How to remove a glass from another glass: simple methods

Why did this happen and how to quickly remove the glass from the glass if it is stuck? Don't rush to pull and yank glasses, but first learn these simple techniques.

Why did they stick together?

It is convenient to store glasses from one set in a stack inside each other. But such saving of space often leads to troubles, including cracks and breakages. Glasses, especially glass ones, can stick together so tightly after washing that they cannot be removed by hand.

Why is this happening? When we stack wet glasses in a pyramid, a zone of low pressure forms between them during the drying process. This problem also occurs with dry glasses: the top one slowly goes down, the air is squeezed out - creating the effect of a vacuum suction cup.

To prevent glasses from sticking together, store them separately. An acceptable option is when the outer glass is noticeably wider than the inner one, but in any case, the dishes should be sent for storage clean and absolutely dry.

How to get it: tricks

If the objects do stick together, act slowly and very carefully, since in the process of removing the glasses from each other, the pressure between them decreases even more. You cannot hit the bottom of the outer glass or pull the neck of the inner one.

Let's turn to the laws of physics. When exposed to heat, the material expands; when exposed to cold, it contracts. These properties are easy to use to save shot glasses. What to do:

  1. Prepare a small saucepan.
  2. Pour water into it and heat it up a little.
  3. Also prepare ice water (you can take cubes from the freezer).
  4. Fill the inner glass with cold water.
  5. Place the mugs in warm water.
  6. The outer glass will begin to expand little by little. Try to get the second one by carefully unscrewing it. Don't pull - it will burst due to sudden movements.

Do not use sudden temperature changes on thin glass - it will crack.

Water can be used in other ways. Place the sticky glasses completely into the pan. After a couple of minutes, water will penetrate the gap between the walls. This will make it easier to remove one glass from another. Or hold the sticky mugs under running water.

To improve glide, try pouring a little vegetable oil, liquid soap or dishwashing gel between the walls of the mugs. Substances will reduce friction. Remove the glass carefully, twisting it, not pulling.

From now on, do not stack expensive tableware, so as not to waste time separating the glasses or, even worse, end up with fragments. Give preference to mental strength rather than physical strength, do not jerk glasses, but act according to logic.

    In a small kitchen there is not enough space to arrange glasses, so you have to stack them on top of each other. And if you haven’t used them for a long time, it can be difficult to pull a glass out of another one. A couple of glasses even broke when they were pulling them out. I tried putting the stuck glasses in a pan of water. After a few minutes they disconnected on their own.
