Is the bottom of the pan flat or raised?

It is not totally flat. It has a raised ring around the bottom and then flattens out. So, if you were to back a cake and turn it upside down, you would have an indent on the cake bottom where the pan is raised. The ring is about 1/2 inch wide and about 1/2 inch in from outside of the pan.

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.

Bottom is flat with slightly round edge. I luv this pan, nice and big, easy to clean and if you follow the instructions for the first few used should last long time.

Yes, it has a flat bottom and I am finding it as my "go to" pot! I like this pot best out of all the Anolon set I have.Enjoy

It starts out flat, but over time mine has developed a hump. Most of the large pans I have used that are made of some unheavy material get a hump.

The bottom is flat and it cooks evenly. I love mine and use it for all sorts of goodies.

The bottom on the outside looks different from the one I purchased. Mine doesn't step in like that. It is smooth to the bottom. I love my pan though. I use it frequently because I can put it under the broiler if the food isn't browned enough without worrying about breaking it.

The bottom and sides have ridges; only the top cover is smooth. I use this pan for making pain de mie, which produces a perfectly square loaf of bread.

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.

The bottom is flat so it sets evenly on an electric stove, but the inside bottom is fairly rounded. Not as rounded as a saucier pan, but not as flat as a sauce pan.

I just checked it out - It lies flat up-side-down (handles don't rise above the rim of the pan).

There is a slight groove, it is shallow and smooth, but it is not raised in the middle. It is a very sturdy pizza pan, the stainless steel is very thick. I definitely recommend this pan.

The bottom is flat. I haven't had any issues with strength, I've cooked 20lb turkeys and large hams. It gets used every week :)

The bottom of my Dutch oven seems perfectly flat. It seats solidly on a Thermador electric cook top. I have found it very satisfactory both on the cook top and in the oven.

No, it is *not* flat on the bottom. There are some raised ridges on the bottom. Glad I coiuld help!
