Normal installation would have this recessed so that the surface is flush with whatever it is mounted on/into

It does not have to be fully flush mounted, but there must be a recess below the handle and finger groove area. The outside edges can mount flat on top of your surface after that.

My pan sits perfectly on my ceramic stove top, in fact, it sits in place better than other pans I have that tend to easily slide on the surface. I really like this pan even though it is more shallow than I though when I purchased it. It has worked out well and I recommend it.

2" thick isn't a problem, the allowable depth for the bolts that hold it in place are just under 3". As for it being recessed, it depends. There are two bolts on the underside that would be about 1" from the edge of what you're attaching it to. The bolts have flat disks on the end that you screw up tight against the underside of the table. You could conceivably have each bolt at different depths since they operate independently. But, if they happen to hit on the edge of the recessed area where they can't be flat against the underside, then that would be a problem. This is a link to a pic I just took of mine so you have an idea of what you're dealing with. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzfelt1twuPvVGJHUlFobndCU2M/edit?usp=sharing

This varies from individual to individual. I don't know about you, but I have tried this a few times with the one that I bought and not had any success. My guess is that, for most people, a somewhat deeper pan is required, and it wouldn't hurt for it to be a bit larger in its lateral dimensions.

B. Coomes asks the very same question I have. I got a 12" skillet and sent it back because it was warped in the middle and NOT flat. I now BADLY want this 5.5 qt. casserole to take it's place, but I see negative reviews for it as well, exactly like my review for the 12" skillet. That was exceedingly disappointing! Does anyone with a FLAT cooktop stove have a good review for this pan??????? I'm not ordering until I know that they are not ALL defective, and that I have a good chance with it.

My lid is 10" so would have sit on plate. I don't think will be problem since we had do that with our other one. Just be aware, if directions say leave uncovered, follow them or you'll have mess to clean up.

It can be either surface or recessed. Ours is recessed. It was easy to install and is a high quality cabinet.

I am not quite sure how to answer you. Why? You have stated how the unit should be set up in order to toast and that somehow is not correct. My unit acts perfectly well as a toaster, convection oven, broiler and baker. I toast anything I want. I bake bread in it and use it totally in place of my regular oven (it is less expensive to run) so the elements which don't look like standard elements are not in the middle and somehow that makes no difference at all. This is the best counter top unit I have ever had and i would buy it again.

The minimum depth will be determined by what kind of shelf pin you will use. I think around a quarter to three eighths is what will be required for most shelf pins. Also remember that there are a couple of different diameters for the pin as well, when you purchase them. I just did some in 1/2 inch so you should not have any trouble. Just dont over drill.

that is how I used it. Just put it a little higher, if you can. I put something under it, like a board, or sometimes nothing. It works well.

Thanks for pointing this out to me. The L8SGP3 pan is deeper than the pan I purchased. There is no depth to the pan I have. There are no "sides". I might like this other pan as well.

We installed it as recessed, but it can also be surface mounted. You do need a kit. The manufacturer sells it.

I did pretty much the same thing as the other person who answered, but only recessed it about 2", just enough so it wouldn't look like it was balanced on top of the counter. I prefer a little more solid look. Since the foil on the outside of the bowl can be delicate if it isn't well protected, read my reply to the question "does light go through...?" You don't want to damage the foil if there is movement between the counter and the bowl because of differences in expansion and contraction.

It does not fit flat against the wall. There is a protruding part at that left of the back. On the right I had enough room for the plug so I lost about 2 to 3 inches of counter depth. I still had enough room in the front on the counter so I'm happy with it. I hope this helps you. Best of luck!

It can be surface mounted or recessed. We have a smaller version in one bathroom that is surface mounted; it came with decorative mirror panels to attach to the sides of the cabinet. We had the larger model recessed in the remodel of a different bathroom. Very pleased with both. There is a mirror on the inside of each door and a mirror panel along the back with glass shelves.
