I recently bought a new slow cooker with a flexible gasket attached to the lid. It's one of the ones you can latch closed so the contents won't spill when you take it with you. The gasket is black and I'm not sure if it's real rubber or silicone.
Unfortunately, the gasket picked up some odor last time I made soup. Then I made pudding in it and while the odor wasn't strong enough to affect the taste, it was very obvious while cooking and I was worried I was going to have ham-flavored tapioca.
What's the best way to get rid of the smell? The gasket does not come off as far as I can tell.
I've had quite a few slow cookers in my life and have yet to have one with a rubber gasket on the lid.
As long as we are talking Crockpot and not pressure cooker i'd think about getting a sharp knife and cutting the gasket off and just ging with no gasket if possible, obviously if taking the gasket off the lid then falls into the cooking product this fix wont work
Baking soda is a miraculous cleaner and neutralizer. I would make a paste with water, and scrub it real good. If you can, let it set awhile before you rinse it off.
