Not true with gas. Fire doesn't care if the bottom of your pan is out of flat by 1/32". Or even 1/4". What you said only applies to stoves where the heat is transferred by contact to the pan bottom - in other words, calrod. Induction and gas don't care.

So she treated you like Gods... burnt offerings.

Those of us with cast iron frying pans never have warpage problems.
Oh cast iron pans can and do warp!

They sure can if mistreated! You should have seen the warped cast iron skillets we found in my dad's house. Of course his definition of "adequately cooked" pretty much anything meant charred. If that burned bacon smell was gone by midafternoon breakfast hadn't been done to his liking. A miracle he never had a kitchen fire.

No they wouldn’t. They would just have to be misinformed about its care. Lots of those people out there.
