  1. So I actually did this and it works well, although I found that it's takes about 10 minutes of pounding to really flatten out the pan. Basically keep at it until the aluminum cools down. Also I hit the pan much harder than was demonstrated an also flipped it over a few times and pounded for the inside as well.

  2. also, if you can do it, cut a slot in the corner of two of the walls. This will allow expansion and reduce warping. (does mean you will not be able to use it for fluids though). This is the same principle as gaps in railway tracks. the space allows for expansion without buckling. 🙂

  3. Staining is usually seasoning and is not harmful, and actually helps things cook and helps stop them sticking. A lot of people make the mistake of scouring pans down to bare metal. Pretty, but bare metal doesn't cook most things nearly as well.
