Is the bottom of the pan inside smooth or is there an etching or pattern of some sort making it not smooth?

I bought it for a gift for my granddaughter, she loves it ,she said it cooks very nice, she never had any problem.

the frying pan has a bubbles texture each about the size of a small button or maybe bubble wrap pattern...I think it helps prevents stuff sticking to surface

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.

Yes, it's a smooth surface. Kind of like a granite counter top. We love it! It's easy to clean and doesn't scratch like Teflon does.

The bottom is smooth but indented so that the center does not make contact with the countertop. The edges are the slightest bit rough, like raw ceramic. This should not be a problem on granite, but if you're concerned, a few stick-on felt pads should do the trick.

Yes, the bottom is smooth & has no grooves or indentations in it. My electric stove top is ceramic, as well & this wok is perfect.

I do not have the round pan. I have the meatloaf or loaf pan and the sides are smooth and the bottom has ridges. I have the bundt pan which is smooth and the muffin pan which is smooth.

l'd say it is slightly textured. Neither plate smooth or heavily pebbled. Not unlike other Lodge cookware in its texture; it does have a feel of having a non-stick surface.

The bottom is fairly smooth, it reminds me of vinyl record. I have a new LG stove with the ceramic cooktop and have not had any problem.

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

There is a groove on the inside. It wasn't really problematic when cleaning it except that I had pay a little more attention to it.

I can't remember if mine was highly polished on the inside, but it will not stay that way anyway (inside or outside). Some people keep polishing it with cleaners, but I like the patina that occurs naturally.

Robert, the bottom is slightly rounded. Not completely flat or rounded. The bottom section of my pot got pitted and discolored from just regular use. I personally don't care for this item but I don't use it that often so I haven't replaced it and most likely will continue to use it.

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

It sounds like your pan warped in the middle like my old, less expensive one did. This is a much better quality than the others are. Weighs more and has a different interior surfacing. This one is FLAT and should stay that way, too.

It is not completely smooth. It has a slight ridge that goes around the bottom about an inch and a half from the edge of the pot. Hope that helps. Mary

There is a slightly rippled texture to the surface - only noticeable when looking closely at it - and the combination of this texture and the materials used to make the surface make for a great non-stick surface. We've used ours regularly for a couple of months now and have yet to use any type of Pam or other product. Food glides right off.

Hi Sandra - Yes. It's a sand casting, cast in a sand mold so the surface texture is normal. I also have a larger Lodge wok whose surface is similar, but finer. I find I like it better.

It has a smooth bottom. I'd buy this pan again, it has held up well to years of use.
