I would like to add a pressure/temperature gauge to the lid of my current pressure cooker so that I can verify temperature. Do I need other parts?

You will need to have a port/hole in the lid of you pressure cooker that is threaded 1/8" pipe thread to screw the gauge into.

You'll only need a small wrench to remove the old gauge and replace with the new one-that should be all you need.

I agree with Todd M, you only need a wrench to remove the old and secure the new.

Depends what cooker you are trying to add it to. An All American cooker you just need a wrench to replace the gauge, if you are trying to add one to a Mirro or other cooker it may require drilling and tapping a hole. I do not know if the other cheaper cookers even have a place on the lid thick enough to put a gauge without weakening the lid excessively.

Depends how old it is and what brand and if it is for canning or a regular pressure cooker. Let me know and I will see if I can help.

you can probably use one of your currently existing lids so long as the measurements match up. there is nothing particularly distinctive about this lid in comparison to lids for other cookers except for the small steaming vent hole as seen in the photo.

I believe that all vented pressure cookers have a standard size gauge fitting. The safe thing is to email the company for the facts rather than my guesses.

Hi, do not really have experience with a pressure cooker, I have not use one for ages. Suggest to test on a vegetarian dish...cook 5 minutes, close lid, let pressure build and place in the WB and cover any vent. I think it should work and like loomweaver says, cooling and de pressuring will increase, so you need to reduce actual cooking time on a heat source. But is a good question and I will experiment myself with it. Best regards.

I wish I knew, I was missing a very small part and had to get rid of mine because they no longer have parts for this pressure cooker. I will investigate and make sure that the product has not been discontinued before I ever purchase a product like this again.

I am sorry but I didn't see a question here. exactly what is the question? Are you asking about parts for the pressure cooker?

I thought I did at first trying to close and lock the Presto 01264 6-Quart pressure cooker, but take your time, have the handles from the lid and the base of the pot looking like an opened duck's beak the lid should then fit into the groove of the base then bring handles together where they look like the picture above and that's it.

Not sure, Allen. My silicone steamer says it's ok up to 450º, but how do we find out temp inside a pressure cooker (without being sorry... ) : ) I have a flat metal (aluminum probably) steamer rack that rests on bottom of a canning pot and something like this could withstand higher heat? Hope someone knows how to find an answer.

I think so. All you need is heat to cook with the pressure cooker, just be sure to follow the guide sent with it. Ours is wonderful!!

No I don't think so. I am unsure what you mean, but it isn't like a pressure cooker or anything that screws down. The rim is wide enough and has drainage holes in it, these can be rotated to be aligned with the lip and steam escape or rotated and the solid rim covers the area of the lip leaving no gaps. It is a well fitting lid.

Very easy through the Magefesa website: http://www.magefesausa.com/I've had my pressure cooker for a few years and use it all the time - have not had to replace anything so far - it's extremely well-made.

I was unable to answer the question I just received as I have not used my pressurecookers yet. I will use them this summer for canning as this is why I purchased them.I received my cookers to late in the season for canning last year.

Not if you only purchased the pressure cooker. I suggest checking your order details.

The pressure is regulated by turning the heat on your stove up or down. The gauges on the pressure cooker will show the pressure but you need to regulate that pressure by closely watching the gauges and making adjustments on the stove. Follow the step by step instructions that are provided. The frost has killed my garden, but we're still enjoying tomatoe sauces canned using this pressure cooker.
