Never mind, I got it!! I finally got the courage to put the pan on the stove and reheat it. I was afraid it would explode sending greasy food everywhere, but it just released very nicely and I have my pan back.

I hope you took pictures :-)

Well, no I didn't. It did not blow up so pictures would not have been very exciting.

Okay, socks, maybe next time :-)

So Woodie, you want my disaster to be your entertainment, huh? LOL.... My mother always tells of how her pressure cooker blew up and plastered split peas all over the ceiling, so I've tried to learn something from that story. (No, she didn't take a picture!!)
