"If you spot a crack, the pan's a goner. Cracks usually happen due to drastic temperature changes -- for example, if you run cold water over a hot pan."
"Even a pan that's covered in rust or black residue can be brought back to working condition, as long as it doesn't have any structural defects. All you need is oil, a hot oven, and a bit of elbow grease."
"A warped pan that wobbles on the burner may not cook food evenly, and it can be unsafe if it's tipping back and forth while you cook."
"Cleaning the pan with harsh chemicals or abrasive tools can sometimes lead to holes or pits, which can trap food and bacteria and can't be repaired."
