This is foolproof technique.
1) Immerse the stuck vessels in water by adding weight into vessel, anything heavy.
2) After water goes into the lower vessel, heat it on a flame, dry heating.
3) The water in the lower vessel evaporates. The steam pushes the upper vessel.
4) The vessels are thus separated effortlessly without causing any damage to the dishes.
