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.

    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.

      I feel like this would cause a mild explosion. Not based on any real science, i just imagine that if it’s stuck that good there’s gonna be a more-than-satisfying pop when those finally separate, lol

      That said, i really like your solution ✨
