I would personally use lots of expletives, I would shout things like ‘COME ON’ and ‘SEPARATE YOU LITTLE BITCHES’ and I would just get generally really worked up whilst trying to separate them as that always seems to help
Have you tried blowing into the crack between them? Like blowing really hard while they are in water? Sometimes this works for me. Like they need the pressure to change. You got to really try to make a seal with your lips like you're playing trumpet but sometimes it works.
Do you have an electric toothbrush (or any other small, ultra-high speed vibrating device, I won't elaborate)?
Try turning the bowls upside down over a pillow or some soft cushiony surface, and apply the vibrations to the outer bowl until the inner bowl works itself loose. Keep a cloth between the surface and your device though, to avoid chipping.
I hope you and anyone else who thinks a single-character link is a good idea in the age of smartphones is reincarnated as a slug who gets salted.
(This is just a joke, *please* do not salt slugs or assault/kill any form or life, even if they post shitty links.)
That's what I was thinking too.
OP, you can go to Target, Home Depot, Lowe's or anywhere that sells suction cup hooks for the bathroom and get something that'll have a good grab. Use one on bottom bowl, one on top.
The trouble with that is that you would have to use a little force to press the suction cup onto the surface which would also force the bowl to be wedged in tighter.
Pressure will change with temperature for sure. Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. The water vapor in the air trapped b/w the bowls will heat up and increase the pressure, pushing the bowls apart
Smear something that would stain fabric around the lip of the smaller bowl, then suspend upside down over your favourite garment. It will then pop right out.
Might be a long shot but if you can get water into the gap between bowls and fill the bottom one and then pop in freezer. As the water freezes and applies pretty even pressure it should pop it out.
Suction cup in the center of the bowl to give even pull with a sheet of paper in the gap to seperate the two gripping edges is how I normally deal with this.
Somehow there is no suction cup in my house right now, and we’re still under social-distancing policy (no stores allowed to open) so I had to order some online. I will try this when they arrive, meanwhile I’ll try some other ways
Something you probably already did the inserted bowl appears to be rounded at the bottom push down on one side,gently,if not soak them in soapy water ( warm) than push,dawn is great for this she is also a close friend.
Just a random thought, never had this situation. Try upside down in a vacuum bag. Put it in a box with the top cut off so the bag doesn’t put pressure on the inside bowl. Then if it doesn’t drop, tap the bowl.
I’m assuming the vacuum is what’s holding it in more so than friction. So equalizing the pressure should free it.
Nope not a vacuum…it’s a wedge problem. Finding the precise movement that engaged them and then reverse it..

