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.
Someone slept through physics class a few times.
Heat and/or cold would be your friend in this situation.
Personally I would just toss the whole thing in the freezer for the night, but there is a small chance that results in a broken plate in the morning.
If you have an air compressor a blast of air right against the lip of the bowl would probably also pop it off.
Other than that just run hot water over the bowl (or submerge it) and then get the plate cold while being careful to not have the hot water touch the cold plate or visa versa.
Best of luck soldier.
The plastic was fused to the glass some how. I pryed it off and salvaged the plate. Also, I already tried all of that.
Oh you melted the plate to the bowl lol. That’s kinda impressive. It does make me wonder if your bowl was not dishwasher safe to begin with. Things shouldn’t be melting/fusing in the dishwasher.
*microwave and they are “reheat only” technically
Wouldnt be the opposite? What’s keeping the plates together is vacuum. What it needs is to heat the gas inside to make it expand and reduce the vacuum
Let me walk you through my 3 different answers.
-
Shrinking the bowl and the plate at the same time might just pop the seal when left in the freezer all night. It would only take a couple Crystal forming in the right spot to break that seal.
-
Blasting air into the seal could potentially resolve the pressure difference holding the bowl to the plate or force enough air into the bowl that it actually builds positive pressure inside and that pops the bowl off as well.
-
Heating the bowl would get it to expand slightly and cooling the plate would make it shrink slightly so doing them at the same time could cause the perfect seal they have formed to shift enough that it allows the pressure to equalize/release.
It’s less about heating the gas inside the bowl to reverse the vacuum and it’s more about breaking the seal that has formed in the first place.
-
Hot air cooled, contracted, and created partial vacuum is my guess. Make it hot again and it will unstick, I bet.
I was gonna suggest just running hot tap water over it for a few minutes until the air inside expanded enough.
Or chuck it in the freezer!
And shrink the air more?
No, but the items will get slightly smaller, eventually making an air gap you geniuses.
You do this with crankshafts for example, to get the bearings off so I’m not pulling stuff out of my behind.
Yeah but those are different alloys with different thermal expansion and a significantly larger temperature differential and a friction fit, this is a vacuum issue
Seems OP sorted it out without your help so yeah …
No one is going to mention that OP has a bowl specifically for ravioli?
Well how do you cook ravioli? In your fettuccine bowl?
I think it’s just a bowl currently full of ravioli
No issues with either one of these options tbh
Cool one slightly while warming the other.
Probably sit the bowl in warm water with ice on the plate. That will increase the pressure inside and aide in the separation.
