So I picked this Wagner hammered Dutch oven up yesterday with a thermostat in the lid. Any suggestions on how to get it out of the lid? The whole thing spins I'm afraid if I put it in the lye that it's going to fill up with liquid and I won't be able to get it out. I Have heated it, soaked with kroil, trans fluid, PB Blaster. Can't get the two halves apart. Can't really use any pliers because it's as soft as aluminum foil. Any suggestions?