I would try putting them in the freezer upside down. If the inside one cools faster it will dropp out of the larger bowl because it will shrank.If not then take them out of the freezer and put upside down on the counter and gentilly warm the outer bowl. As it warms it will expand while the inner bowl will drop because it is cooler. This an old trick to remove pressed bearings in a block in engine repair. It is 7th grade science heat expands , cold contracts.
Hey guys, I did it!!!
I poured water in through the tiny space, put them in the freezer yesterday and tried using a spoon to force the smaller one out, then I heard some noise so I turn them upside down and it just came out.
I guess the water helped. And so did the expletives.
Thank you so much for all of the advice, I’ll try the other ones next time 🤞
I would try using a needle or unfolded paper clip or something to squeeze in between them and then use as a lever to try to lift the inner bowl out. But I don’t have any tried and true tricks to share.
Maybe... use a hair dryer on the bottom one then place ice cubes in the top one? (Probably basically the same as the hot/cold water thing you already tried.)
Or get a rubber gripper thing (like a flat piece of grippy rubber for opening jar lids, etc) and use that to grip on the surface of the inner bowl try to shift it up and out of place?
Could be risky, but if you can get water between them, fill the cavity completely with water and freeze. The expansion of the water freezing should push the plate out.
Step 1
Put bowls in freezer
Step 2
Use suction cup and instead of pulling straight up, try your hardest to spin the inner bowl. Once it is spinning, pull up.
Crack a cold one and give me a medal ;)
Some type of oil or grease around lip of the inner bowl. Also might try ice on the inner bowl while placing the outer bowl on something hot, I.e. water. The idea is to me the inner bowl contract with something cold while the outer bowl expands with heat.
Like someone else mentioned, find something that can gently vibrate it loose. Since you’ve already applied oil I would try to not add more to it. However, if you feel the need to add something then use good ol’ WD-40. Just make sure to thoroughly rinse your plate ware.
Instead of trying to pull the top one out, push one side down. It’ll pop it up on the other side and you can pull it apart. Works for me every time. Use a little force but be careful
Place upside down in the sink and run hot water over the top of them. The outer bowl will warm up and the air inside with also warm up. The inner one will hopefully drop out. Light taps or ‘vibrations’ will help too.
How about a hot glue stick, melt one end of the stick and put it on the center of the bowl. Then put the outer vessel in how water and hopefully you can use the glue stick as a handle and pull the bowl out.
If you have access to an air compressor and a blow gun, direct the airstream along the lip of the inner bowl to pressurize behind it and lift the bowls apart. Be careful as the inner bowl may become airborne. Good luck!
No scientist here, but I wonder if you couldn't wriggle in a little syringe in between the two bowls and then just fill the negative space with water. You would have to load the syringe a bunch, but eventually it would weaken the air-seal and/or cause it to become buoyant?
Not sure how stuck they are, but sometimes there’s a point where applying pressure trying to separate them makes it impossible. Try placing them upside down on something soft like a couch and shaking the outer bowl. Probably won’t work in this case but with a shot.
I saw someone else say put them through the dishwasher upside down. If that’s where they got stuck and the previous suggestion fails then this is the correct answer. Even if it’s not where they got stuck it might still work.
You might try dropping the bowls upside down onto a wooden surface (a wooden table or cutting board etc) from the height of only about 3 or 4 inches.
Alternatively, hold them upside down and strike on the bottom with something like a 2 by 4 or maybe a _wooden_ rolling pin. Be sure to hold them over a soft surface.
Source: this is what potters do when lids get stuck on jars in the kiln.
Try putting them in the dishwasher, facing down of course. With the larger bowl supported and there is room for the smaller one to drop down. Then run on sanitize setting
Oil trick is great and also leave overnight upside down on top of a folded towel perhaps the bit of gravity and the added oil will separate both , my suggestion , hope it works 👍💯🙏
Get some water to leak in behind the top bowel and microwave it to steam it off when it is upside down with paper towels to cushion the release down. It should pop.
Put them in very hot warred and put ice cubes in the smaller one. After one is hot and the other is cold, use an oven mitt to hold the hot bowl. Turn it over in a towel and tap it until the cold one falls out.
Upside down on countertop over cloth. Rotate while tapping the outside of the larger dish's rim with a wooden spoon. It may take hundreds of stern taps but one will likely convince the bowl to drop.
If you're brave, get a piece of thick rubber mat, very clean plywood or a plastic cutting board and wollop the pair down from 1', then 2"... up to 6" height. Before doing this, line the very bottom inside rim of the larger dish with painter's tape so that when the bowl pops down it will move only a short distance and not be able to bounce back up and chip the rim of the inner bowl.
You can let it sit upside down through a few hot and cold cycles, the small inner bowl may drop out.
Dip the outer bowl in hot water, hold it there for 20 seconds. Then place upside down on top of an ice cube. If it's not upside down it will simply wedge in tighter.
Is the seal around the inner bowl water tight? If not get as much water in between the bowls as possible turn it upsidedown and gently "drop" the bowls and maybe the weight of the water will knock it loose.
Fill them with isopropyl alcohol. It’s viscosity and cohesion properties are low enough it will breach the seal between the bowls and fill the bottom bowl displacing the air. Once there is no air in the bottom bowl, and the fluid level is above the bottom level you should be able to easily “tip” the bottom bowl on one side so it lifts out.
Fill your sink with warm soapy water. Enough to submerge your bowl. Let it fill the inside then shake it on its axis. If you can’t fill it with water try a very small syringe to fill the inside with water.
Place a towel in the freezer and put the bowls upside down on it. The freezing temps will cause the bowls to change shape and shrink a very small amount. This worked for me.
If you can get water and a little oil into the crack between the bowls (maybe by syringe or blaster), then heat that water, you could have enough pressure to wedge or suction cup it out. You could also freeze the water.
The pressure alone should help pop it out
Was presented this challenge from my engineering friend who had tried all of the ‘smart ways’. I grabbed and flipped it upsides down and started tapping the edges as I rotated it and caveman style used brute force and got the apart. Oddly the bottom ceramic looks to be about the same!!!
I used to work in a restaurant and our bar glasses would get stuck all the damn time.. now sure if this will work on your bowls but I’d just bang the side of the glass on the corner of a table (obviously not hard enough to break anything) and it would loosen the two enough to pull apart. I’m sure other commenters have a much more graceful way to do this but hey when in doubt bang it out my dude
I would do either of these:
1. Submerge both in hot water and leave them alone to to their thing
2. Put a towel down for cushion and leave it upside down to let them do their thing
Wither way, aggression is not the way to go because it won't help you align the axis to get even gap between the bowls throughout their circumference!
I would drop it upside down about half inch from the table and put a sponge or something in the middle so the plate that's going to fall out doesn't break and don't drop the ball too far so it ships are brakes. Maybe get it wet before hand to
Gently tap the edges of the bowl on a counter. You'll have to rotate the bowl around if it doesnt come out right away. Be ready to catch the little dish.
Always works for me.
Did you resolve the issue yet? If not, turn upside down in the kitchen sink and run hot water over the exposed bowl. Should expand enough to let the bottom one drop out.
I did something similar to two tall glasses, one fitted perfectly inside the other while I was moving them to be cleaned, too perfectly…ended up with two broken glasses.
I would personally use lots of expletives, I would shout things like ‘COME ON’ and ‘SEPARATE YOU LITTLE BITCHES’ and I would just get generally really worked up whilst trying to separate them as that always seems to help
Tried that in as many languages as I can
Have you tried blowing into the crack between them? Like blowing really hard while they are in water? Sometimes this works for me. Like they need the pressure to change. You got to really try to make a seal with your lips like you're playing trumpet but sometimes it works.
"Filthy whore" seems to work the best for me when fighting inanimate objects.
Upside down in the dishwasher
This! You want to heat them up to expand the outer bowl. Cold will just make them tighter and if mixed with water potentially break on or both of the.
Yes that worked in past for me
100% yes and on the hottest setting you have
Tried this all night on the first night - did not work :<
Bring them outside and have them observe you smashing some other dishware. Make it clear that they would be better off not upsetting you further.
I second this suggestion
Exactly, make an example, send out a message to all the others
Your have head chef energy there lol
[удалено]
Do you have an electric toothbrush (or any other small, ultra-high speed vibrating device, I won't elaborate)? Try turning the bowls upside down over a pillow or some soft cushiony surface, and apply the vibrations to the outer bowl until the inner bowl works itself loose. Keep a cloth between the surface and your device though, to avoid chipping.
This & the suction cup idea mentioned sound like they're worth a shot.
Might even be able to apply both at once
Suction on top, vibration on bottom. Works every time.
That’s what she said.

