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.

That really sucks.

[–] LimpRimble 8 points 8 hours ago

an hour of prying

After that much work you should leave is as-is on your coffee table as an art/conversation piece.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Let me walk you through my 3 different answers.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

[–] GreyEyedGhost 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

But heating the gas inside would also work because, no matter how perfect the seal is, it won't matter if there is no vacuum to hold the two pieces together.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

This is the answer. Leave a hair dryer blowing at the thing for 5 or 10 minutes. It will heat the bowl, and also heat the air inside, which will expand.

Amazing. Thanks!

By "ravioli bowl," do you mean it currently has ravioli in it? If so, put it in the microwave for increments of like 30 seconds.

Hot ass water

Edit: Clarification: Poor hot ass water on it or dunk it in hot ass water

Edit 2, electric boogaloo: This is dependent on the material, according to my mother

[–] [email protected] 33 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Can I use regulat hot water if I don't have access to the ass water?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Ass water can easily made yourself. No need to get expensive store bought ass water

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No, it must be from the ass.

Nope. It has to come straight from the starfish

Instructions unclear, bowl still stuck to plate, but is now covered in sexy posterior dihydrogen monoxide.

[–] tooclose104 5 points 14 hours ago

My water is too bougie and I can't morally exploit it into poverty... Elevated plate it is.

congrats you now have an elevated plate

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

Microwave it on its side.

[–] hperrin 97 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 21 hours ago

I was gonna suggest just running hot tap water over it for a few minutes until the air inside expanded enough.

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Well how do you cook ravioli? In your fettuccine bowl?

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

OP you monster, we need resolution.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Assuming its empty, i would take the grog oggah boogah solution of smash the blue plastic bowl down the edge of your countertop. Something will give sometime.

Otherwise, did you try twisting the bowl one direction and the plate the other? Torque is typically a more effective force than pulling for friction.

[–] [email protected] 106 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

The mildlyinfuriating part is that OP hasn’t posted a resolution.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 23 hours ago (14 children)

The power of suction is physically limited. That means it either isn't suction or op is crazy weak. My guess is that the plastic melted (probably not from boiling Temp) or op is strongly exaggerating.

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

it's a bowl, it's like trying to pick up a gold bar, how are you meant to get ANY leverage on it without using a knife or something?

Air pressure is insanely high compared to a vacuum
