The product info doesn't mention the bottom of the pan - does the manual that comes with it say what it's made of?

Hello, This is directly out of the manual under components and features. "Made of high-quality, heavy-gauge, stainless steel, all cooking takes place in the pressure cooker pot." and on the bottom of the pot is says INOX-stainless steel. Hope this helps.

It's really thick, stainless. The heat distribution is excellent. As with many higher-quality cookware, I believe it has an aluminum disc encapsulated in it. I found this info on the Fagor website before I purchased it.

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.

To answer your question: the bottom of the pan states T304 Stainless, 5 ply. It is stainless steel and of my favorite pans to use for cooking.

It must be aluminum. It wasn't shiny like stainless steel, but did have a nice nonstick finish. I bought it for my son and he has used it and so have I, and we both liked it. Seems like it is a little deeper than lighter weight ones, so the omelets I've made have been thicker than some. I hope this helps.

There is no "made in" stamp on the bottom of the pan, and the box for it is long gone. Sorry.

I can't find that information on my pan though it seems to be very good quality.

I also have no idea, but love the pan. Nothing sticks to it and it's very easy to clean.

The bottom is stainless steel but I'm not sure if it's magnetic. You should get an induction disc so you can use more pans

It is made of high quality anodized aluminum which is great for even heating. I have been using the 3 and 1/2 liter pan for 2 Months and am in love with this product!

Yes. The bottom of the pan in shiny stainless steel. The outer pan is hard anodized.

I'm not sure. The pan is not particularly heavy, I'm pretty sure it's made from aluminum and I'm not sure if there's another type of metal in there too. Honestly, I don't have the pan anymore; the coating began to peel from the outside after about 18 months, and I decided to get a stainless steel tramontina, also from Amazon. Cleanup is not quite as quick, but it cooks beautifully. I'm sorry I don't have the answer you need!

There is nothing on the product's box or in the instruction book that indicates exactly what the non-stick material is. It only says, "Coated with the world's most advanced non-stick technology." You may be able to find the answer by contacting the manufacturer at www.chefschoice.com. The company is actually Edgecraft Corporation in Avondale, PA, ph. 1-800-342-3255.

I'm sorry but I no longer have the paperwork for this pan. The bottom of the pan does not give any kind of designation as to the type of stainless. I will say that it is a very nice pan and I am glad I bought it. Hope this helps a little.

The pan is flat on bottom. It's a great, solid, pan but beware of the exploding lid. I would purchase a lid elsewhere and dispose of the one they provide personally.

It doesn't feel any thicker than the rest of the pan and it doesn't say anything about the thickness on the bottom.

All I can get from the description is 'durable hard-anodized aluminum'. And the back of my pan says 'hard anodized nonstick'. I've had it a couple years and its still good as new.

It has a smooth bottom. I'd buy this pan again, it has held up well to years of use.
