Yes it is flat, it tends to get sticky with grease stain however if there is not enough oil or grease to cover the base of the pan. It is a nice big pot however..

Yes! I have used it to make pancakes. It seems to have hot spots though, as my pancakes didn't cook evenly. I may have been doing something wrong though, or maybe it's my stove; in any case they were delicious.

Yes, the bottom of the pan is flat. We haven't used it yet for pancakes but I believe that it would work well, as long as you use a low heat setting.

yes the bottom is flat with rounded edges, it is large enough to make an 10 incher

It is totally flat on the bottom, just be aware that it is very thin metal, might tweak a little when first heating up. Happy hot potting, hope this helps.

I have the 12" version of this pan and on mine I have to say that the bottom is not completely flat-there is a slight hump in the center. Ingredients, including oil, tend to pool up in the edges of the pan while the middle stays bare. It's not an illusion caused by the non-stick qualities. Not good for applications like pancakes or crepes but ok for stir fry, browning meat, etc. That being said, the nonstick is pretty incredible and, overall it's a decent pan. Just depends on if you need a completely flat surface.

Yes, the bottom is flat. It's big, though. Diameter is 12.5" across the bottom, and the largest element on my ceramic cooktop is 9.5" across. However, the pan conducts heat very well, so the size in the end was not an issue for me. Hope this helps.

The Bottom of this pan, or any of this style, is not flat, you will have problems using it with a radiant range.

It does not sit perfectly flat however, the rim on the bottom is smooth. I use it to make pancakes with my bridge burners on my smooth top. To date I have not found a flat bottom griddle. (P.S. I also use cast iron on my smooth top, which is a big no..no..)

Yes, this pan does have a FLAT bottom. I have always used mine in my OVEN and have not cooked with it on my Ceramic Cooktop. I love this square pan and believe it would be fine on a Ceramic Cooktop. It does sit flat on the cooktop. Ope this helps.

Hi. Bottom is not completely flat. I think the description may say if it can be used on both gas and electric stoves. You can clean inside.

Yes the bottom is flat with curved sides. My husband loves this pan because he is a amateur chef and he is strong enough to flip contents over an open fire with this pan as well.

It is flat. I love the pan. A little larger than I need but does a great job.

Yes the bottom is flat. It is used on a glass top stop now and it works fine.

I specifically purchased mine with the flat surface so I could use it as an everyday frying pan for eggs and such. I also love to use this pan for baking corn bread, so a grill pan bottom would not have worked for me.

The bottom is perfectly flat. Don't know anything about pans on glass topped stoves.

It is flat. It is good for making chapati's but not good for frying an egg.

bottom is flat, these are very thin pans best for boiling things that will not stick

It definitely has a flat bottom. I have a glass top induction cook top, and pans have to be flat and magnetic. This pot is both. I suspect a canning rack would fit. I did not use it for canning. I used it for three chickens to make chicken broth and then soup to feed 50 people!.
