Any ideas - I've tried hot water and then the deep freeze without
success - maybe significant oven heat ?


You need differential temperatures between the two bowls, heating or
cooling both won't work. Try filling the inner stuck bowl with an
crushed ice/salt freezing mixture. If that doesn't work place the
stuck bowls in a larger container filled with hot (aka near boiling)
water to just below the brim of the outer stuck bowl. Give things a
few minutes to contract/expand.

How about a combination? Stand the outer one in a pan of boiling water,
pour cold into the inner one?
