I dropped an aluminium pan on the floor the other day. Despite being made of
3 or 4mm thick alloy, it's now got a flatspot on the rim (The rims' not
flanged like a normal pan, which why it probably bent so easily). It's also
teflon coated, so getting really abusive with it isn't going to work well.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to straigten it out so I can get the lid on
it again? Other than dent the lid to fit .

==================================
Cut a piece of 4" x 1"(or to suit)wood to the correct inner profile of the
pan. Place the profiled piece of wood inside the rim and use a large
G-clamp to pull the rim into shape against the wooden profile. Protect the
outer rim from damage by the G-clamp with a small wood offcut. I think
you'll need all three hands to do this.
