Product Description

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

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fagor 9" Silicone Gasket - some details, September 15, 2010

We recently used our 6 liter Fagor pressure cooker for the first time in over a year. It didn't pressurize too well, so I sought a new gasket. I wasn't sure what size to order since our original gasket was 9.5 inches, halfway between the two sizes available. Also it wasn't 100% clear whether the 6 liter cooker takes the same size gasket as the 6 quart. Anyway I am happy to report that the 9" gasket fits the 6 liter cooker just fine. For the record, the new 9" silicone gasket is actually about 9 5/8 inches in diameter. Also for the record, Fagor calls the material silicon, but it is actually silicone. I'm knocking off a star not because of the product, but because the sizing info could easily be made much clearer on both the Fagor website and on Amazon.

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.

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!
