Try putting cold water in the small bowl (tip it if you have to).

Re: Help!!What does the cold water do?? I tried it in the small bowl and it isn't working... they are REALLY stuck.. the pour spout of the small, is stuck into the slight indent inside the large where the handle connects

It is hard to do cold in one and hot in the other since it is in there sideways...but I will keep trying.

Re: Help!!hmmmm I had it happen once and the water worked
fill sink with one temp put bowls in and fill the inside of the bowls with the other.what about padding your counter with bath towels and gently "popping" them on the towels

Re: Help!!

What does the cold water do??

The idea would be to get the glass to contract just enough for the small bowl to come loose from the larger bowl, but if it's in there sideways, it might not be easy. Try putting them in the freezer for a bit. That might have a similar effect.

Re: Help!!Hot makes glass expand and cold will make it contract...

Re: Help!!Mine did that too. I put them together in my carrying case and well, they got stuck. Nothing worked as mentioned. I had to forcefully pull them apart. Scared the daylights out of me. Also, putting both in the freezer will make both contract so it only makes the sticking worse. And Hot on Cold, even though they are tempered glass, if it is drastic enough, they can crack.
