I bought one but shouldn't there be a rubber gasket? I haven't tried it yet, I'm afraid the honey will leak out since there's no gasket.

yes there should be a rubber gasket. However they do drip down when pouring. Seems like a bother to me, although it does look nice on the table.

You are correct. There is a plastic gasket that comes with it. I find that sometimes it still leaks. The gasket should have been made out of rubber. I still like mine. I use mine for cane syrup.

yes, the rubber gasket is essential. I recommend you return it immediately. you will be disappointed otherwise.

Hi there... I would, actually, becuase there was no smell to the rubber gasket at all... not even from the beginning. I wouldn't give up on this either, especially if it's the right size for you as I find it to be a great little slow cooker and use mine weekly!

Haven't knocked mine over "yet" so I filled it with water, put the straw in the lid and turned it on its side to test it. Water came out of the minimal area around the straw. A rubber gasket holds the lid on very tightly, but there is no gasket around the straw area. Water will leak at that point only. I love this tumbler and use it as much as possible.

I have the same problem. The rubber gasket on the lid expands causing it to jam up when you try to screw it on. unfortunately they don't just sell the replacement gaskets, you have to buy a new lid.I bought a replacement lid for mine and I rotate between the two and that helps. I'll use one lid for a couple weeks until it starts getting tight and then I'll switch to the other lid. This gives the rubber gasket on the lid not in use time to shrink back down to normal size.

Works great. Just make sure gasket has the ridges facing out and just hand tighten the lid. It has never leaked on us so far. Hope this helps. If not just ask whatever other questions you may have. Good luck

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...

The fit is precise but that's a good thing to avoid leakage. Try pressing down on the handles before twisting to open as that could help break the seal on the rubber gasket. No tool as far as I know. Good luck!

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.

There is no gasket, the trim has about 3/8" lip that you could put silicone on and that should help seal any moisture out

I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

Same response as Clarence. The is no seal gasket as such. When you install this unit in the hole in the bottom of the tank and use the wrench that comes with it the rubber expands and makes the seal.

It doesn't have an internal gasket.I use it on my jars that I brought from Kroger - doesn't spill at all

Mine has a rubber gasket. Not sure why you would need silicone unless they forgot the gasket.

No the lid does not have a rubber gasket for sealing. The rim of the pot is constructed so that the lid fits snugly over the opening. We have never experienced steam leakage! The pot works wonderfully.

Mine does not leak It is fairly easy to clean. There is no gasket. I put kefir in mine! (liquid yogurt, basically.) A bottle brush fits into the opening. It is thick, sturdy glass protected by the colorful wrap. The only thing remotely difficult about cleaning it is if you happen to need to clean around or under the wrap. I have only done this once. Took a bit to slide the cover off and wash both, then put it back on.

Dan: I didn't find replacement gaskets for this set as each canister has a different diameter. What I ended up doing is purchasing a bag of Rubber Bands in "assorted sizes," and using the wide, thick bands, I put one underneath the gasket of one of the lids and it became tight, while it took three rubber bands (two side-by-side and one on top of those) to make the other lid gasket grip. My remaining two canisters in this set arrived air tight. It is a beautiful set, they just need some quality control inspectors to check the lids before selling them.--Caron

If you are talking about the gasket between the dust cup (ie container) and the lower opening on the backbone, I called Eureka about this and they sent me a free replacement gasket. However, the gasket they sent did not fit. So they ended up sending an entire replacement vacuum. I noticed that the new vacuum has a protective lip, so a gasket is not needed (or is not visible). Anyway, call them!
