Correcting skillet sag

Has anyone attempted to "correct" or fix a center sag? If you have a skillet that wobbles or spins.....I know the thought has crossed your mind. Ever try it? How'd you make out?
 
Unfortunately, not possible. Aluminum is malleable enough to often be able to correct a warped bottom, but iron is not.
 
I suspect if there was any chance of success, it would involve careful application of heat from something like a torch, and hammering. You'd need to be careful not to cause damage from overheating, not to put visible hammering marks, and not to crack it. I sure wouldn't try it on anything valuable. Maybe try to find a $1 chinese import flea market piece with a warp to experiment on :)
