Where can I get a clear, silicone gasket for a 5 inch food canister? I can find the canister and the gasket, but I just need the gasket.
By Paul
I live in the Pacific Northwest and have seen gaskets only at McLendons Hardware. A web search turned up many suppliers.
It is flat, 3.5" inside, 5" outside. Anyone know where I can find a kitchen canister gasket like that?
By Donald
I would suggest going to Bed Bath and Beyond and seeing if they have some gaskets for your canister. There are a lot of markets such as Wallmart that sell a set of gaskets for canisters.
I have a glass cookie jar with a glass lid. There is no gasket or other way to "seal" the lid and keep the cookies fresher. I need a rubber/silicone gasket 5-1/2" interior size.

Could you wrap a wide large rubber band or several narrow ones around either the lid or the top of the jar to act as a seal?
Hey Joe!
I have that same 5.5 casket situation! Did you ever find a match? We love the Glass and Wood!
Would love it if during the year you find some resource!
I purchased an extra large Meloni jar minus the seal for air tightness. Any idea where this can be purchased?

On Amazon they sell a set of jar replacement gaskets. The set comes in all different sizes. The only ones I've ever seen have 6 to 8 in the set.
Take the jar to Michael's or AC Moore. They probably have them there.
I am looking for a replacement 3.5 inch round glass jar lid with gasket only for my ice tea glass jar dispenser with spigot. I measured the round inner jar top dimensions. I live in NYC or website locations would also be good. Thank You!
By Owen
See if a lid from the premade betty crocker frosting would work.
Go to AC Moore or Michael's with the dispenser.
You could also email the manufacturer for a replacement.
I am trying to figure out the proper size replacement rubber seal for a 1/4L jar? I just bought a used jar and the rubber seal is basically dried out. Thank you in advance.
If you kept it just make a template of it or keep it intact in a zip lock baggie and take it to the store. Easy Peasy!!
The gasket measures 2 7/8" inside and 3 7/8" outside with a small lift tab. How or where can I get a replacement?
