    Hi Debbie Maybe some Dawn dishsoap. That’s how I unstuck mine . Mine were small though so it didn’t take much . Good luck 🍀

    If Dawn doesn't work, try inexpensive hair conditioner.

    Maybe WD40?

    Debbie, Betsy's idea is most likely to work the best. Just keep prying apart gently and though you feel you're not making progress, suddenly they may separate! I've done something similar successfully....about the time I was ready to give up, they released from each other! The expansion/contraction (hot/cold) does work!!

  • You can immerse the outside pot with hot water, while in the inside of the inner pot pour cold water.

    Hi Debbie, hope this helps you out.

    Immerse the outside pot in hot water then pour very cold water inside the inner pot. Cold contracts and heat expands so hopefully there will be enough room made to separate them.
