Physics geeks, engineers, and/or cooks: Will this lid ever come off?

Asked by nikipedia (28077points) August 27th, 2011

I was making making israeli couscous tonight, and added frozen stock after toasting it for a few minutes. The stock was frozen solid, so I put a lid on the pan to help it melt faster.

A few minutes later, I tried to take the lid off to check its progress.

The lid won’t come off.

It is now cooling in the sink, but still won’t budge. Should I put it back on the stove? Throw it in the garbage? What is happening?
