Does the bottom have a machined flat face or is it formed? Most of these are not flat and do not work on a smooth cooktop, they warp.

The bottom is flat. I also have a flat top stove. I just used this in the last hour to fry up a half dozen sliders and for the grandkids and they came out excellent. I have been using this consistently since Mother's Day and am very satisfied. I purchased 5 pans, one for myself and one for each of my children's families and they all rave about it. I feel it is the best I could find for the price. Hope this helps.

this one has smooth bottom and i think it should be safe to use it on those smooth cooktops. i cant guarantee because all my live i had gas but by looking at the bottom of that pan it shouldnt scratch or break your cook top. im personally very happy with it.

The bottom is formed, not machined. It is however, a good thick construction and I have not experienced any warping. Another detail that may factor in is that the instructions contained with the pan specify that you should not use high heat. It distributes the heat really well on medium high heat; I don't know if the highest heat setting on a flattop range would cause it to warp.

The bottom is formed not machined. I use it on a glass top stove and it sits flat with no problem with warping. So far.

I am not familiar with the term, machined flat face. It appears flat and when placed on my counter, does not rock at all. There are no ridges on the bottom. I have not used it enough to know if it will warp.

The bottom outside surface is completely smooth. It appears to be ridged but when you run your hand across it, it is smooth. I've been very very happy with this pan.

Yes it does have a flat bottom. I use mine every day making candles. One of the best products I have ever purchased.

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.

No, it doesn't. It's a good, sturdy little pan, but not non-stick. Depending on what I'm using it for, I cover the bottom with a sheet of foil, or use non-stick spray. We've had no problems with it warping.

The bottom is absolutely NOT flat. It is concave about 1/8" at the center. So it will NOT sit flat on the glass-top stove, it will NOT have the best heat transfer on a flat-top stove. Just set the pan on the edge of your counter and you can see it. When a bit of water is placed inside the pan it slowly pools around the edges, which means the inside isn't exactly flat inside either (though seemingly nowhere near as concave as the bottom).

The wok does have a flat bottom. It's not super heavy, so it can slide around on the grates of my Viking cooktop.

After a few uses, it warps dramatically. I have a flat top stove and the pan is not very good. I would not recommend it. Rick

The bottom is flat and it cooks evenly. I love mine and use it for all sorts of goodies.

Yes it does have a flat bottom. I've had a glass top stove for several years, and no scratches.

The bottom of mine is NOT flat. It has some raised areas that actually make it cook very evenly. There is a small square in the center and long tube shaped legs that run about 6 inches acress the bollom.

We have a glass flat top also and there has been no warping. We bought the set over a year ago and my wife cooks with them almost every day.

It does indeed have an indented bottom (sorry). the outer rim is flat to about 3/4" toward the center, but then the remaining inner circle (of about 4+") is the indented part. While the indent is very shallow it will not allow for direct contact to a cooktop surface.

The flat bottom measures 7 1/2" across. That is the area that actually touches the burner. I have an electric stove with a flat "glass" top (no coils) and this pan works extremely well. No warping.

Yes I believe the bottom is perfectly flat. I absolutely adore this pan. Well made, I'm hooked on my Nordic Ware.

Yes, both top and bottom plates are ridged, and they are not reversible (IE the backside of the removable plates are not flat and not teflon-coated, so they're not intended as a cook surface.)

The bottom is flat ,but there is a half inch indentation around the edge . I use it on a glass top stove and have no problems.
