is this canner flat bottomed

circular raised ridges on bottom. I do my canning out in my summer kitchen/screen house using propane gas one burner stoves. I have canned jelly jars (8 oz) pints and quarts in this canner. So far I have had no problems. It has a raised platform that fits inside to sit the cans on. I hope this helps.

I am not certain. The one I purchased was a gift. Give me a little time and I will check with her and see. I know that she loved it and used it a lot this summer canning. I would think that it would have at least a small lip or ring to keep it from warping but may be wrong.

No. It has circular ridges where a burner would hit. I have used with electric and gas stove tops with no problrm.

Yes, I used the canner on my flat glass burner stove. I had no problems, very pleased with the results.

Yes the bottom is flat. Easy to scrape. The sides have indentations but I don't have any trouble with those either.

The rack is metal, not sure if it's stainless. My issue with the canner is the rippled bottom. I have a glass stovetop and it does not heat evenly, therefore it never reaches the appropriate temperature to can. I am looking for a smooth bottom one currently.

Yes, it is flat, but very thin and sensitive. Not the most well made kettle, but gets the job done.

Yes it is flat on the bottom and slightly rounded on the sides. This is a beautiful and serviceable pan, you will never regret owning one.

It is flat on the bottom. It has a diameter of 11 3/4 inches and a depth of 9 1/2 inches. You would need to having a canning rack that would fit down into the pan so the jars are covered in boiling water.

Yes, bottom is flat. Nice and heavy so as to prevent warping. Sits very flat on my woodstove when I cook there.

Yes it does. Very easy to use! Basically just like a regular canner just much less water which makes the job much quicker and easier.

It's because the bottom isn't flat and no they don't make one that is flat. Most canners have a raised bottom so the glass jars don't come in contact with the heat source.

Yes the bottom is flat but the pan is very strong because of its thickness.

Robert, the bottom is slightly rounded. Not completely flat or rounded. The bottom section of my pot got pitted and discolored from just regular use. I personally don't care for this item but I don't use it that often so I haven't replaced it and most likely will continue to use it.

It is flat, but you may need to bend the handle upwards a bit. I have a glasstop and I use this, but DO NOT put a heavy pot on it and try to move it or you definitely will scratch the glass.

No - we've had ours for a couple of years. It's great, and very stable. The bottom is actually flat.

Mostly flat. There is a drain indention around the outer edge. I sure do love mine. I like having the wire rack as well as the broil top.

yes it does have a flat bottom. We have been using it on an electric range with glass cooktop.

Yes I believe the bottom is perfectly flat. I absolutely adore this pan. Well made, I'm hooked on my Nordic Ware.
