Is the cooking surface smooth?

It has a slight texture. Not smooth like plastic or stainless steel. A spatula glides smooth enough though because it's preseasoned.

Yes, it is. If anyone wants to buy my barely used one I would sell it. It doesn't work well on my smooth-top stove.

It seems to get smoother the more I use it. I have a fry pan that felt rough also when I purchased it, and its smoother now.

I don't know how much you know about cast iron, but as far as I know, none are smooth. They get a smooth texture over time from cooking and proper cleaning. That seasons the pan and makes them the best non stick you ever cooked with. Don't use soap to clean, just scrape the pan clean with one of the cast iron pan scrapers and then rinse with Hot water. Then place the pan on a hot cooking surface and rub veggie oil or shortening into the pan and turn off the heat.

It is completely smooth on the bottom. This works out great for me, makes it easier to clean.

l'd say it is slightly textured. Neither plate smooth or heavily pebbled. Not unlike other Lodge cookware in its texture; it does have a feel of having a non-stick surface.

Yes, it has a smooth base. I use it on my glass top stove. I am really happy with this steamer!

The bottom has a bit of texture just like the inside of the skillet. I considered it smooth.

Surface is smooth, since it's steel and not iron. Smooth surface will cause foods to stick more and retain seasoned condition for shorter length of time. "Bumpy" surface allows for seasoning to be trapped between the bumps and The seasoning stays longer on the surface.

It's cast iron so you shouldn't expect a perfectly smooth surface like a coated non-stick skillet. Mine was delivered in excellent condition and I have had no issues with the cooking surface.

No it is very smooth. However I am not sure why mine dried out a little bit and developed some surface crackers on the top? It is still a sturdy comb.

It is pretty smooth. depending on what vegetables I use, sometimes there is some foam, but overall I would say its smooth.

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

Yes it's smooth; but if I had granite I would glue rubber stops/protectors on the bottom just to be on the safe side.

Yes the smooth side is the bottom. I also used it to make fancy corn bread muffins

Yes, super smooth. I have been using it for six months and it still maintains perfect conditions.

It is smooth though you do want to shake well before using it. It was thinner than I expected but since I mix it the food it doesn't matter that much. Hope this helps �

Yes it is very smooth. It is also a very handsome kitchen accessory. I used it for fennel seeds. As they turned to powder, the powder did not have anything to cling to and just sank to the bottom.

It is smooth with a very small amount of texture, not what I would call pebbled. It becomes smoother as it is used and the seasoning deepens.

Yes, it is. I did not want a non-stick surface. I've only used it a few times, but am very happy with it. Very easy to clean.
