Update: it took time. And then a quick pry with a knife. Saved the dishes. Ravioli saved too but for raccoons outside probably lol. What I learned about physics....sheesh.

Hot air cooled, contracted, and created partial vacuum is my guess. Make it hot again and it will unstick, I bet.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Or chuck it in the freezer!

Pick which one to save and which one to sacrifice. Smash the sacrifice with a hammer to free the other, break them both and realize this is just so like you and every single thing you try to do starts with a half baked plan, then goes off the rails and ruins everything until you've nothing to do but pick up the pieces.

No one is going to mention that OP has a bowl specifically for ravioli?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it’s just a bowl currently full of ravioli

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

No issues with either one of these options tbh

I also think heating everything up is the smoothest solution. But to offer an alternative, I'd use dental floss to get in between the bowl and plate. If the bowl has slightly rounded edges (I believe it will), it won't be too hard to get floss in. With the floss you'll get inevitably some air in... Which will equalise the pressure and break the vacuum.

As an inferior alternative to floss, fishing line could work for this approach as well.

Put the whole thing in a pot of water and start bringing it to a slow simmer. This will warm the air inside, expanding it and breaking the suction. I got my stuck blender jar open this way, taking it out as soon as the first tiny bubble escaped and quickly unscrewing it before it could cool.

[–] [email protected] 113 points 1 month ago (5 children)

UPDATE PLEASE. I must know the fate of the dishes.

Hey, if you're using the hot bowl trick, make sure you pay attention to it; if you leave it to get hot and forget, it will be even harder to unstick it because the escaping hot air inside will make a partial vacuum when it cools down.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Plastic bowl. Squeeze it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Can you slide the bowl across the plate far enough to allow air to flow into the bowl and "break the vacuum"?

Reminds me of when I tried doing some cocktails with a boston shaker (two metal tins). It's pretty easy to get those stuck - since metal bends it's probably easier to get then unstuck than a ceramic bowl, but the cocktail is probably ruined after you have been trying to get the tins unstuck for a couple of minutes. Plus the potential spillage.

I'm gonna need an update when OP does the hot bowl trick, I wanna know if it worked

Just smash. It will be satisfying.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Drill a small hole in the bottom of the bowl to equalize the pressure.

Trepanning is the solution to many of life's problems.

Like, a bowl is stuck to a plate?

Put the bowl in warm water, put ice on the plate. It'll release within a few minutes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

did you melt it?

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Cool one slightly while warming the other.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

No, warm the whole thing to heat the air inside

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Probably sit the bowl in warm water with ice on the plate. That will increase the pressure inside and aide in the separation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why would you want to cool the plate?

Would you want the opposite?

I thought heading the bowl will expand it slightly and increase the suction, cooling it will shrink it and reduce it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The air inside is what is causing the vacuum heat the air, expansion, less vacuum. Cool the air, shrinks, more suction.

Heating both likely the smoothest solution.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! I had not factored that in

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I could be wrong, but I really believe heating the bowl is the correct answer.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hot air expands and cold air contracts. You want the air in the bowl to be hot so it's not creating negative pressure.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I did not think of that, thanks!

Its the same thing that happens with fridges and freezers. But they have become better at equaling the pressue.

Change in temperature (T) means a change in volume and/or pressure
