Pressure Cooker Gaskets

Pressure cookers are specially designed pots that operate under high pressure and temperature. The rubber gasket is essential for creating an airtight seal between the lid and the body of the pressure cooker during cooking or food preservation. It effectively prevents steam or pressure from leaking out.

Pressure Cooker Maintenance

A pressure cooker is a single-pot cooking device made up of several parts that work together to ensure safe and efficient operation. One of the most critical components is the sealing ring, which should be cleaned thoroughly after each use.

Why Should You Replace the Pressure Cooker Gasket?

The pressure cooker gasket is made of rubber and is shaped like a ring that runs along the edge of the lid. This ring is vital for maintaining a secure seal, as it prevents heat and steam from escaping during cooking. More importantly, it reduces the risk of accidents caused by sudden pressure release. That’s why the sealing ring is the most important accessory that must be replaced regularly.

Over time, oil and other debris (such as dust) can build up on the gasket, compromising its sealing ability and causing it to loosen. Using aggressive cleaning agents can also weaken its material. Every pressure cooker user should routinely inspect the gasket for cracks or damage.

Before purchasing a replacement, check your pressure cooker's manual to determine the correct gasket size and type.

It is generally recommended to replace the gasket at least once a year, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you notice any signs of damage such as cracks, holes, or wear, replace it immediately.

There are various pressure cooker brands on the market, including Tefal, Fagor, Fissler, WMF, Alupret Kukta (Hungarian), Ufesa, Alza Melisa, Laster, Pronto, and Braun. These models come in different capacities (6L, 7L, 8L), which means varying internal diameters (e.g., approximately 17–18 cm, 22 cm, 24 cm).

Silicone Gasket for Pressure Cookers

The sealing ring is a key element of any pressure cooker. It must be made from high-quality materials, correctly positioned, and securely installed to ensure a tight and effective seal.

When the original gasket becomes worn out, it should be replaced with a new one to prevent steam or pressure from escaping.

Benefits of using a silicone pressure cooker gasket:

• High temperature resistance – silicone gaskets do not deform under heat;

• Electrical insulation properties;

• Food-safe and non-toxic – silicone is physiologically inert, tasteless, odourless, and complies with food-grade safety standards (FDA approved); it doesn’t yellow with long-term use;

• Weather-resistant – resistant to oxidation and ozone exposure;

• Durability – silicone gaskets are known for their longevity and reliability.

Silicone gaskets are ideal replacements for many popular models such as Fagor, Magefesa Star, Fissler and others.

Benefits of High-Quality Pressure Cooker Gaskets

Here are some key benefits of using premium-quality sealing rings:

• Enhanced safety – airtight sealing prevents dangerous high-pressure steam leaks;

• Faster cooking – proper sealing allows for efficient heat and pressure retention;

• Even cooking – a secure seal ensures uniform heat distribution and food consistency;

• Energy efficiency – reduced heat loss helps save energy.

Avoid low-grade, non-food-safe gaskets that may compromise your safety and cooking results.
