Is it smooth inside the pot and can I use it for boiling water?

It is smooth inside glazed too. Not the easiest or quickest pot for boiling water though. Good Chinese herb cooker.

(1) The pot is smooth inside. (2) I never try to use it to boil water. But, I believe that it will be "OK" if you are keep watching the water level while you heating/cooking the water, and unplug the power (manually) when it's boiled. Otherwise, the whole pot of water will keep evaporate until one-rice-bowl of hot water left inside the pot; then, it will switch to warm mode automatically.

Definitely good for boiling water. The problem is the handle, it gets loose in time. Try to avoid putting it in the dishwasher - handle screw may last longer.

While the pot could handle the heat, you'd ruin it by using it as a humidifier in this manner. Unless you used distilled water. The scale build up inside would be rapid if used to produce vapor. Depending on the harshness of the water, within weeks you'd have a layer of scale that would be difficult to remove. Better to not boil water in this pot. This pot is intended to hold hot water for steeping tea. As it is cast iron, it retains heat very well, and keeps the steeping/steeped tea warm for a long time.

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.

This a large cup for boiling water very quickly not a pot for cooking in. It does boil water faster than any other stove I have owned. The cup is titanium

Yes, the bottom is completely smooth. I also have a glass electric cooktop and use this teakettle on it all the time.

It is smooth. Very similar in texture to the Lodge Cast Iron Skillets. I should also note that unlike regular cast iron pans this carbon steel skillet can be used on a glass cooktop stove as well. Hope this helps.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that. The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

It is smooth. BUT, questions like this about electric ranges should be directed to Cuisinart.IT IS A GREAT PAN. I LOVE IT. !!! SMALL FLAME THOU8GH.

It is my favorite pot and it has a very smooth surface. In fact the only downside is that it is a bit slippery on my gas stove, but should be fine with glass surface. You won't regret getting this pot. Nothing sticks perfect for soup and beef stew and really easy to clean.

Technically the interior is 98% stainless steel but there is a little plastic piece about the size of a button at the base on the inside that allows the water to flow into a chamber by the handle that tells you how much water you've put in the pot. So even though it is stainless steel the water you are boiling does come into contact with a little bit of plastic. I do like this kettle but I think it is a lesser of evils compared to what is out there because it only lasted 6 months before the heating mechanism stopped working and the fact that it isn't 100% stainless. That being said, unless I wanted to fork out 4 times the money I would by this one again.

I've used very warm water and it is fine. It is medium to heavy vinyl so it could probably handle pretty hot water. Don't know about boiling water.

good question - never even tried! All you really need to do is get a good pot cleaning (like coffee cleaning agents) stuff, and boil 4 times and it will be squeaky clean on the inside

Not sure what kind of cooking you want to know about? But have used it for boiling water and just food. As long as you can adjust the heat it works great. Doesn't take as long as a regular pot.

Yes, the bottom is smooth. It's stainless steel; accordingly, I think it would be attracted to a magnet. Hope this helps. Personally, I'm very pleased with this kettle.

No. The inside of pot is smooth. My husband makes soup in it - cleans up well. He loves it. It works on our induction range. Very happy with pot.
