How do I stop a lunchbox gasket tasting like dishwasher detergent?

Our answer

Remove the gasket and rinse the groove and seal under clean water. Check whether the maker approves dishwasher use for that seal, and try handwashing with a small amount of unscented detergent. If it still tastes soapy after thorough rinsing and drying, replace it with a matching seal.
