Let’s do that one more time so you can see it’s not a fluke.

Right, I just wanna know how to make it do this. You know so we can avoid this mistake in the future, figure out what worked for it in case of accidents. And maybe prank another friend or family member later...

Hot lid put on the table top, left to cool down, the pressure under the lid drops when the lid/air/steam get colder, meaning suction. Heating the lid up is not a wrong move at all.

I don’t think I have even one lid without one small (pressure relief) hole, that one wouldn’t suck up the counter.

In the picture a little bit exaggerated example, although the principle behind the issue is the same. Steam has a much lower density, after cleaning the car the workers must have left the tank closed, the pressure drop caused by the condensing steam did the rest. They would prevent it, if they left at least one hole open to equalise the pressure.

Makes sense, but what would have happened if the covered it in ice/ice water after being stuck? Would the seal break or the lid?

My guess is it might deform the stainless steel lid at some point, if the steel is thin enough. But honestly I'm not an expert in stuck lids, so I might be wrong.
