Step 11 Fix a Blender With a Jar Lid

I dropped my blender's pitcher. It didn't break, but the thing on the bottom did.
Fortunately the threads on the bottom are the same as a canning jar.
So I put that on the pitcher. It works fine!
Could it be the ancient ones designed it that way?
If you break your pitcher, you could even substitute a jar for it, as in photo 3!

At step 11 I am wondering if the old rubber canning seals are a good fit to replace lost or leaky blender gaskets.

I guess the only trick there is to match them up and see. prolly better than no seal at all...

This works the other way around, of course-you can screw a Mason jar into your blender's pitcher base, of course if yours has not broken. It's nice for mixing something and taking it with you, or throwing it in the fridge to cool down. plus your pitcher is not in the dishwasher every time you need it like mine is.

Sweet! I will try the jar-lid fit on my blender when I get home, just in case! Thanks!
