Help! I have a white....china? earthenware? (....anyway it's white and came
from Safeway) straight-sided casserole dish. It's become wedged in the glass
bowl from my newly-acquired, but already non-functional mixer.

The casserole dish has slipped slightly, so that it's at a very slight angle
and, try as we might, we can't extricate it. We've tried putting the miser
bowl in hot water and filling the casserole dish with very cold water. That'
didn't work. I tried pushing a very thin bladed knife down between the two
bowls. It took ages even to find a place where I could get it between them,
and even then it didn't work. I also tried squirting dishwasher soap along
the rims, in the hope that some might filter through the gap and provide
lubrication, but that didn't work either.

Is there one of those clever trick methods for separating jammed breakables?
In the same vein as the one for getting rings off fingers? Or can anyone
think of another way of separating them, please, short of taking a hammer to
one of the two? All suggestions would be most gratefully received!

I know this is for glasses, but you might give it a try...
