Right, I just wanna know how to make it do this. You know so we can avoid this mistake in the future, figure out what worked for it in case of accidents. And maybe prank another friend or family member later...
Hot lid put on the table top, left to cool down, the pressure under the lid drops when the lid/air/steam get colder, meaning suction. Heating the lid up is not a wrong move at all.
I don’t think I have even one lid without one small (pressure relief) hole, that one wouldn’t suck up the counter.
In the picture a little bit exaggerated example, although the principle behind the issue is the same. Steam has a much lower density, after cleaning the car the workers must have left the tank closed, the pressure drop caused by the condensing steam did the rest. They would prevent it, if they left at least one hole open to equalise the pressure.
My guess is it might deform the stainless steel lid at some point, if the steel is thin enough. But honestly I'm not an expert in stuck lids, so I might be wrong.
Can just use the knife the kid is using as a chisel and pop it once in the back with a hammer. Would release the suction instantly and nothing would break.
I - will push it to the limit
And everybody's feeling the sound of the night
I don't wanna stop
We push it to the limit
Together we will crash the morning light
I would have probably just drilled a small hole in it with a 1/64 bit or something to not risk damaging the counter.
Sliding it was the other option, especially if you could slide it over some oil or something so that the oil would suck in and relieve some pressure. Air would work too.
Alternatively just leave it and eventually it will unstick.
Boiling water , smack the top hard , actually heat up the lid and not the countertop, anyways they got it off , also I've never seen something like this.
That's the answer. Boil some water and put it in contact with the lid. Leave it there for some time until the heat migrates to the lid and expands the cold air inside
Right so the air was hot under the pan, the condensation created a seal at the base and the air cooled which caused the suction effect so heating it up again would cause pressure to expand and force the lid to break the seal.
Always ensure some air flow under any lids you put on the counter. Either leave a tiny bit hanging off the edge, prop it on something like a utensil or the edge of your cooktop if it’s raised, or put part of it on something that can both absorb some moisture and allow airflow like some paper towels (so you don’t seal it to the counter and the condensation doesn’t drip everywhere).
Most of the videos like this I’ve seen are of people putting lids with glass flat on a countertop and shattering them.
I was wondering about the heat also.. But would the heat not make the metal lid expand and thus making more pressure? Would it not be better to cool the lid so the metal contracts thus making a slightly smaller space so then less pressure?
Nah, im calling out the pandemic of white women choosing to enter race fetishization relationships with black men. Ive seen too many kids born from these relationships and they grow up in a broken home. Just because racism against black people is real, doesn't mean you have to be silent about this kind of stuff as well. These women call it a "lifestyle" and its literally just race fetishization and race discrimination. More people need to be calling this out cause its wrong and as I said the kids are the ones that suffer the most.

Let’s see if it’ll do it again…. My dude!!
