Yes, the pans have metal ring on the bottom and they are okay for use on ceramic sttoves.

Yes this pot has a very thick flat bottom. Also works on induction cooktops.

It has a ring on the bottom. You might find a Pyrex kettle better for your ceramic stove.

No, it began to cup up after a few months. Frankly, I think all thin bottom skillets will do it because modern gas stoves are capable of cranking out so many BTU's and because they do not hit the entire bottom, the hottest part is bound to expand. We have switched entirely to cast iron skillets and we love them. You can get them blazing hot without damaging them and once they are seasoned, they are easy to clean. Boil a little water in them, scrub a bit - no soap - and they are clean. And they last a life time! Happy cooking to you.

No, I use it on my flat surface electric stove. However, I do use a metal rack to keep it off the surface.

Yes, perfectly flat, and it should stay that way if you avoid extreme heat. It is not apparent from the picture that this is a sauté pan with high vertical sides. Not suitable for omelets.David Roberts

The bottom of the pan is attracted to the stove magnetism. I'm no engineer and I don't know exactly how it works, but it does work. The bottom of the pan is not aluminum and it is specially built onto the pan.

My pan has stayed flat. Less expensive pans will do this when over heated. Not a good idea on any pan.

this is a great pan. i have many pots & pans but i use this one the most. i use only a moderate flame under the pan on a gas stove. i find that i dont need to crank up the flame & they warn you not to. with or without the lid...it is a super pan.!! enjoythe pan comes with precise directions for how hot in the oven.if you go to the cuisinart site & look at the pan they give the all the info.

Hi Clifford, yes the pan has a slight dome in the middle. Don't know if it is on purpose or just a result of the way it is manufactured. It doesn't seem to cause any temperature variations across the bottom the way I use it.

It is flat until it is exposed to high heat. I bought two of these pans (thinking the first was defective, I bought another). Both pans perfectly flat against induction top to start, but once placed in oven (we sear meat on stove top, finish cooking in the oven), the pans warped. They are rated to 550 degrees, but we never put above 475. Might be fine if you never put in the oven. I also have the non-stick versions and have had no problems with those since they don't go in the oven.

It is not a flat solid all the way across. The pan is cast iron and holds heat very well. I use it on a ceramic top & I've had great success.

I have had no problems with the pan not staying level. The bottom is quite thick.

Yes it is flat, it tends to get sticky with grease stain however if there is not enough oil or grease to cover the base of the pan. It is a nice big pot however..

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan (I just tried it ). I use this pan on a smooth top electric stove, no problem there. This is a nice pan.

There are metal rings on the bottom that might be rough on your stove if that is your concern.
