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

You’re supposed to put them together at an angle, so that the outer wall of the tins forms one straight line from top to bottom. Like this:
Tin tin shaker fixed at an angle
To open it you take them into one hand, hold them on the side where they form the straight line. Then take your other hand and gently smack against the part where the both tins connect.
Here:
Since tin tins are hard to break (though not impossible I can tell from experience) you could also use a hard surface and more force if needed.
If they’re still stuck, let some warm water run on where they connect and try again. Although the drink might get watery if you take too much time.

Yeah, I did those. What helped me was using very little pressure when putting the tins together, barely enough to create a seal. Some guides suggest pushing them together with a smack to create a seal, which is rather counterproductive when your issue is not being able to open it quickly.

Oh yeah, if you use them often enough you’ll get a feel for how much pressure you can use, I’m comfortable with using a little smack to close them, but I used to work in a cocktail bar, so I have some experience with them.
