is the cooking side flat

Just as the picture shows the bottom is flat with a wooden handle. I got it for grilled cheese sandwiches.

Yes the bottom is flat. Easy to scrape. The sides have indentations but I don't have any trouble with those either.

No what I do is cook one side and flip it over then put the flat iron on top of it.

Yes the bottom is flat but the pan is very strong because of its thickness.

Not flat. You could set it on its side, or put it in the bottom wide drawer.

Yes, perfectly flat, and it should stay that way if you avoid extreme heat. It is not apparent from the picture that this is a sauté pan with high vertical sides. Not suitable for omelets.David Roberts

it is flat. it has 4 little legs on it. It is not heat resistent. I put a deep fryer on one and it bowed. it does not lay flat now. Must use glass for hot things.

Yes, it is flat, but very thin and sensitive. Not the most well made kettle, but gets the job done.

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

It is slightly flat. You need a wooden bowl for that kind of chopper to work best.

I confess that my husband is the primary user of this pan (and the kitchen, sad to say -- or glad to say, truth be told) and he tells me that the bottom of the pan is flat. He says it is the best pan he has ever used for omelets and I can attest to that. He tells me the heat distribution across the bottom of the pan is nice and even. We have a glass-topped electric stove which typically has tiny uneven heating areas. So far, it seems the pan compensates well for that.

It is flat, however, the contour of the cooking surface directs liquids (oil, eggs, melted butter) away from the center. So if you're cooking like pancakes, the batter doesn't stay in one spot.

The sides are not quite straight just a very slight angle - not very noticeable. I love this pan for baking my yellow cake and then I use a glaze and mix my fresh strawberries in it and place it on top of the cake. A great dessert. I hope I have helped you.

It is flat. I will not recommend this because the non-stick coating peeled off after a couples of week under normal usages.

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

Not sure exactly what you mean, but the bottom of the pot is flat. It does have rolled edges at the side though. Hope this answers your question.

It is not flat...it has rings around the bottom that are grooved. I have never seen a canner that is totally flat on the bottom. That may be why you cannot use on a glass top burner...I use mine on my outdoor cooker. That works great!
