I was totally surprised when this happened to me several weeks ago. I'd never heard of such a dilemma before. Assorted remedies were tried which didn't work.

Was successful when a small amount of water was put on top of the lid and allowed to seep into the pan below. Then the pan was tilted and one side held to the flame from our gas stove. The heat caused just enough expansion of the metal to finally allow removal of the lid.
