Are the bottoms of these bowls completely flat or do the sides have a slight slope (to pool food in the middle)?

no I don't think I would consider them flat, it has a circle like in the middle of the bottom, so more or less with my cat, food gets pushed inside around the edge of bottom of the bowl and I have to spread it out so it's easier for her. While on the subject, I love the holder, but bought new bowls that fit it. My cat refused to drink water out of those bowls, and it seemed it easily collected a film in the bowl in a matter of my cat drinking out of it once...I guess back wash like film maybe, anyways cat wouldn't use them, so bought better bowls. Hope this helps.

The bottom is mostly flat; however, the center is slightly raised so if anything the food pools on the outer edge

They do have a slight slope to the center and the actual bottom is level. We use them for dry food and both cats love it.

The bottom of the dishes are flat. There is not much taper towards the center. I am very pleased with it as it catches the crumbs she drops as she eats, I noticed a few just now when I went to remove the water one to check what the dish was like. Also.. I sprayed the bottom of the legs with Pam cooking spray and it keeps away the ants so I can leave the dry food out all the time.

I only use mine for dry food. So there is no pooling of food. The bottom is flat but but the sides are a slight angle. I don't think wet food would pool in the middle though.

There is a slight ridge on the exterior, but they stack just fine. I keep mine stacked in the cupboard. I do love these bowls, the quality is excellent.

The bottom of both the bowl and plate are made of a rubbery non-slip surface (the colored part on the very bottom in the item photos). This rubbery surface is slightly raised (on the order of the thickness of a few sheets of paper) at the edges relative to the middle, so the bottom isn't exactly flat.

The bottoms are smooth. I like the pans . Easy to clean . There are slight ridges inside the pans but no tidges outside. I also like the glass covers.

I took a good look just now, and the sides go straight up. Also noticed the bottom of the bowl goes up, slightly concave, or convex, depends on which side of the bowl you are looking at .

The two pairs of ridges on the lower and upper third of the bowls are raised on the outside only. The surface of the bowl on the inside where the ridges are is smooth. The very top band is offset though. So the bowl is smooth on the inside from the bottom to the top band, then it moves outward slightly. These bowls are excellent and perfect for kitchen work.

Sides are straight. Great cake pans with even cooking. So glad I bought them.

Mine are not flat. They have a bit of a dip towards the middle. And I have never had any food roll off

Mine are not completely flat, but they are more than others. I have never had any food roll off.

Flat, and flat enough that they do not tend to accumulate water in the dishwasher.

Hi, they are flat. My cat loves it, well worth the price too. I hope this helps!

The bottom is flat. There's a round slight indentation in the center and the edges are rounded where the bottom meets the sides.

The sides are rounded as a design, but the actual bottom is flat. Stability is not an issue. I love mine and it's large enough that both my husband and I can have more than one cup of coffee.

They're flat, but they have like a very small rim in the circumference. If you're asking to find out if they're stable. They are fairly stable.

They are kind of rounded. You can cut meat on it, but more towards the center. The food does tend to meet in the middle of the plate. I generally do not put more than a meat and one side on the plate and use the bowl for an additional side. Hope that is helpful.

Flat in the middle. Rounded some at the edge. NOT shaped like a bowl. I only have the luncheon size. I use for sandwiches, salads, set a bowl of soup in the middle, with crackers, etc. around it. The sets were for my step-daughter. My sister has the square as well, and hasn't said anything negative.

They have a flat bottom. I love these glasses and will buy more in different sizes. They are easily stacked on top of each other in the cabinet.
