The pan doesn't lay flat--it's slightly higher on the sides so it moves around. Is that normal?

haven't run into this problem. using 8 for sunday morning quiche and they all seem to sit in the ovens and cook without incident.

I have one that lays completely flat and another that the bottom is slightly rounded. The one with the rounded bottom will spin in a circle if I tap it but otherwise stays put. My cakes come out better (even and done in center) with them then with regular pans but I live high altitude region.

Mine is flat. The non-stick surface repels oils so one may begin to think that the surface is not flat because of the way oils run around the pan. I think it has more to do with the heat distribution though than the flatness of the pan. Also, I am careful with all my pans to heat them up slowly before I cook on them. I have not tried turning the flame on high to a cold pan to see if it warps but I also don't intend to do this.

The pan is flat on bottom. It's a great, solid, pan but beware of the exploding lid. I would purchase a lid elsewhere and dispose of the one they provide personally.

I confess that my husband is the primary user of this pan (and the kitchen, sad to say -- or glad to say, truth be told) and he tells me that the bottom of the pan is flat. He says it is the best pan he has ever used for omelets and I can attest to that. He tells me the heat distribution across the bottom of the pan is nice and even. We have a glass-topped electric stove which typically has tiny uneven heating areas. So far, it seems the pan compensates well for that.

yes, the pan has a flat bottom. a very nice heavy ( in its quality) pan. you know how some pans will " pop" as you try to stir?... this pan will not do that.... nice and heavy.I love this pan and use it often.

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

It is flat. I love the pan. A little larger than I need but does a great job.

I haven't had any problems with it tilting. The base is of heavier construction than the rest of the pan. I am impressed however, with the non stick properties of the pan it is as good now as when I first bought the pan.

at the top of the pan it is 5 1/2 by 3 then pan then tapers to the bottom, meaning the sides do not go straight down

The bottom rests flat on the counter, but the edges round up. It wont roll around on the counter.

No. Because it's an aluminum pan that has a great non-stick surface applied to it. Mine warped and stuff ran to the edges. However, I used the palm of my hands to press on the center of the pan while it was on a mattress to get it level again. Hope this helps.

My pan doesn't have anything on the side. I don't know what that is, unless it's some photographic anomaly.

I've never paid any attention to this so I got the pan out to look at it. It doesn't have straight sides and looks like it is narrower at the bottom than the top.

as someone else stated, it starts off flat then becomes convex. I usually take a rubber mallet to the pan every few months to fix the issue.LOL

I have the 12" version of this pan and on mine I have to say that the bottom is not completely flat-there is a slight hump in the center. Ingredients, including oil, tend to pool up in the edges of the pan while the middle stays bare. It's not an illusion caused by the non-stick qualities. Not good for applications like pancakes or crepes but ok for stir fry, browning meat, etc. That being said, the nonstick is pretty incredible and, overall it's a decent pan. Just depends on if you need a completely flat surface.

Mine was a little flat too. I think if you just leave it sitting out, it should fluff up and be ok.
