Are the bottoms of these bowls completely flat or do the sides have a slight slope (to pool food in the middle)?

no I don't think I would consider them flat, it has a circle like in the middle of the bottom, so more or less with my cat, food gets pushed inside around the edge of bottom of the bowl and I have to spread it out so it's easier for her. While on the subject, I love the holder, but bought new bowls that fit it. My cat refused to drink water out of those bowls, and it seemed it easily collected a film in the bowl in a matter of my cat drinking out of it once...I guess back wash like film maybe, anyways cat wouldn't use them, so bought better bowls. Hope this helps.

The bottom is mostly flat; however, the center is slightly raised so if anything the food pools on the outer edge

They do have a slight slope to the center and the actual bottom is level. We use them for dry food and both cats love it.

The bottom of the dishes are flat. There is not much taper towards the center. I am very pleased with it as it catches the crumbs she drops as she eats, I noticed a few just now when I went to remove the water one to check what the dish was like. Also.. I sprayed the bottom of the legs with Pam cooking spray and it keeps away the ants so I can leave the dry food out all the time.

I only use mine for dry food. So there is no pooling of food. The bottom is flat but but the sides are a slight angle. I don't think wet food would pool in the middle though.

Hi, they are flat. My cat loves it, well worth the price too. I hope this helps!

I took a good look just now, and the sides go straight up. Also noticed the bottom of the bowl goes up, slightly concave, or convex, depends on which side of the bowl you are looking at .

Yes the bottoms are concave, and also they are not stackable (they wedge and break).

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.

Hi, Karen. They're curved slightly. We've had flat ones too - no big difference in use. They look good and work well. Nice quality. They've held up to repeated use and washing too. Hope that helps. Best, Susan

It is flat. If you get them, make sure to not get the water level too high. I bought this for my grandson and his beta jumped out of the opening on the top and died.

I have bought a number on line and they are all flat bottom. I have the rounded ones, bought elsewhere, but they are smaller.

Mine are not flat. They have a bit of a dip towards the middle. And I have never had any food roll off

The bottom is flat but much smaller than the top. I find the sloping sides work with a whisk.

The bottoms are smooth. I like the pans . Easy to clean . There are slight ridges inside the pans but no tidges outside. I also like the glass covers.

They are flat bottomed, but have a really tiny ridge running in the middle. I have not noticed any water deposits but I next time I run it through the dishwasher I can look for that specifically and I'll let you know.

They are not truly flat. The bottom is slightly convex. If you tell me your application I may be able to give you a better answer.

No they are not. They have a flat bottom, but a rounded top. Hope this helps!

This is a heavy weight flatware. There is a slight dimple at the end of the spoon and fork handle that lends itself to ease of holding and balance. I'd say they are both flat and have softly rounded edges. I love this set which I am using every day and putting in the dishwasher with good results.

yes, the sides are straight... they do not angle out (I assume that's what you're asking, correct?) They're a little shallow for what I'm used to but other than that, should be great for layered cakes!

The soup bowls are pretty flat. We've been using them for cereal and work fine, but I plan on looking for some coordinating bowls that are better suited for cereal.
