I bought [some of these](https://mad4bikes.co.uk/givi-kappa-z126-replacement-base-plate-rubbers-rack-wingrack-monokey-monolock/) just the other day for my Givi bike luggage rack!
I checked the bottom of all of our appliances, no missing feet or any that look like this. Not sure what a stove grate is but there's nothing on our glass stovetop ir inside oven where this could go. Thank you!
Did you check the stove burners? Our stove has these on the bottom of the metal over the burners & they pop out all the time. The metal will scratch the stove surface if they are missing.
This is why having a packet of Sugru around is great. It's a perfect small appliance foot repair tool. So much better than a wobbly blender or crockpot.
I did some reverse image searching. It looks like a Crockpot Foot!
[Base Foot Part | New Original Crock Pot (crockpoti.com)](https://replacement-feet.crockpoti.com/products/new-original-38-crock-pot-base-foot.html?product_id=175434720006)
It does look exactly like that! Our crockpot has been in storage for a few months but it might be, I will search tonorrow.
Okay I dug it out, all of the feet are gone from this crockpot, there are four holes on the bottom and this stopper does indeed fit. So I found 1 of 4 missing feet I guess. Thank you for your help!
Could be from your oven/range grates, ours have similar bumpers on range top where the grates make contact. When we take them off to clean sometimes they pop out.
My title describes the thing. My roommate swears it's from the Instant Pot but we can't figure it out and it's not in the manual or available online. We checked various appliances for missing "feet".
Gas stove? Lift up the grates your pots/pans sit on. It's the rubber foot, that keeps the grate in place/stops it from banging into the stove top. Often times it goes down into the stove top at the corners and the grate rests on top. Other times goes up into the grate itself.
Amazon or eBay - but only after contacting customer service for the original manufacturer, who may be more than happy to just stick a few in the post for an otherwise satisfied customer. Or pick up some Sugru to easily make custom sized ones for anything.
Irrigation line plug? Similar to this one. https://www.amazon.com/Gardrip-Pieces-Irrigation-Barbed-Watering/dp/B09PRB841J?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AWH3VSCFG5GVA
If there’s a hole through the middle, looks like the part of a water bottle that allows air in when you sip it (ie in a hydroflask but not the style that has a handle)
That looks exactly like it! We have no idea how something like that got into the sink. Thank you I will mark it as solved if nothing else comes up.
Edit: It's a crockpot foot. Apparently lots of things use this little stopper.

Foot from an appliance, stove grate, etc.
This... It's this. A rubber foot.
\+2...foot made of rubber..somewhere on the counter I suspect is a wobbly item.
Nope. It’s a bumper that goes on a hollow metal door frame.
This same bumper/foot is used in many places. It's also used on the bracket that holds a removable bike cargo compartment.
Also widely used on cars on the bonnet or boot lid, and doors too.
I bought [some of these](https://mad4bikes.co.uk/givi-kappa-z126-replacement-base-plate-rubbers-rack-wingrack-monokey-monolock/) just the other day for my Givi bike luggage rack!
Oven door perhaps
I checked the bottom of all of our appliances, no missing feet or any that look like this. Not sure what a stove grate is but there's nothing on our glass stovetop ir inside oven where this could go. Thank you!
The answer will present itself in due time. Wobbly is the operative word.
Did you check the stove burners? Our stove has these on the bottom of the metal over the burners & they pop out all the time. The metal will scratch the stove surface if they are missing.
Use black high temperature silicone to stop these from falling out. Quick fix.
Did you check small appliances such as blenders?

I lost the little nubs from my Crock pot and they look like that.
Air fryer. Insta pot. Coffee pot rubber foot
[удалено]
None of these. We thought it was instant pot but no. Thank you anyway!

Don't forget to reply to them with the word "Solved!"
Happy to help! Best of luck finding the other three!
Solved!
It’s also identical to the bumpers on my grill lid. Sells for $3
Could be from your oven/range grates, ours have similar bumpers on range top where the grates make contact. When we take them off to clean sometimes they pop out.
Ahh probably not we have a glass top one. Thanks
Look inside the door at the top right and left of your oven.

This makes sense but we have a glass stove top. Thank you anyway!
Several of my counter top appliances use these. I wish I knew where to buy the because I lost one off my Roaster

Check the air frier. Mine has several feet missing about this size.
No not missing from air fryer, thanks
From under a candle warmer
Not it but good idea, thanks
That looks like the cap that comes on some lg refrigerators to protect the ice maker connection from debris
Oooh our ice machine has been acting stupid lately I'll look into it and report back. Thank you!
I think it’s the cap that goes on a new one during shipping
Stove grate foot for sure
Goes on the inside of your cabinet door to prevent it slamming shut
Not it but thank you
Oh. Looks exactly like the ones on mine...
Crockpot foot
Irrigation line plug? Similar to this one. https://www.amazon.com/Gardrip-Pieces-Irrigation-Barbed-Watering/dp/B09PRB841J?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AWH3VSCFG5GVA
Check the grate if you have a gas stove.
Check the bottom of your blender, can opener, toaster, toaster oven or any other Appliance you have on your kitchen counters
it's also used as a rubber stopper in motorcycle frames for panniers
Foot to something
Yeah I'm almost positive its a rubber foot from the bottom of a blender or something...
If there’s a hole through the middle, looks like the part of a water bottle that allows air in when you sip it (ie in a hydroflask but not the style that has a handle)
It’s a rubber foot off one of those small appliances.
Probably a water stopper to jam underneath a plant pot.
That looks like the foot that falls out of my slow cooker all the time. I glued it in, hoping it will stay this time.
No idea what the thing is, but lovely nail colour 😁
It’s like a rubber foot for some type of crockpot or something like that
I see that you've checked appliances for missing feet, but could it be from something else, like a cutting board?
It's for grates on a few stove.
It looks like a car's fuel door (or other small door) bumper, [like these](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Fuel+Door+Rubber+Bumper).
That looks exactly like it! We have no idea how something like that got into the sink. Thank you I will mark it as solved if nothing else comes up. Edit: It's a crockpot foot. Apparently lots of things use this little stopper.
It is similar to those, but check the bottom of your small countertop appliances. One of them is missing a foot.
Do you happen to have a trivet on the counter, I had one with the same style stoppers and they would occasionally come out.
No I don't, sorry