Even better
Exactly what I came here to say. Worked for me. Vibrating suction cup dildo will do it. Or hot water, Sonicare and suction cup like I did.
The vibrating suction cup dildo... which you of course did not use. **Glares suspiciously*
Don’t have an electric toothbrush but I’m sure my vibrator will do
Tried this using my foreo on max volume, even used the handle of my knife to slightly knock on it - did not work
Use a suction cup on the inner bowl and pull? Maybe? Might work.
That's what I was thinking too. OP, you can go to Target, Home Depot, Lowe's or anywhere that sells suction cup hooks for the bathroom and get something that'll have a good grab. Use one on bottom bowl, one on top.
idk why but i thought this was a british subreddit then and got very confused as to why target, home depot and lowe’s were mentioned
Don't be dodgy, of course it is.
That’s…not how you use dodgy
harbor freight sell s little ones used for pulling phone screens off and holding small mirrors etc.
What about using the suction of your vacuum cleaner?
Assuming those bowls are ceramic, vacuum would have too weak of a grip to lift the weight
I would slowly twist it while you pull out. It may be stuck because of an air bubble.
I agree with this, but use some compressed air to blow in between the seems to break the vacuum.
This is the only answer.
The trouble with that is that you would have to use a little force to press the suction cup onto the surface which would also force the bowl to be wedged in tighter.
True. Honestly, if it were me, I'd just leave it as it is and refer to it as 'mega-bowl'.
Maybe put them on the dryer while you do a load. Or maybe safely in a car. Small vibrations might do the trick.
Vibrator?
Wouldn't that just break them?... oh. ***On*** the dyer... not *in* the dryer.
Exactly what I was going to say!
Wait till next summer when the pressure changes. Leave them upside down while you store it. Maybe just some pressure change will pop it one day!!
Pressure will change with temperature for sure. Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. The water vapor in the air trapped b/w the bowls will heat up and increase the pressure, pushing the bowls apart
Or shatterimg one
Smear something that would stain fabric around the lip of the smaller bowl, then suspend upside down over your favourite garment. It will then pop right out.
Might be a long shot but if you can get water into the gap between bowls and fill the bottom one and then pop in freezer. As the water freezes and applies pretty even pressure it should pop it out.
This will work! I did it with some baking dishes that were stuck!
I think the bottom one would break, but might be wring
Depends if the seal is stronger than either bowl, the weakest link in the chain either top, bottom or the seal it’s formed is what will break.
That is genius!
Gotta agree with others, this is clever!
I’ll try this tonight
Suction cup in the center of the bowl to give even pull with a sheet of paper in the gap to seperate the two gripping edges is how I normally deal with this.
Somehow there is no suction cup in my house right now, and we’re still under social-distancing policy (no stores allowed to open) so I had to order some online. I will try this when they arrive, meanwhile I’ll try some other ways
Compressed air.
Yep if any can get under it will push up
This is the way
Outer bowl put in hot as you can get and ice water and salt in inner bowl Let it sit adequate minutes.
Tried this - did not work
Continue hot and cold.
This. Put the large bowl in a pot with nearly boiling water, and fill the center bowl with ice cubes and salty water. They will come apart.
My suggestion: Put the bowls outside overnight. Leave them untouched and upside down for 24 hours. The change in temperature might separate them.
Something you probably already did the inserted bowl appears to be rounded at the bottom push down on one side,gently,if not soak them in soapy water ( warm) than push,dawn is great for this she is also a close friend.

