Flattening frying pan base

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fa49733d388>

Hey all, I have a couple of pans that are quite severely warped and as such are a pain to use on an induction hob (using them on gas was fine - but maybe caused this?)

Any tips on how I could safely flatten these?

Flip it upside down on a chopping board, with the handle sticking over the side and then stand on it?

I managed to flatten something similar once just pressing with my hands. Depends how flimsy the base is.

Hmm the base is quite thicker (thicker than most frying pans I’ve ever owned), but I’ll give it a go with one…

In all honesty I bet the best method will be hammering the shit out of it

Yep, wooden mallet or rubber hammer using a bag of sand (preferably damp) as support
