Does the lid smell funny (vulcanized) if you hand wash it ?

Its the rubber glued to the bottom of the mug that smells not the lid. Try it without the lid and you will still smell the rubber mat on the bottom of the cup.

i do put this in the dishwasher a few times. The seal can get a bit loose so I would hand wash the lid.

Yes it has a hefty rubber smell, i have had it for awhile and the smell is slowly going away. but it is still there and sometimes leaves the smell on my hands after i drive. but it definitely is going away

I have never noticed a smell in ours. We did wash it though. Perhaps that made the difference.

The lid and plastic ring clean better for me when I hand wash them. When I placed in the dishwasher, it did not clean as well as my hand washing did.

The sleeve comes on and off easily with a small dab of dishwasher soap. And yes the bottle can go into the dishwasher just fine. I hand wash the lid.

As long as the lid is on it seems to keep the smell in. We haven't noticed any old, greasy smells while we've been using it anyway.

I hand washed it too,I don't have dish washer. I think seal between shell and inside is not very good.

Yes, it smells. I've tried washing it with soap and water, plus rinsing with listerine. It helped a little bit. I'm just hoping time will get rid of the smell.

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!

No, it's part of the lid. It doesn't need to be washed though, just wipe it with a damp cloth if you need to.

We washed ours on the dishwasher twice before using. No smell and it works great!! It's plastic....so yeah it smelled at first

Sort of but not really . we put it in the dishwasher but it kinda melts and the the lid is deformed :) but we are too lazy to wash by hand lol.

Mine has no smell now for sure and did not notice any when it came in... But I always wash new stuff anyway....

I didn't have this problem, sorry you are. I did wash my pot with Fit vegetable wash and have used it for other plastic items with odors. Hope it helps.

Fortunately I didn't have an issue with the mugs smelling like plastic at all. I washed the lids by hand really well before using them though.

No. I put the whole thing in the dishwasher. Or hand wash. Holding up nicely!
