This one was weird. Two bowls, nested in the dishpan. Different brands. The
outer one had a ridge around it, just down from where the lid would rest.
The Pyrex one was stuck inside. I think the bowls were the same size but
slightly different shapes. The Pyrex one has a flat lip at the top. I could
not get it out, because I couldn't grab a hold of the lip.

I moved both bowls out of the dishpan to the empty sink next to it. All I
did was attempt to tip them sideways until the inside bowl slid out. Did not
get that far! The outer bowl shattered, mostly into square little pieces the
size of fish tank gravel. A few pieces were slightly bigger. Despite my best
efforts, about a cup of glass went down the sink.

The glass was surprisingly thick so of course bunged up the disposal yet
again. But this time, he was home and helped me with it. His hands are
stronger and he was able to use the tool more easily than me.

I'm starting to get frightened of glass bowls. They shouldn't break this
easily!

You ground up a cup of glass in your disposal? My guess is that your trap is filled with glass. The trap should be removed and cleared of glass. Oddly enough, it's fairly easy to remove the disposal so next time you might want to take it off and empty as much glass as you can before powering through glass. My way is kind of boring and tedious. Your way is a lot more radical and fun!

My drinking glasses are very thin. If you look up how to get broken glass
out of a disposal, it will tell you to remove as much as possible and grind
the rest down. You can't do this with the thick stuff though. The problem is
that bits get stuck in the blades. The only way to free them is to loosen
them from underneath then turn the disposal to loosen the blades.You can
then try to pick out pieces and you'll likely have to repeat the process but
at least a little glass will get down.

You ground up a cup of glass in your disposal? My guess is that your trap is
filled with glass. The trap should be removed and cleared of glass. Oddly

A cup is what I picked out of there. I think only a few bits went down. I
would have no clue how to take off the disposal.

It is a specialty tool that the French call "wrenchette." The Americans like to call it a "thingamabob for the disposal." Most people won't know what the tool is for. Most people would use a different kind of wrenchette, called a "broomstick."

And then I fished it out with tongs. Did you really think I would try to put

The broomstick only works with certain kinds.

I think I discovered the cause of the bowl breaking.

As I was headed into my bedroom for the night, I heard a weird noise. I went
into the kitchen and saw the burner on. He put something in the deep sauté
pan, put a glass mixing bowl over it and a lid over that.

When I told him he couldn't do that, he reasoned that it was Pyrex. That
dish actually was. The one that broke was a cheap, off brand. At any rate, I
think the only glass that can be used over direct heat is a special type.

It's a somewhat specialized Allen wrench.

If you will look up directions for what to in this situation, it will say to
use tongs or a shop vac. I tried using my hand the last time. I got many
cuts and my hand got stuck. No bueno.

If you had the IQ of a Duncan Yo-Yo you'd have filled the inner bowl
with ice cubes, it would contract and loosen... and then use the ice
for a Crystal Palace Ukelele Punch. Hopefully your experience taught
you to never nest similarly configured glassware

Or if she does to put a paper towel between each bowl. But next we'll hear

I'd use paper coffee filters... even TP would work.

I've got narrow but sorta tall soup/oatmeal type bowls and those do get a
coffee filter between each to make them easier to pull apart. She could
even go to a fabric store and buy some thin felt and cut some circles to
use between her bowls. I've seen in catalogs some 'pan' separators that
work great. These are available on Amazon and the pictures show them
being used for bowls, plates, and pans.

Using glass to cook stuff is pretty scary. That's so unnatural!

She'd have to order it. Felt is not available in Bothell.

Apparently nobody taught him how to cook. Any attempts I've made have mostly
fallen on deaf ears.
