Pressure Cooker Spare Parts and Maintenance Guide
What this collection contains
Original and compatible spare parts for pressure cookers: seals and silicone gaskets, safety valves / pressure release valves, handles (fixed or removable), pressure indicators, lids with locking devices, adjustment knobs, steam baskets/supports, release valves.
How to choose the right spare part
-
Brand, model, and volume: spare parts like seals and valves must match the diameter and capacity of the cooker.
-
Type of valve: safety, working valve, pressure release valve — parts are not always interchangeable.
-
Gasket: material (silicone or rubber), thickness, shape, and exact size.
-
Type of closure / devices: hinge, lever, clutch, safety locks, or integrated pressure indicators.
-
Extra components like steam baskets, supports, spare parts for electrical components (if electric cooker) must be electronically/dimensionally compatible.
Recommended maintenance
- Clean the gasket and lid after each use to avoid odors or deterioration;
- Check that the safety valve is functioning, not blocked, and that the spring or mechanism inside moves freely;
- Replace the gasket as soon as it appears deformed, hardened, or damaged to ensure sealing and safety;
- Clean the steam release holes and release valves to avoid blockages that prevent proper pressure; use warm water and soft tools;
- Avoid using with a cold cooker over too high a flame: heat gradually to protect metal components and the gasket.

Quick FAQs
How often should I replace the gasket?
When you see it is deformed, hardened, cracked, or not sealing well: generally every 1-2 years depending on use.
Safety valve not working: what to do?
Check that it is not blocked, that the internal spring is free, and that the mechanism is not damaged; replace it if necessary.
Can I wash the lid in the dishwasher?
It depends on the manufacturer's instructions: some parts may be sensitive; often it is better to wash the lid and gasket by hand to avoid premature damage.
Multiple valves: what does it mean?
Some cookers have differentiated pressure levels or additional valves for direct steam release; always use specific valves for the model to maintain safety. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
