I had that happen to me with a Calphalon anodized pan. Take two pieces of wood (such as 2x4s, high enough to keep the handle off the surface), turn the pan upside down, suspended over the pieces of wood. Take another piece of 2x4 at least as wide as the pan and place it across the pan, and wail on the 2x4 with a hammer to pound it back into submission. Using a 2x4 across the pan will prevent you from bending it the other way. Use this on a solid surface, such as a concrete floor. I was able to remove the saggy bottom. Thank AndyM for this tip.Not totally on topic, but about the Calphalon NS pan. I bought two, one 12 and a 10 inch pan a couple years back. The 10 gets very little use, but the 12 has developed a crown in the middle that protrudes outward. It does not sit flat so having an electric cook top means I have uneven heating. anyone else seen this?
