I don't think this will buff out

[DanHoo]

This was headed to the trash. Any ideas about straightening it. Or just leave it as is?

Just rub it with a little canola oil and keep on cookin'.

You could pound it back out from the other side, but it's never going to look good again. I'm sure it still works just fine.

Did you get the car's license number?

Rub with cooking oil and keep cooking.

I'm with everyone else, at least try to bang it out and see what you have. As long as the dent doesn't transfer to problems with flatness of the edge or roundness, it won't affect cooking. Battle scars.

Sand bag on the “backside” and rubber mallet it’s as near as you are comfortable oil it and keep playing!

It's nothing that "Crazy Bob" and his Hammer couldn't fix. (found it free online) and it works great.

Prior to pounding it out, heat it up really first as hot metal moves easier than cold steel.

Wish I knew how to use one. But then again no use. And fingers
