What can deform/bend a stainless steel skillet? [duplicate] - Person Holding Stainless Steel Casserole

One month ago I bought a set of stainless steel cookware from Cuisinart. Today I noticed that the smallest pan is not flat - the base has bended so that the center is a little lower than the edgees.

That made me wonder what could have caused it? I was quite watchful to wash it only after it cools down a bit (though I'm not sure how my girlfriend was). Can overheating cause that too? Or heating without oil? (my girlfriend uses it to toast toasted bread)

Why does stainless steel warp?

Stainless steel frying pans will typically warp when they're heated too quickly or come into contact with a cold surface while hot. To prevent this from happening to your pan, bring it up to heat gradually and wait for it to cool down before handling it.

How do you fix warped stainless steel?

If you've ever been frying eggs or cooking pancakes and noticed that they tend to run toward one edge of the pan, cooking unevenly, chances are you have a warped pan.
