    Hi all
    I am always finding it difficult to remove rubber sealant in my different food processors and equipments. I find that food particles get stuck in my grinder jar cap and my blender bottom blade area.

    How can I remove it fast . Its a hard task.

    Use toothpick to poke the edge of rubber/silicone gasket/ring to get under it, and then pry it up.

    If you don't have a toothpick, then use the teeth of a plastic comb. Do not use knife/fork or a metal. This will cut into the rubber gasket/ring, and that microcut will initiate a large tear.

    Really careful Aunties would advise oiling the tip of the toothpick before prying out the gasket or ring.

    Unless your real name is Priya (girls who are good at prying out gaskets), it happens to everyone. You can buy replacements at amazon. Get a replacement already, just so you'd have it when the gasket gives up, and leaks on you.
