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 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.
