Does this pressure cooker have silicon or rubber gasket?

I just received mine, and I can say it's a silicon gasket... Haven't done much more than unbox it, so I can't say anything else about it, good or bad, yet ;)

Hi, the kit i just recieved had the aluminum/rubber gasket. this was a really nice kit that had the paperwork to help make sure the timming was correct.

there is a rubber circular gasket like all pressure cookers do between the lid and base. The handles don't get hot.

yes, the rubber gasket is essential. I recommend you return it immediately. you will be disappointed otherwise.

The crock comes with a rubber gasket around the lid, but the lid and the crock's shapes are not perfectly the same so the gasket does not make contact with the crock for the lid to fit tightly.

As noted by Mrs. J. Parrott the outside diameter of the gasket is 9 /4 inches. It fits the lid of our 6 quart stainless steel Fagor pressure cooker.

The instruction booklet shows 2 different size replacement parts for a silicone gasket. One is for a 22cm diameter silicone gasket (Replacement Part #600-000--22-795) and the other is a 26cm diameter silicone gasket.(Replacement part 600-000-26-795) Page 22 of instructions.

The is no seal gasket as such. When you install this unit in the hole in the bottom of the tank and use the wrench that comes with it the rubber expands and makes the seal. Hope this helps.

I purchased my extra gasket from FactoryDirect2you.com Item #1502KR Kuhn Rikon 24cm blue gasket. I also bought a glass lid so I can use the pressure cooker as a fryer Item#3710 9.5" Duromatic glass lid.

i don't remember, but i think it does not. but you can use either old one , or gasket silicone, or get one for a couple bucks at autozone or dealer

I could not find the gasket either. I used a special hi-temp silicone gasket maker from an automotive parts store.

Trish, this model does not have the rubber gasket. It does come with a rubber band type of object that is made for securing the lid during transport. I have not used the band so I can not comment on how well it works.

No gasket. it had a pin hole in the spout and leak until I sealed it. The cap doesn't fit tight. Very poor quility.

yes gasket is included, but the size of such is a little off - slightly larger in some areas, holes do not perfectly match either. as mentioned use marine grade silicone and you should be fine.

I ordered the rubber gasket separately. The bottom screwcap on mine is metal so I did not have to replace that, but in case you do, you can also order that part separately.

I also was unable to find the gasket. I used Permatex ultra copper high temperature RTV silicon. We are beginning our second heating season and have had no problems to date.
