saraha Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I got my calphalon pot out and it looked like this. It already didn’t sit flat on the stove (nobody knows why) and now it looks like this and everyone has no idea what happened 🙄 Edited June 22, 2021 by saraha Can’t spell 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) My pot looks like that, too! Mine isn't cephalon, and it's only damaged on one side, but yes, this is happened here too. I think it either fell out of the cabinet when it wasn't put away correctly or someone dropped it. Edited June 22, 2021 by Junie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows, it didn’t look like that last time they saw it… before this, I got it out one time and it didn’t sit flat anymore. I have no idea why that would happen either 🤷🏼♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusyMom5 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Probably not the issue, but I once had a bubble appearance on the bottom of a pot. I stupidly used it again and it blew up! There were hairline cracks where the layers of the bottom were. Water got in- let's just say steam is powerful! Sounded like a gunshot, blew the whole bottom layers apart. Never use a pot that has warped! As painful as it is, I would throw that pot away. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be my best guess, but even still... wow! I once thought I was a genius for taking my (cheap) grilled cheese pan and immediately running it under hot water to wash, cold water to rinse and cool, and putting it away right away. That pan is now dead. But it didn’t get quite THAT warped! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I had a very cheap pot do that once. I took it from the stove to the sink and poured cold water in to cool down boiled eggs. I’ve never seen a decent brand do that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraha Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 I don’t know if water did it, I’m leaning toward the dropped theory that @Juniehad as that seems more likely to happen while putting things away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Calphalon - the heavy kind - is known to warp if you run cold water in it while it’s still hot. Not that that stopped me, or anything. 🤣 One of my mothers did not approve, but hey, I don’t iron the sheets either. I did continue to use our warped bottom calphalon, though now I’m thinking that was a bad idea! Note to self: listen to your mothers! Could someone have dropped the pot while it was hot?
