Help? :-/
While hand-washing a French White-type Corning Ware ceramic cooking
dish I filled it with water and now the glass cover is stuck to the
dish! To make matters worse, there is a smaller ceramic bowl inside the
corning ware dish, about a 1/3rd size of the corning ware dish. The
cover is on inside out, so there is a little stub of a handle to pull
that has not helped me at all. I've filled the sink with water, hoping
to float the cover off the dish, but that hasn't worked either What
should I do? I don't want to break the dishes or glass cover to clean
them!

A little physics here...
Mix 2 dozen ice cubes and 2 T. salt in a storage bag. Place the bag
of ice on top of the lid and put the dish/lid in a pan of very hot
water. After 10 minutes the lid should release. Do the same for the
smaller dish except put the ice inside the small dish. HTH
