Are the outside bottoms of pans smooth or textured or with rings?

The bottom the pan is flat, however it has small 1/4 inch circles on it. Hope this makes sense.

The bottoms are half circles. I used skewers to "rotate" them. One full tablespoon of batter is all the wells could hold and allow me to "rotate" them easily.

They are flat on the bottom. They do have ridges that go up into the pan/pot, but that doesn't affect anything.

We opened the box, felt how rough the bottom was, like an etched metal design, and put in right back in the box to return it. The bottom is very rough. It wasn't worth taking a chance ruining my glasstop stove. We purchased Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Stainless Steel 10 Piece Cookware Set which we have been very happy with. The bottom is flat and smooth :)

The flat part of the bottom is smooth, the rest of the outside has ridges v

They are heavy metal with weighted bottoms, very similar to AllClad. These pans are one of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon and bought them for both our home and beach condo. All the good reviews are spot on!

Mine were stainless on outside and as I recall they all had copper bottoms. I gave them away after about a month because I didn't like them at all. It said non-stick; however, only the skillets were non-stick. Also, if took FOREVER for them to heat up and boil anything, even on high setting. I ordered some Cooks Essentials from QVC (which I had for years previously), and I'm very pleased with them. I was hoping to save money by purchasing Paula Deen set but that was a mistake. Hope this helps--sorry.

I received the wrong item so I can't answer your question. I received a smooth griddle when it should have had ridges.

It is the flat bottom slope sided Millennium pans with different handles - they are curved and somewhat uncomfortable to hold. We returned these pans as the exterior discolored in the dishwasher which indicated they were aluminum rather than stainless steel. That could have been the set we got but we did not try again.

Smooth bottom, tip you should always clean the pan while it is hot with a paper towel This is the best pan I ever bought I own 5 of these now with lids.

They are steel and non-stick. I absolutely prefer the smooth pans rather than these with the corrugated surface. I find these much more difficult to clean.

Yes, they are smooth on the bottom. They do discolor inside; make sure to have plenty of stainless steel cleaner on hand.

All of the pans, including the griddle, have a copper heat-dispersion system built in to the bottom, however, the pans other than the griddle are smooth. The griddle's bottom is smooth in the center, but has rough, concentric rings of ridges around the outside corners. These ridges are far enough away from the center that the'll not touch a raised burner. They might scratch a flat, glass stovetop, though.

They are slightly rounded and smooth ans they haven't damaged our stainless steel pans but using it in a non stick with a soft surface might make you nervous.
