Does the pan tip over as indicated in some the reviews? I have a gas stove.

While it is a bit more stable when full than when empty, it is very 'tippy' when empty/near empty and not all that solid when full. I also find the disc at the bottom too small so sauces can easily burn when the sides get too hot. Wouldn't recommend it.

I have a GE Profile gas cook top. The small base on this pan was not large enough to support the pot in an upright position. The handle was heavy enough to pull the pot over. I was afraid to use it because I usually use such a pot for melting butter. I gifted it to my daughter who has an electric range and she is happy with it.

yes, if it doesn't have anything or much in it the pan will tip over. It is possible to precisely place it on the grate (I have a gas stove also) so it doesn't tip when using for small quantities (milk or butter for example) but, generally you should plan to have enough volume in the pan to keep it weighted or plan to hang on to it for small volumes (or in a pinch, I cram something like a knife block under the handle to keep it from tipping.) If I had a do over, I would not buy this pan for the tipping problem and not being able to pour with the spout easily with the left hand.

My stove is a gas one - so my answer would be moreof a supposition--there is ever so slightridging on the bottom-yet the bottom is virtually flat--andit's the best griddle we have ever owned. We use it formaking pancakes and french toast and it's a dream!

I have a glass flattop stove and have used my pan/pot on it without any problems.

I cook on a gas stove and the long handle does not. The short handle does if it is near the heat source. It's my favorite pan. I use it on a daily basis.

No, but it stays in place. At one point I had it placed in the back of my cabinet, and if I pulled let's say the cutting board too hard, it may tip over. But the product is pretty sturdy and assists with organizing for a good price.

Yes, there is about 4" in diameter flat bottom. I have a gas stove and it works well and doesn't tip over on the racks.

My gas range has cast-iron grates and it doesn't slide easy at all, contrary to my old stainless steel pots and pans that slide freely across the grates and need to grab the handle for stirring, the back of the pan has a slightly rough surface that helps increase the friction. I haven't stirred a lot in the pan's but at least the pots don't slide at all while stirring for a while.

No, this pan becomes uneven when heat is turned on. I was very disappointed with this product and would not recommend buying it.

The lid is vented nicely and does a great job it's dish washer safe but it washes out perfectly by hand using mild soap rinsing it very well I always hand dry the pan there no need to put it into a dishwasher that's pure laziness in my opinion My stove is electric and it works just fine the pan doesn't slip and is heavy enough and stays onto the burner perfectly.I assume it would do well on a gas stove but I would watch it on med-high heat until I know how it's affected by the temperature.be sure it's cooled down before you wash it to prevent buckling. I hope this helps.

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 raised so your cookware cannot hang over the edge. We really haven't had any problems with this and we use large stockpots. If you use a large pot on one of the smaller cook surface you may have to set it off center a little which isn't an issue.

Yes, it does tip over when loaded especially if the weight is towards the front rather than towards the back. Mine does tip over. The bottom is very sturdy. Though, if you overload your backpack, the exposed bottom portion of the middle section can wear out if rubbed against the ground because it isn't protected.

I use mine on gas burners and it sits flat. The pan has a nice wide flat bottom. Burner grates can sometimes warp slightly after years of use and cause a slight tilt. And stoves can become tilted as well as they settle. So check they are level if all the pans seem to tilt.

I have not found that to be the case at all. Very nice mug that won't tip over!

It doesn't tip over too easily, though it could when it's not mounted. Yes it stands up when it is empty and the lid is open. I don't have it mounted and it works well. You just have to note that it can tip over that way and take a little extra care.

My guess based on my own experince is that if it would stay flat when it gets hot then it would. The problem I had was that when heated it warps causing the pan to become unstable.
