Two glasses that are stuck together.If you have drinking glasses that are stuck within each other, this trick will release them quickly. Fill the top glass with some ice, then dip the bottom glass in some hot water, or run hot water around it. Gently twist and they will come apart. I did this several times after going through old drinking glass sets I'd put in storage to donate.

I have a Bella Rocket blender. The hard plastic lid is stuck in the bullet hard plastic lined blender portion. I can not remove it. I tried boiling water and have tried using a small putty knife. I don't know if I can put it into the freezer as the motor portion is in the bottom.

I would try putting them in the freezer to see if they will contract enough to pull them apart.

This usually works:
If you have really hot tap water you can fill your sink about half way but if it is not really hot water then you'll need to heat water to almost boiling - but - be very careful as even a slight accident could be bad.

Take out a couple of ice cube trays so they'll be handy when you need them.
Place pots in the hot water and drop the ice cubes in the top over the stuck pan.
Have a mitten handy as you may have to hold the pots in the hot water as they may tip and pour out your ice cubes.
Also have a flat table knife handy just in case you need to give the inside pan a little nudge to help release it.
Try to leave it soak for a few minutes but this usually works quickly.

You may have to slip the edge of the table knife down the side to gently work them apart.

Hot water is one way to get the pans unstuck and so is trying to use or force the one-pan further down on one side and this can usually crack it just enough that you can get it out. I have even used very hot water and a butter knife to slide down the pan to get them out.

I have also used a small wooden hammer to tape the one die of the pan to make it go deeper inside and this will force the other side up enough that you can get a butter knife in there and get it out.

You can try putting ice in the smaller box and running very hot water over the outside of the larger box at the same time. May need several tries to have the large one expand and the small one shrink at the same time.
