Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fagor 9-inch Silicon Gasket
Customer Review: Worthwhile purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Fagor 9" Silicone Gasket - some details
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Must-have for pressure cookers!

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.
Customer Review: Should have bought it months ago

This solved the problem I was having with cooker not building steam. I was putting up with all sorts of twisting and banging to make the old one work for almost a year. Why did I not buy it then---description did not tell that it would fit my size cooker. They changed the description to explain the 9" and 10" gaskets. And they riased the price. Not to worry ---- this was the fix needed. I was ready to get a new cooker.Customer Review: Savvy Shopper

An excellent OEM replacement silicone gasket at a good price.
The original gasket hardened and leaked, making it impossible to build pressure without repeated "jiggling" of the lid in order to make the initial seal.
The replaced part was dated "96 7", so it was probably not made of silicone. Can I expect even longer service from this one?
