What if your cover is suctioned on fry pan?

1. Hot Water Soak: Place the fry pan in a sink filled with hot water. Let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the heat to loosen the suction of the cover. Use a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon to gently pry the cover loose.

2. Olive Oil or Cooking Spray: Apply a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray around the edges of the suctioned cover. This can help lubricate the surface and make it easier to remove.

3. Ice Cube Method: Place an ice cube on top of the suctioned cover. As the ice melts, it will cause the metal to contract, potentially breaking the seal of the suction.

4. Heat Expansion: If the fry pan is safe to use on a stovetop, carefully place it over low heat. The gradual expansion of the metal may cause the cover to loosen.

5. Gentle Prying: Use a thin spatula or butter knife to gently pry the cover loose. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface of the pan.

6. Tap Method: Gently tap the edges of the fry pan with a wooden spoon or spatula to create vibrations. Sometimes, these vibrations can help break the suction.

7. Suction Cup Removal Tool: If the suction is severe, consider using a suction cup removal tool (usually found in car repair kits). This tool is designed to safely remove suction cups.

Precautions:

- Avoid Direct Heat: Never directly apply heat to the suction cup itself, as this can cause damage.

- Gradual Cooling: If you use hot water or ice cube method, allow the pan and cover to cool down gradually to avoid thermal shock.

- Seek Professional Help: If you are unable to remove the suctioned cover safely, consult with a professional, such as a repair person or manufacturer representative.
