This plastic plate is stuck in my pot. I’ve tried prying it out with a thin blade, and tried hot soapy water. Any ideas?

    Cover the plate with ice and place the pot in hot water? Then maybe the plate will shrink from the cold in addition to the pot expanding from the heat

    Put it on stove . Air/water below the plate has contracted.

    This, you need to relax the pot but shrink the plate.

    Just a guess…. Grease the sides of the pan with cooking spray. Leave it upside down (on a thick towel so plate doesn’t break if it falls out)

    Turn upside down run hot water on the pan,

    Place a bath towel on the counter top, place pot on it upside down and gently tap the heel of a boot on the bottom of the pan

    Can you submerge it in water? Might lift it right out

    Use destructive methods on the plate. You’ll be doing yourself favors. Do you live in a beach Airbnb?

    Shouldn’t you freeze it rather than heat it? It would shrink.

  10. Turn it upside down and run hot water over it until the plate drops out. Push gently on the bottom of the big bowl to flex the plate away from it

    Turn it upside down and hold something that vibrates furiously up against the bottom of the pot, like one of those cordless oscillating multitools.

    Use a plunger just after unclogging the toilet on the plate, the toilet water on the plunger will help with the suction 👍
