Is the top (that is the pot) connected securly to the bottom, the heating part? So it does not move around while on the road?

Yes, it's been a good pot so far, used it probably about 100 times and still works great.

No, Robert, it is somewhat rounded. The metal is also thinner making the two pots light weight, but once filled it is stable on the stove. It seems a little fragile, so treat it with care.

Both heat and exhaust exit out the top. There is minimal smoke, and you won't blacken your pots to anything near the level you'd get throwing them on an open campfire.

It can get a bit warm. I keep a flat pot holder, kitchen cloth close. But, I wouldn't trade this wok for any of those with the screwed on handle (or any other wok, really). No moving parts, solid handle, solid feel.

It doesn't really say, but I do on our flat-top; just watch the heat, because this pot "nicely" retains it and could burn your food.

The pots have a design and words on the bottom but does not affect the heating surface..

I have the attached fan to disperse the heat, so the top does not get very hot.

Well, it's on wheels. If you aren't worried about it rolling off, seems like there would be no issue. But why would you want to? The unit more resembles a radiator than a heat fan. The warmth will reach you, regardless of its position.

It is flat, but you may need to bend the handle upwards a bit. I have a glasstop and I use this, but DO NOT put a heavy pot on it and try to move it or you definitely will scratch the glass.

Nope. I never had a problem with it. I generally use it on a granite countertop. The heat is on the top of the unit, not on the bottom.

It's flat. I use it on an inductive range which is flat too and could be described as a flat electric cooker (with the power of magnets). The pot and the cooker work really well together- flat surface against flat surface like two books kissing.

Yes, a magnet does stick to the bottom. I haven't had any of the problems other people are mentioning, but the handles do get hot and you need pot holders.

The handle does get a little warm close to the pot. and the lids knob does get hot.

No, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.

Yes. The exterior is slightly warm on the bottom, but not enough to heat up whatever is underneath.

It gets pretty warm on the outside. But, if you need to move it, use the handles - that's what they're for and they don't get hot.

it is flat. it has 4 little legs on it. It is not heat resistent. I put a deep fryer on one and it bowed. it does not lay flat now. Must use glass for hot things.
