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.
UPDATE PLEASE. I must know the fate of the dishes.
It has been 6 hours since OP created the ravioli black hole that will eventually consume our planet. I think of all the wasted years I spent worrying as oblivion heads my way.
OP pls….
No one is going to mention that OP has a bowl specifically for ravioli?
I think it’s just a bowl currently full of ravioli
No issues with either one of these options tbh
I'm confused why there is a plate involved at all.
I would guess he had the plate over the bowl, while he was microwaving it, to prevent the little sauce splatters during heating.
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.
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.
No, warm the whole thing to heat the air inside
Put the whole thing in a pot of water and start bringing it to a slow simmer. This will warm the air inside, expanding it and breaking the suction. I got my stuck blender jar open this way, taking it out as soon as the first tiny bubble escaped and quickly unscrewing it before it could cool.
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
Instructions unclear, bowl still stuck to plate, but is now covered in sexy posterior dihydrogen monoxide.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Pick which one to save and which one to sacrifice. Smash the sacrifice with a hammer to free the other, break them both and realize this is just so like you and every single thing you try to do starts with a half baked plan, then goes off the rails and ruins everything until you've nothing to do but pick up the pieces.
I'm the kind of person who reads step 1, does it, and then goes on to read step 2. I'm happy I'm not OP.
The mildlyinfuriating part is that OP hasn’t posted a resolution.
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.
The power of suction is physically limited.
Someone has never heard of Delta P.
yeah it's probably electromagnetic force holding it on there or something
It's God.
Could god microwave a ravioli bowl so hot even he couldn't pry the plate off the top?
That really sucks.
an hour of prying
After that much work you should leave is as-is on your coffee table as an art/conversation piece.
were you able to free the raviolis
Hey, if you're using the hot bowl trick, make sure you pay attention to it; if you leave it to get hot and forget, it will be even harder to unstick it because the escaping hot air inside will make a partial vacuum when it cools down.
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.
OP you monster, we need resolution.
congrats you now have an elevated plate
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.
I'm gonna need an update when OP does the hot bowl trick, I wanna know if it worked
