Ronson Cook 'N" Stir Replacement Gaskets

[jegerton]

Hi - I just purchased a Ronson Cook 'N' Stir on eBay; it's brilliant. My gasket is in fair shape but leaked a little when blending boiling soup. I fixed the leak by placing a rubber band under the gasket. However, this will not last forever. Does anyone know where to find replacement parts for a long-discontinued small appliance? Google search results are useless. Is it possible to make a gasket?

FYI: for pastry cream, I threw everything in, set the heat to near 200, stirred on a high speed enough to blend together the ingredients and then lowered the stir speed to 1. Within 10 minutes I had a silky creme pat. I've also made a couple of soups. It's not a Thermomix. But then it cost 60 dollars plus shipping.

Update: Replacing Irreplaceable Gaskets

I believe the solution for me will be to cast a copy with Sorta-Clear food-safe, heat resistant, silicone. This should also work for other non-existent gaskets as well -

I have never seen this gasket but I'm I safe to assume its just a flat rubber "washer" style gasket like most blenders?

If this is the case it would be simple to make such a gasket. You can buy sheets of gasket material and just cut the inside and outside circles. A trick I use for perfect round gaskets is to use a circle cutter holding an Xacto blade in my drill press (turn it by hand!). Use double stick carpet tape to hold the gasket material onto a flat surface that you clamp to the table. Cut the outside diameter then adjust and cut the inside and you get perfect concentric circles!

A good source for the gasket material is McMaster-Carr. They have every kind of rubber you can imagine

Ronson Cook 'N' Stir Gasket

I checked McMaster-Carr sight and one of their extruded tube fitting gaskets might be a starting place. I'll definitely give them a call. Thanks for the suggestion. The below is a pic a Ronson gasket -
