An aluminium saucepan was dropped on the kitchen floor and now the lid will
not fit on, due to a fairly small flattening of one side.

The saucepan is 16cm in diameter and the aluminium is 3 mm thick. My thumbs
are just not strong enought to push the side out enough for the lid to fit
on.

Cannot think of a way to get a good leverage on it to re-shape it, without
damaging the non stick coating on the inside of the saucepan. Grateful for
any suggestion. Thanks.


Might work to just grind off some of the edge of the cover. Can't take
much.
