Comment on My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate.

The pressure acts over the area of contact. For a perfect vacuum it would lead to ~1kN of force. This is the same order of magnitude our muscles produce. If you take into account that the vacuum results from cooling over such a small temperature interval the force can’t be too high.

1kN is equivalent to lifting 100kg… 220lb for our imperial friends… I don’t think I could put that much force on a plate and bowl I was trying not to break

Your grip on a smooth plastic surface nearly parallel to the force vector you wish to apply is tiny, you cannot exert 1kN in this situation.
