is the bottom part, inside, smooth or ridged? it's easier to clean if where you place the butter is smooth. thanks.

the inside where the butter goes is smooth. there is only a ridge around the outside for the cover to fit on. very heavy glass!

The butter dish is oversized. Inside has a flat surface for the butter. There is a lip around the stick and the bottom curves up. It's very stylish and I like the knob. Also, I put my butter on the countertop and the ceramic keeps the butter cool.

It is smooth. There is a slight rim on the bottom plate that frames the area where the butter sits. It does notimpede the cleaning of the plate at all. I wouldn't like ridges either.

The bottom is flat & smooth and I use it on my stove that has a glass top :-)

The two pairs of ridges on the lower and upper third of the bowls are raised on the outside only. The surface of the bowl on the inside where the ridges are is smooth. The very top band is offset though. So the bowl is smooth on the inside from the bottom to the top band, then it moves outward slightly. These bowls are excellent and perfect for kitchen work.

the bottom is grooved, however i use the pan on a glasstop range without any problem.

Yes, the inside bottom is flat and smooth. The top is wider than bottom, The green one in the picture is example of finished item, you can see directly from the picture. Sincerely, Seller: Allforhome

The mat'a is super slippery so that clarified butter (ghee) would not sink in or stain. The mat is floppy so not easy to control in the sink, but other than that, it's easy to wash.

On the inside or outside. Mine is kinda that way on the outside. Did you wash and reseason it! I recommended doing that! If still feels odd, I'd ask for a replacement. I bought three of these, 2 as gifts and mine are smooth on the inside cooking surface

it is even and flat.. I have had problems with the heating element working blacking out.. we removed the bottom and cleaned it a couple time and it works better for a while.. great for browning and making large meals..

It has a slight texture. Not smooth like plastic or stainless steel. A spatula glides smooth enough though because it's preseasoned.

The surface is fairly smooth. It has that texture like most non stick surfaces do. It also a hole for grease to drain and a little cup that carches the grease. Hope this helps. Mine works great for cooking eggs, bacon, and pancakes. About all I've used mine for so far.

There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place. I find it easier when moving it to just take the lid off and carry the butter exposed in the dish. It would be nice if they would put some kind of handle on the lid but in lieu of that, when carrying the entire dish, I always wrap my hand around the entire top of the dish all the way to the bottom and grip it that way. Otherwise, as mentioned before, I take the lid off. Once you put the lid on and have it in place, however, the rim WILL keep the lid in place unless you jostle it hard. Hope this helps. Love this dish. Butter never goes bad and stays nice and soft. There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place.

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.

The bowl is smooth at the bottom and the soap will slide around as you prepare to lather up. I prefer the bowl due to its dexterity I have dropped it and it didn't get any cracks.

When I saw this question, I went into my kitchen & grabbed my butter dish. It is not slippery. I don't know why people have said they drop this dish as I have never had that happen & I have had it for at least 3 to 4 years. Maybe this happens to some people because it is a wider dish but that is what I love about it. It holds 2 sticks of butter at once instead of one. If anything would happen to this dish, I would purchase another one without hesitation.

On the pots, the bottom is smooth, but on the frying pan, there are bumps in the bottom. I find it helpful when cooking things like bacon with just the slightest lift from the grease.

I have opened a plastic peanut butter lid, but it was ridged. Not sure about a smooth one. It did not leave marks on metal.

The outside has tiny, evenly spaced, ridges on the sides. The inside is smooth
