Cake pans stuck together

Patsy
by Patsy
I have two sets of 4 (@) small heart shaped cake pans that are stuck together.
I have never used them and when I went to I could not get them apart. It looks
like there may be rust showing above the bottom pans. I tried to dribble some olive oil into them, let them sit for a while then tried to get them apart.
Didn't budge. Suggestions please?

Would have inclluded a picture but I can't figure out where my pictures go when
they go on my computer. It used to ask me where I want to put it but now it
doesn't.

Also, I want to change my email address from albe@midco.net to
pepe6@midco.net. I could find no place to send thisin.

  • Ice in the inside pan, let it get cold (I freeze it). Once good and frozen, set the bottom in a pan with boiling water.

    Or place the pans in a 300* oven for a few minutes. Then run cold or ice water over them while using a flat knife to separate the pans. ☺️

    I know this works for glasses and dishes- put cold water in the interior one and then place the outer one in hot and it should give you enough clearance to force apart. I use something of wood that can force apart the items. Good luck.

    I just hd two glass bowls that stuck together..could not get them apart. I set boiling water in the top one and let it sit..they came apart easily after the water just started to cool. Heat expands..cold contracts.

    you could try either dribbling "clr" around the joint - or in extreme cases, try wd-40.

    dribble/spray around the joint, then gently work your way around the perimeter pulling the seams apart.

    Throw them in the freezer and loosen each one at room temperature, returning to freezer A little wiggle, ice, heat, loosen is the word
