Silver Spoon repair

I turned on my garbage disposal with this silver spoon in it. Is it possible to hit this with a torch and smooth it back out?

reshaping it with a peening hammer would probably be more effective. I guess you could grind and polish if you don't care about losing material.

If you get the ridges hot enough to melt the nearby metal will be hot enough to melt too and your spoon will melt.

Why not melt the whole thing down and reforge it into a new spoon?

Waste of time. It's dead Jim. Melt it down, sell the silver, buy a new one on ebay.
