I know the sort you mean - those are tricky to flatten without introducing small ripple in the playing area. Lip curl? Potato chip? I think of Pringles....
Intuitively you would start with the lip sticking up and use the top platten to force the lip down. I prefer to start in reverse. You can certainly start that way, keep the heating phase within 4 hours or so. Then flip the record over for a second cycle - that should be enough to flatten it out almost perfectly. If the disc overheats (as some of mine did), the disc appears to have deformed such that where the lip was the cartridge jerks outwards at that point and you will hear a background "hash". Hence why I suggest being more conservative with time and doing several goes rather than one intense cycle which risks heat damage.
