What is the diameter of the top of the pot when the lid is off? Also, does the pot have a perfectly flat bottom suitable for use on a glass top stove

How HIGH is this pot from bottom to top rim (w/o lid)? Also, how WIDE? The info is contradictory! Thanks.

The bottom is flat & smooth and I use it on my stove that has a glass top :-)

I do not believe that this pot is recommended for a glass top stove. However, it does have a smooth bottom and I have used mine several times on a glass top stove without any problems.

The flat bottom is not as flat as glass, but is usable. Looking from inside, the edge of the bottom has a ring that is slightly deeper than the center of the bottom. My stove is glass top. The only thing to deal is the maintained of the pan from rust.

Yes the bottom is flat and will sit on a glass top stove. Has a small staright elevation however will still stay flat in glass

i'm using it on an electrolux flat top stove top. i think it's glass. the only thing i had to do (during first use), was to actuate the stopper a few times. it didn't rise up even though there was adequate steam and heat. after "unsticking", it has worked perfectly every time.

The bottom is flat. We have a flat ceramic stove top and haven't had any issues. This is a great pan.

There is a flat piece of heavier material affixed to the bottom that sits on the burner and is a little over 6-3/4 inches across. And the actual bottom if the flat piece weren't there is almost exactly 7 inches across. The top is 10 inches from edge of rim to edge of rim. The flat piece looks just a few mm's thick; it appears it's purpose is twofold: to balance the pan snugly on the burner and to assure even distribution of heat.

This pot is great for cooking soups and pasta..it's about 6 inches from top to bottom..it tapers from bottom to top..so it about 6 inches in diameter at the bottom, but gradually tapers out to about 11 inches at the top..hope this helps you out..:)

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.

I broke out the trusty tape measure- it's 12 1/2" accross the top. lip to lip. The actual flat cooking area is about 10 1/2", with gental sloping sides. Comes with glass lid, I'm very happy with it.Ed T

This is a round pot. The height measurement is about 4 1/2 ". The handle on the lid is about 1 3/4" high above the lid. It is a great pot.

Joyce, mine is on the top shelf and I can't get it down to measure, but the inside diameter is 12 5/8ths. The handles stick out about an inch and a half on both sides. And unfortunately, All American does NOT recommend using it on a glass top range as it can cause it to break...Bummer, because it is a fantastic cooker..

yes the bottom is flat but I don't know if I would use it on a glass top stove...I guess it depends on how long you will have it on the stoe...when I do mine on the coil top I can have it running for up to 4 hours depending on what I am juicing. I know that some glass top stoves say not to use canners so I would be leary about using the amazon

We don't have the answer to that question. Suggest you check with the manufacturer. Have never used on a glass top stove. Good Luck.