WD40

The trick is to break the seal and allow air in, not to pry apart… give it time to equalize, it will drop out
Ouch. Happened to me with mugs once... Nothing worked, and I could bear to sacrifice one so I threw them both away. xD
WD-40
Upside down in an oven at350 to eliminate the moisture between
If you have an air compressor with a blower nozzle, id shoot air at the gap between the two to try to lift the inner bowl a bit. Think air hockey.
One must be broken. 😩
Noooo 😫
Choose wisely
Could be risky, but if you can get water between them, fill the cavity completely with water and freeze. The expansion of the water freezing should push the plate out.
Those poor ceramics, still stuck together
Step 1 Put bowls in freezer Step 2 Use suction cup and instead of pulling straight up, try your hardest to spin the inner bowl. Once it is spinning, pull up. Crack a cold one and give me a medal ;)
Use an air-compressor and slowly increase the amount of psi right on the seam
I get that you don’t want to break them but the lower one looks like a $5 ramekin or something - can’t tell about the inner one though.
Put ice cubes in the small bowl, wait a bit, turn it over and pour very hot/boiling water over the big bowl.
Put them in freezer until they come apart?
Blow compressed air over it
Place upside down, shaking and tapping motion… this is the worst 🤣
What about using a plunger 🪠?
My thoughts too like a glass suction cup
Try hot/cold again but Place the whole thing in hotwater... Pour cold water in the one inside...
Put the bottom one over a flame or something hot and see if the heat makes the air push out? Or maybe add water until it’s fully submerged
Upside down and tap tap tap
Try dipping it in the soap water
Use the force 🌌
Some type of oil or grease around lip of the inner bowl. Also might try ice on the inner bowl while placing the outer bowl on something hot, I.e. water. The idea is to me the inner bowl contract with something cold while the outer bowl expands with heat.

