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

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.

Would you want the opposite?

I thought heading the bowl will expand it slightly and increase the suction, cooling it will shrink it and reduce it.

Hot air expands and cold air contracts. You want the air in the bowl to be hot so it’s not creating negative pressure.

I did not think of that, thanks!

Its the same thing that happens with fridges and freezers. But they have become netter at equaling the pressue.

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

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

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.

Thanks! I had not factored that in
