How do I remove smell from lid seal?

[Ninny]

Hi Guys, i cooked the delicious Beef Rendang last night and now my seal is very smelly. I tried soaking it in vinegar and water, and then lemon juice and water. Now I'm thinking maybe i should cook something and that will help take the smell away? Your thoughts and suggestions please.
Love Jenny

Hi Jennyhavingfun, Check out this thread Here that has been discussed before about the lid and seal being smelly and the different methods people use to eliminate the smell. Hope that helps.

I can't remember if I posted it on the other thread but rubbing it with a cut lemon and leaving it overnight is the best solution I have found. Washing it straight away in cold water is the best prevention I think.

I have made a paste of bicarb soda and water and tried to pack it around the seal.
Thermie i will try the lemon tip overnight!
Thanks Jenny

Hi
I have had the same problem, I let my consultant know & I got a second seal wich I use for non smelly stuff.
I know this sounds really strange but putting the smelly seal out in the sun removes the odor I have done this with mine & it works, not that we are getting much sun at the moment.

Hi Maxxie, I will def try that tomorrow, because it still smells. Next order to Thermomix i am ordering a spare seal!

I purchased a second seal too, only $20, well worth it

2 seals is a great idea,keeping one for sweets only. I have found mine is much better now I keep it separated from the lid until in use.

Wish I could remember where I read this (and it was only yesterday) but could could try soaking the lid overnight in a vinegar solution.
