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.
Heat it to make the air expand
I have no idea what I’m looking at. Wth is a ravioli bowl? A bowl made specifically for ravioli?
Bowl of ravioli, my bad
Microwave it on its side.
Cool one slightly while warming the other.
The McDLT solution
No, warm the whole thing to heat the air inside
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.
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
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 better 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.
Why would you want to cool the plate?
I’m gonna need an update when OP does the hot bowl trick, I wanna know if it worked
I pryed it open with a knife. Eventually. And wasted the ravioli.
did you melt it?
Just smash. It will be satisfying.
Like, a bowl is stuck to a plate?
Put the bowl in warm water, put ice on the plate. It’ll release within a few minutes
Drill a small hole in the bottom of the bowl to equalize the pressure.
Now that is a great idea /s
I’m so glad you used the sarcasm mark or that would have gone completely over my head.
The odd thing is I really also thought it might be a great idea because of the frustration. I was ready to destroy it.
Trepanning is the solution to many of life’s problems.
That would have worked if you hadn’t stopped me.
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.
UPDATE PLEASE. I must know the fate of the dishes.
OP responded that he microwaved bowl and plate, and that some plastic melted and fused them both.
@Theo@lemmy.world - can we get an after picture?

I don’t think I’m your guy haha. I do not have a ravioli bowl unfortunately.
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….
Plastic bowl. Squeeze it.
were you able to free the raviolis
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.
Reminds me of when I tried doing some cocktails with a boston shaker (two metal tins). It’s pretty easy to get those stuck - since metal bends it’s probably easier to get then unstuck than a ceramic bowl, but the cocktail is probably ruined after you have been trying to get the tins unstuck for a couple of minutes. Plus the potential spillage.
I don’t know if you did that, but for anybody struggling with those:
You’re supposed to put them together at an angle, so that the outer wall of the tins forms one straight line from top to bottom. Like this:
To open it you take them into one hand, hold them on the side where they form the straight line. Then take your other hand and gently smack against the part where the both tins connect with your palm
Here:
Since tin tins are hard to break (though not impossible I can tell from experience) you could also use a hard surface and more force if needed.
If they’re still stuck, let some warm water run on where they connect and try again. Although the drink might get watery if you take too much time.
Yeah, I did those. What helped me was using very little pressure when putting the tins together, barely enough to create a seal. Some guides suggest pushing them together with a smack to create a seal, which is rather counterproductive when your issue is not being able to open it quickly.
Oh yeah, if you use them often enough you’ll get a feel for how much pressure you can use, I’m comfortable with using a little smack to close them, but I used to work in a cocktail bar, so I have some experience with them.