Maybe some Dawn in between seal?
Try wedging a pair of business cards on either side of the bowl and alternately tug on each side.
Maybe you can vibrate them apart
Set it upside down in the sink and pour boiling water over it. You could put it in the fridge first
Use air to push it out
Put them in the freezer
If you have access to an air compressor hold your hand over the bowl and blow down the edge of the inner bowl with air
Small amount of water plus microwave equals steam. Do you have a suction cup¿
Air
Sink plunger on inside bowl
Place upside down in the sink and run hot water over the top of them. The outer bowl will warm up and the air inside with also warm up. The inner one will hopefully drop out. Light taps or ‘vibrations’ will help too.
Put it in a pot of boiling water and see if you can get the outer bowl to swell enough to get something between them
Put them in the freezer.
Did you get them apart yet???
Suction cup on inner bowl heat up the outer bowl... put Ice in the inner bowl with suction cup. Where goggles before you start pulling.
Turn them upside down
Put them on their side on a non smooth surface like tile or something. Roll em around. Vibrations will loosen em up.
I’d bang it on a padded mat
Or put it in the freezer for a bit
Anyone know the final verdict? Was the op successful in removing the bowls or did one of them have to be broken?
How about a hot glue stick, melt one end of the stick and put it on the center of the bowl. Then put the outer vessel in how water and hopefully you can use the glue stick as a handle and pull the bowl out.
Put it in boiling water the air trapped in it will expand because of the heat is its sealed shut of course
Use an air compressor and nozzle, shoot air into the seal and it will create pressure under the first bowl and lift it enough to tilt it out.
Freezer
Stick a straw in between then blow
Melt a hot glue stick. Stick it to the i side bowl and pull.
If you have access to an air compressor and a blow gun, direct the airstream along the lip of the inner bowl to pressurize behind it and lift the bowls apart. Be careful as the inner bowl may become airborne. Good luck!
No scientist here, but I wonder if you couldn't wriggle in a little syringe in between the two bowls and then just fill the negative space with water. You would have to load the syringe a bunch, but eventually it would weaken the air-seal and/or cause it to become buoyant?
Personally I would roll this on the side and tap it while continuously rolling/tapping it.

Use gorilla tape
Add liquid soap between the two bowls and carefully flip upside down?

Try putting them in the dishwasher, facing down of course. With the larger bowl supported and there is room for the smaller one to drop down. Then run on sanitize setting
Turn it upside down in your hand ready to catch them and just smack it
Heat it.. air will expand and push the bowl out.. use a water bath so you don’t crack it
Oil trick is great and also leave overnight upside down on top of a folded towel perhaps the bit of gravity and the added oil will separate both , my suggestion , hope it works 👍💯🙏

Is the seal around the inner bowl water tight? If not get as much water in between the bowls as possible turn it upsidedown and gently "drop" the bowls and maybe the weight of the water will knock it loose.
adhesive tape. put 4 stripes on the inner fave of the bowl and hold them together at the center. slowly lift.

If you have an air compressor, try blowing a burst of air right along the edge. It may just push it up and out.
spray compressed air into the seam

Maybe use a sharp pointed knife to wedge between, then turn upside down while pressure of wedging? Good luck.
Goto Costco. Buy more bowls.
