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!

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.

Wasn't totally sure if this was the correct gasket for a Farberware pressure cooker, but it turned out to be perfect! It works just as it should.

I hadn't used my pressure cooker much over the summer and didn't notice how hard the seal had got. Water dripped everywhere and I only just caught it in time before the contents burnt. After I regained my composure I searched internet land for a new seal. The Amazon website was far cheaper than anywhere I could buy locally and had great reviews So a little over a week later, my pressure cooker is as good as new.

I have a combo set (4 quart and 8 quart with single lid) of fagor pressure cookers. Over the years the old gasket was worn out and I stopped using the pressure cookers. Recently I started cooking things that take forever to cook (meats with tough tendons) and wanted to use the cookers again. With Amazon, searching for gaskets was easy. The tough part was making sure the size of the gasket. When I first looked at all the online information, including Fagor's, it seems that the combo set would require 10" gaskets. Thank goodness for another reviewer somewhere on the web that provided the best way to determine size - measure the inside diameter of your cooker! If the inside diameter is < 10", use 9". If > 10", use 10". In terms of performance, this silicon gasket works just as it should - good. My only hope is this one lasts longer than the 2 years the old one did.

I was looking for gasket for my QVC Cook's Essential pressure cooker. The gasket is not available at QVC. I was glad that this fits my pressure cooker or I would have to get a new pressure cooker.

It works!!! The proof of the pudding is how long it lasts. The original got hard fairly early.

I discovered the efficiency of a pressure cooker only recently, which makes me kick myself. Pressure cooking is like high-speed steaming and saves a lot of time and, in my case, gas.

I've had it for some years and was wondering how long the gasket would last and whether there could be a replacement. I found one on Amazon and ordered to see whether it would make a difference. I first ordered the 10" one and had to return it (the gasket sort of measures between 9 and 10), the 9" fit well and it's much more supple.

The first time I used it I was amazed at how fast the pressure came up. It seals much better. I bet the first one was getting stiffer over time and taking longer to get pressure and I didn't notice.

If your gasket seems a bit stiff, replace it! You'll be amazed at how quickly cooking starts.
