I just depotted five this weekend (ahhh, my first Lancome) and I used the candle method. I removed the sticker on the bottom by getting it warm a little and using a small metal nail file to pull it off. I opened the lid and used it as a handle to hold the pot over the candle, I let it burn a hold completely through the bottom plastic (there are two layers), then I took a nut driver (any blunted tool will work) and pressed gently on the inner plastic. It should be warm and a little soft since you burned through the whole bottom layer of plastic, and three of them popped right out. The two that didn't just needed a little more time above the flame, and they popped out enough for me to get the file on the side of the pan and pry them up a bit. Be careful not to burn yourself, and I did mine on the stove so I could have the fan running, burning plastic is nasty! Also, this is all at your own risk!
