One review said the pan has "feet." I want to use it as a humidifier to sit tight on top of my wood stove. Does the bottom sit flush on a surface?

It does have 4 little 'feet' about 1/4 inch tall, like little buttons. I suppose you could grind them off.

It has small "nubs" on the bottom in each corner that are maybe 1/4 inch high and about the size of a nickle in circumference. So, no, the pan wouldn't actually sit absolutely flush on the stove.

It does not have feet - the bottom is perfectly smooth like any other baking pan.

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

No, it will stick horribly on the bottom and it will be impossible to clean. I had to return this product because of that. But the good news is that the next one works perfect boiling milk: Kuhn Rikon 4th Burner Multi-pot - Blue

Have used only on propane camp stove but they do have a very flat surface bottom.

I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool. Then warps more as it is heated. I didn't find that to be a big problem however on my glass top stove. BTW, here is a trick. Most of my pots are flat bottomed and I do have a ceramic cooktop. I have some copper bottom pots that are not flat on the bottom which do not work well, but use a trick to get them to work faster. If you wet the bottom of the pan before you put it on the stove the water will turn to steam and efficently transfer heat from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the pan. The steam condenses on the bottom of the pan and then drips back to the cooktop surface to boil away again. I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool.

My pan sits perfectly on my ceramic stove top, in fact, it sits in place better than other pans I have that tend to easily slide on the surface. I really like this pan even though it is more shallow than I though when I purchased it. It has worked out well and I recommend it.

The bottom is completely flat. I have a glass top stove too. BE AWARE all porcelain bottomed cookware will bond to a glass cooktop if you use a high heat setting. It is reccomened that you use only a MEDIUM HEAT setting to prevent this. When I use my kettle I place it on a trivet to cool off and empty the water out. I love this pot, it takes a tad longer to get to boiling but it is worth it. * the whistle is very pleasant and not ear spitting so stay in close range while you wait for it to sing to you

It does have a heavy bottom. The sides are neither thick nor thin, just standard sturdy for a cookpot.

Yes it sits with stability as shown in pic. Very handy product to keep back area of stove clean and less area to clean

I can't see were there would be any problem with is sitting flat on a flat surface. I've only used mine for roasting and am very careful not to introduce cold water into a hot pan to avoid having the pan warp. If you follow the Mfg. instructions on maximum temps and cleaning you should not have a problem. It's a well made pan, cooks evenly and cleans up easily with warm soapy water.

Yes there are suctions on the feet -- i use mine on a wood countertop and also normal counter. Sticks just fine. I don't put mine in the dishwasher so I'm not sure if its safe. Washing it is a breeze though. And then I air dry on the counter.

The bottom is flat ,but there is a half inch indentation around the edge . I use it on a glass top stove and have no problems.

Yes, the bottom is perfectly flat. It works well on my ceramic stovetop and I haven't had any issues with my tea kettle. We love it.

The bottom is not totally flat. It has a flat inner circle, then an indented section, and then the edge. I don't know why it wouldn't work on a ceramic stove. I say, "give it a try, you can always return it if it's not right."

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.

The one I have is not a solid bottom. It works well on my gas stove, but I think it would not work as well on an electric or induction cooktop.

bottom is flat, these are very thin pans best for boiling things that will not stick
