Stuck glasses

Last week, I found two glass measuring cups that had stuck themselves together and no matter what I did I could not pull them apart.

I was ready to throw them away until I remembered ice contracts, heat expands.

I filled the inner cup with ice water and rested the outer cup inside a bowl of almost boiling water. After waiting about 5 minutes, I pulled them apart easily.

Good tip to remember
