I'd expect that applying enough heat to soften cast iron enough to bend it is going to seriously change the nature of that cast iron. May as well try the hammer... a big hammer.yes. I would try heat from a torch and a press if anything. (never tried it, and wouldn't try on a pan I cared about at first)
I saw this and laughed but then I wondered. "It sits about 95% flat, there is a little wobble in the middle. A small hit will a hammer should get it back like a pancake."
Isn't CI a little brittle for that?

I have a Wapak Indian Head skillet that the handle stuck up so much it was uncomfortable to use. I took a hammer and beat on it until the handle was in a much more usable position. I was surprised how much force it took. This was many years ago, when I first started using cast iron. I would never do that on something today.

You did that on an INDIAN HEAD WAPAK??? Ok, you were young and foolish back then. I am SO glad it worked out.
Yes, she just needs to use the other side.:icon_rofl:Do you think you could pound out the warp in a Wrought Iron Range skillet?
