Is it heavy? Can I get a lid for it? Is it good on flat top stoves?

It is not heavy but sturdy. I use it daily on my electric cooktop stove. It heats fast and evenly. Luc it for breakfast eggs on one side bacon on the other.

Hi.. I do not know what its weight is. the lid is very light of course, being aluminum. The bottom/cooking pan part is steel so its not lightweight--its also not near as heavy as cast iron. I have carpal tunnel and use it quite easily but it is something I need to draw close to my body when washing and moving off the stove. so it has some weight just not a lot. It is heavy enough to make really good surface for even cooking. I love it, we use ours, I got 2 of my kids their own for Christmas this year too and they also love it. hope that helps.

This is not a cast iron pan, so if it is just the pan, it is not too heavy: however, it does have a large capacity so the pan can be very heavy and you may need someone to remove it for you. I do like the pan and use it regularly, but my family is large, so it's a good fit.

It has a heavy bottom that fits flat on my ceramic topped stove. I love this skillet more than any other I have ever had for this price. It cooks evenly and no tipping or wobbling because the handle is heavier than the skillet. The finish on the outside stays clean and attractive without any chipping or discoloring. I recommend it to anyone.

it does have a flat bottom....flat as they come. being that i do not have a glass top stove, i can only say, that a person would "not" want to slide it from burner to burner.....but "lift" it. that part would have to be your decision. i know i love mine, and would definitely buy another.

Yes it has a flat bottom......check with Lodge if it is safe on a ceramic cooktop.

Not sure it's a really thick bottom. I'm an executive chef we use induction burners at work, but this is at my house. It's a heavy this bottom pot it's beautiful

It is very thick, sturdy and safe to use on the stove top. I bought this for my daughter and she makes her roux in this pan on the stove top. I'll borrow it this year for Thanksgiving at my house!

Flat, and there should be no problem on a ceramic cooktop. Cuisinart should take care of you promptly if you have any problems.

The bottom is flat - have no idea if it can be used on a flat top stove maybe contactCuisinart. I love this dutch oven

It's heavy weight, and flat lid. If you want to have the grill mark, flip each side I guess. Did I answer your question?

I don't know of any weight limit. I can tell you that it is a big ,heavy, well built unit that can handle anything that I would cook on my home stove top.

Yes, but I wouldn't call it heavy gauge (sorry, Robin!). it's not designed for cooking directly on a burner. I suspect things would burn on quickly. The bottom of the all-stainless pan is thin, so that it can function as a double-boiler (heat from boiling water in the base passes through the thinner bottom of the top pan to cook what's inside). All double-boilers are designed this way (thinner bottom on the top pan). The base pan, which is black and Teflon-lined, is definitely heavier and made for cooking on a stove top. The glass cover is nice for checking progress. I've had several double boilers in 60 years of cooking, and this one is the largest and the nicest. I got it for the extra capacity.

Top lid doesn't lock; it would leak if tipped. But I wouldn't trade this one for anything. I love it. Cooks beautifully. Warm setting is really warm and doesn't overcook.

I am not sure what you mean by heavy....that is hard to describe. But I do not have trouble using it with food in it. I have lifted heavier pans. Sorry, really not much help I guess.

Even without a lid, it is heavier than typical frying pans. I actually like the weight. I don't move pan while I am cooking because my range is smooth electric top.

If you can get a grip on it it's pretty easy to move. I push it around the top of my stove with a big spatula or tongs, myself to move it from burner to burner. It's a pretty hardy little item. A few of my family members have purchased one after seeing us use ours.
