Is it made in the USA

Yes, they are made overseas, not in the USA. I've had my pan for 7 years now...and it's used weekly, and more often in the winter months. I was a bit disappointed when it came and I realized it wasn't made in the USA but decided to give it a chance. After 7 years of hard use I can honestly say it's the best pot I have ever owned! It's discolored a bit, not surprising with the amount of use it gets and all the soups stews and roasts I make in it throughout each year. But that hasn't affected the pot at all. It is just a good as it was when I first bought it. I'm going to try the 1 cup baking soda and 4 cups water trick (boil 5 min let sit with the lid on for 2 hours) that I read about in one of the other questions to see if it will return to it's original beige coloring, but even if it doesn't, it's still going to be my "go to" pot for everything I can use a dutch oven for :-) I highly recommend this pot, even though it's not made in the USA!

Flat bottom suitable for glass top range?????

It's too heavy and will scratch it. It's a shame that glass top ranges even exist. They don't conduct heat well, hold on to heat far too long after it is turned off, and of course, you need perfectly flat cookware which is usually the crappy teflon stuff rather than cast iron and stainless. The only advantage of them is that they are really easy to clean.

One person mentioned that you shouldn't heat when empty, but I want to bake bread, and it needs to be hot first. Will this damage it?

Apparently artisan bread bakers are heating it empty without problem, but Lodge says fill it halfway with water, preheat, then dump the water out before baking - I don't know it that works for all, but it gets it to 212F (100C) and if you need a higher temp, perhaps do that first then dump the water out to minimize the time it's been empty before it reaches your temp.Google/search "lodge dutch oven bake bread" and look for the link to "Baking Bread in a Dutch Oven" at the artisanbreadinfive site. The points I mention above are in the comments.

The interior of the pot is ceramic. It's not possible to season it. Seasoning is only for cast iron that is not covered with ceramic. The only thing you must pay attention to is: wash it well. And don't chip it --- which is not easily done. OK?
