Two glasses stuck together? No need to force them and risk breakage. As a kitchen troubleshooting expert, I've used this reliable temperature-based method countless times to separate them safely and effortlessly.
Here's the simple trick:
Contents 1. Fill the top glass with cold water—the colder, the better. Add ice cubes if you have them for extra chill.
2. Place the bottom glass in a bowl of hot water (or directly in the sink under hot running water). Hotter water works faster.
3. Wait 1 minute, then gently twist and pull the glasses apart.
Success! Your glasses are unstuck. This works because the hot water causes the outer glass to expand slightly, while the cold contracts the inner one, creating enough space to separate them easily.
You can apply this proven hack to stuck bowls, jars, or any nested glassware too.
