The gasket on this crock pot...is it loose or attached to the lid or the ceramic liner?

The gasket is on the lid. It is better then most because it is quite tall and pliable so it helps keep the moisture in.

For those who are having trouble with the rubber gasket coming loose, have you taken it off previously? I've had mine for a year or so, with no problems, other than peanut butter getting under the gasket a bit. Not sure if I should take it off, so I have been cleaning it with the gasket intact.

I would think pressure build up would be the issue and perhaps they are just covering themselves. This is however, the first one I have had that had the locking lid so and got for taking to pot luck dinners. I can see no reason I would need to use the locking mechanism while at home, it cooks in the time expected regardless. TIP: if you have never used crock pot liners, get some. They make clean up a snap!!

Hi Jillofalltrades, just make sure that the rubber ring inside the lid is on correctly and that the lid does lock right. Don't fill the pot to the guide line put less water. When the cooker starts hissing and the steam starts lower the heat so that the hissing is still going on but not as strong. The lid will always have a little mess because of the releasing steam. Trust me your food will still cook.

I have no idea. After trying to use the gasket I bought and following the directions several times, it continued to leak. The gasket was too big and buckled no matter what I did. Eventually I threw the gasket away and scrapped the pressure cooker. Sorry to not be of help.

It doesn't rattle. But I've found water will collect there after condensing on the lid. If you're using a crockpot liner, then this can allow for some seepage under the seal. Occasionally, using a liner and simmering bone broth for more than a day, I will find a puddle of water dripping from the liner in the morning. I usually turn my liners up, back over the lid, to avoid this.

I used some Teflon tape on the threads. No gasket. Probably don't need the tape but it can't hurt.

The lid with the Hamilton Beach model I have, does not have a rubber gasket around the glass lid.....it has some kind of metal around the lid.

The lid to this one has a small, circular hole in it which acts as a vent. I seem to recall reading somewhere not to latch the lid down while cooking so more steam can escape, and only use the latches for transporting food. You may have had the temperature too high, and if the crock pot was more than 3/4 full it could overflow or splatter. There are a few variables. Here is where you can find some user manuals: http://www.crock-pot.com/service-%26-support/product-support/instruction-manuals/instruction-manuals.html. Good luck!

Could be you aren't tightening it enough. There should be two gaskets, one on the outside and one on the inside. If that's still not fixed it you might have either a crack in the spigot/gasket or the ceramic has a crack. There aren't that many things that could go wrong so hopefully one of those things is your answer.

My best quess is www.crockpot.com and look under parts. Good luck...you do need a lid!

Examine the seal between the lid and the cooker when this happens. If there is steam hissing out or water dripping from the emergency blow out, the gasket is not seated properly (could be a friction thing, stuck food or something else) and pressure will not build up. Either take the lid out and reseat the gasket or jiggle/push the gasket with a spoon handle or some such through the cutout ( a rectangular cutout, approx 1 inch long, in the lid near the handle which allows the gasket to blow out when there is excessive pressure). I hate having to do this but somehow the fagor gasket material seems to always do this for me. Need to call and complain to them. Examine the seal between the lid and the cooker when this happens.

Having the gasket installed in the lid as it would be for use, I measure the gasket right at 14 inches. That is from inside lip to inside lip of the lid. I see no other way to give even a reasonable answer. The gasket fits as it should even being a bit tight as compared to the old gasket, which is how old I have no idea. It works well as tested. I pressured it for 15 minutes @ 15 psi setting but not under actual canning procedure. See my review for model of cooker I am using.

No, there is no gasket around the lid. It just sits on the dish of the slow cooker.

Yes it is loose around the edges but I haven't tried the boiling water fix...never heard of it
