Is the bottom of this pot flat? Is the bottom of the Graniteware 16 Quart Preserving Kettle flat?

This does not have a flat bottom, it will not work on glass-top electric stoves.

The bottom surface is flat. It is a metal plate that has been welded to the bottom of the kettle--also flat. I have an induction range and the kettle works fine with it. If the kettle should boil dry and overheat that plate may warp (happened to a friend). Otherwise the kettle is very serviceable. I use it daily.

The bottom is flat ,but there is a half inch indentation around the edge . I use it on a glass top stove and have no problems.

there is a rim although I set the kettle down on a perfectly flat surface and it was steady. Perhaps flat-surface stoves need all-over contact though.

Yes, the bottom is flat. We've had ours for two Thanksgivings now, and it's been perfect, still looks new. I don't expect we'll ever need a replacement.

No, the bottoms are not completely flat. They seem to work OK on my glass top stove though...The recess is maybe 1/8" or so...

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

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

Never understood why people answer these questions without an answer...The answer is YES! I have the 16-qt., and I put it in the bottom rack. Bust as with any stainless product washed in the DW, you will occasionally need to polish the bottom with some Bon Ami to restore its luster. Great pot!

Yes the bottom is flat with curved sides. My husband loves this pan because he is a amateur chef and he is strong enough to flip contents over an open fire with this pan as well.

Yes it has a flat bottom......check with Lodge if it is safe on a ceramic cooktop.

Yes it has a flat bottom. I have a glass top induction stove and it works great. It is a beautiful tea kettle.

The bottom of the pan IS flat. And may I add this pan surpasses all the name brands. You're going to love it!

do you mean the pot itself or the bottom of the stand? Either way, both are flat. And just as a counter to Anne's comment, I love this pot. I've used it for cheese, meat and chocolate fondues and it has performed very well with all three.

Yes it has a flat bottom. I have an electric stove and it works just fine with my electric burners.

Yes, this kettle has a flat bottom. This is a great tea kettle, I'm sure you will enjoy yours as much as I do mine on my glass top stove.

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