My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate.

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.

Cool one slightly while warming the other.

I thought heading the bowl will expand it slightly and increase the suction, cooling it will shrink it and reduce it.
8 0 ReplyHot air expands and cold air contracts. You want the air in the bowl to be hot so it's not creating negative pressure.

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

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.

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

No, warm the whole thing to heat the air inside
