Are the bottoms of these pans and griddle the solid black smooth brushed finish?

Outside bottom is smooth black with copper rings. Inside bottom is smooth black with a grey sort of chicken wire pattern and a heat sensor in the center.

I wish I could help. They were a housewarming gift for my daughter. If I recall correctly they were a smooth finish but I couldn't tell you if they were black or steel.

All of the pans, including the griddle, have a copper heat-dispersion system built in to the bottom, however, the pans other than the griddle are smooth. The griddle's bottom is smooth in the center, but has rough, concentric rings of ridges around the outside corners. These ridges are far enough away from the center that the'll not touch a raised burner. They might scratch a flat, glass stovetop, though.

Yes...they are flat and do great on a flat glass top. Best cookware Ive purchased in a long time. Cooks evenly and quickly.

Can't tell but, these pans are nice and heavy. They just discolor if u put them in the dishwasher.....but beside that, I love the size and how sturdy they are. I use them pretty much.

No it is smooth stainless steel and if something doesn't wash out, such as bean stain, I polish it with Bar Keeper's friend. My pots, I have used for many years, still look and cook like new. Corinne T.

I received the wrong item so I can't answer your question. I received a smooth griddle when it should have had ridges.

They look more like a brushed nickel. They aren't black and they aren't a shiny stainless.

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

No I do not believe they have a coating finish on them, they are stainless steel.

They will look buffed or scratched almost immediately, just like the cloudy finish that I'm told comes from cooking with salt. It does not hamper their utility. They are the best pans I have ever used as well as the most expensive.

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.

Finish is very smooth but not glossy like the rubber spatulas. Not at all grainy.

Yes they are smooth. I use them on my ceramic stove all the time with no problems.

They are smooth. I used them for mini brownies and it was like a mini muffin pan.

Don't claim to know - but they seem sturdy and look beautiful. We have brushed stainless finish upstairs and oil rubbed bronze downstairs and would do it again - no, will. We are remodeling our other house this summer... Maybe a note to mfg. could go more in depth.

Yes they are. Both the top and bottom grills are completely flat, no ridges. We are currently using two of them at our restaurant as a quesadilla press. They work well but over time do get much harder to clean.

Yes they are. I bought the skillets only and very happy with them. One of them is used daily and after a year, it looks like new.

Yes, the top and bottom are smooth. All the screw heads are on the back, sides, and front.
