How do you straighten a warped fry pan?

it depends on what the pan's material is. If it's cast iron, forget it. If it's aluminum or stainless steel ( depending on the thickness of the material ) you can lay the pan down on a hard surface ( like your kitchen floor ) and exert force with your heel in the raised spots. A wood meat hammer works well too, but might leave little high spots.


Is the resistance to corrosion a chemical or physical property?

It is chemical. Stainless steel is an alloy of chromium, iron, and carbon. The carbon is what makes the iron harder, as iron is a very soft, malleable metal when pure. The chromium in the steel readily goes to the surface of the iron and oxidizes, forming a layer of chromium oxide. This is a tough layer on the surface of the steel, resisting scratches. It also protects the steel from rust. when the rust-resistant surface is scratched and iron is exposed to air, the chromium goes to the surface and readily oxidizes again. This protects the steel as long as there is chromium in the steel. When the chromium is gone then the steel will no longer be stainless and it will be able to rust. This lasts for about 20-40 years for the average stainless kitchen knife.

How thick is number 4 finish 24GA Stainless steel?

24 GA Stainless Steel is 0.239" per the U.S. Standard Gage for Uncoated Hot- & Cold-Rolled Sheets. The thickness is not dependent on the material type. The number 4 refers to the surface finish. It only affects the thickness in that it removes some of the surface material. A number 4 finish is rougly equivalent to sanding with 180 grit sandpaper. Small grooves are left in the surface parallel to the length of the member.
