Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A soft, pliable gasket is a necessity for keeping a pressure cooker operating safely. When a gasket becomes worn or dried out, steam may begin to escape and won't build up properly. This ten-inch silicon gasket is designed specifically for Fagor eight- and ten-quart pressure cookers, and is not intended for use with any other brand. The gasket should be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly before initial use. Suggested replacement is every 12 to 18 months. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

A 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.

People seem to be having a lot of trouble finding the right size for their cooker, before you order go to the Fagor website [...] and look up your particular model, then click on teh "Replacement Parts" link in the lower right corner. It gives a detailed explanation of which one you need.

I purchased this because the one that came with mine got damaged suddetly, I'm not sure how because I haven't had it long. I inspect it before each use though and noticed a big chunk of it missing. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time around.

My Fagor pressure cooker lid measures 10 inches in diameter. I ordered this gasket, which states it is for 10" diameter lids. However, the gasket itself measures 10 3/4". It is too big for the 10" lid.

Not all Fagor Splendid models use a 10" gasket. I bought this based on that review statement and it is entirely incorrect. My 6 Quart Splendid model uses a 9 inch gasket, not 10".

Turn you lid upside down and measure the outside diameter of the metal, not the gasket. If it's about 9 3/4", then a 10" gasket WILL NOT FIT. You need the 9" gasket instead.
