Product Description

A rubber gasket's primary purpose is to create a constant tight seal. Over time a gasket can dry out and lose its elasticity. If you notice this happening, replace the gasket immediately. A worn out gasket can lead to steam not building up, or worse, escaping from your cooker.

Amazon.com Review
The rubber gasket is the key part in forming the tight seal when you lock your pressure cooker for steaming. Every now and then, your gasket needs replacing to keep your pressure cooker working at its highest capacity. With about a 9 inch diameter, this gasket fits all 6-quart and smaller Fagor pressure cookers. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

Fagor Silicone Gasket
The problem with many pressure cookers is the rubber gaskets get hard, and then the cookers won't seal. The new one from Fagor is silicone, so it should last about forever. The original gasket was rubber, not silicone, so this is an improvement.

Better than the oiriginal one
They send you a whitish silicon gasket, not the blue rubber one you see. this is good though becauyse the silicon one works much better. my cooker is used at least once a week. If you have not replaced the original rubber one - do it!

Must-have for pressure cookers!
I've ordered two of these, one for me (silicone version) and one for my mother (rubber version). We are both EXTREMELY pleased with the results. We both screwed around with wiggling our pressure cooker lids trying to get the pressure going. We should've come here straightaway and bought the gasket.

We couldn't be happier -- we are both huge pressure cooker fans and having a good gasket makes all the difference. I highly recommend this product.
