Not recommended for other brands of pressure cookers — made exclusively for use in the Pot. Key benefits - Restores a reliable, leak-free seal so your Pot pressure cooker reaches full pressure and cooks evenly. - Prevents food and odor transfer between recipes, keeping flavors clean when cooking different dishes. - Durable, food-grade silicone resists heat and wear for consistent performance over time. - Dishwasher-safe and BPA-free for easy cleaning and safe food contact. What makes it stand out - Engineered specifically for the Pot to fit and seal precisely — not a universal or generic ring. - Made from a durable silicone compound designed to resist deformation, stretching, and odor retention. - Simple installation and removal: fits snugly into the lid groove without tools. Compatibility and sizes - Compatible with Pot pressure cookers in 3 qt, 4 qt, 5 qt, 6 qt, 7 qt, and 8 qt sizes. - Intended as a direct replacement sealing ring for those models only. Performance and care - Seals perfectly to prevent steam leaks and ensure safe, efficient pressure cooking. - Dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning; hand-wash recommended if heavily stained. - BPA-free and food-grade for safe contact with all types of food. When to replace - Replace immediately if you notice cracks, deformation, persistent odors, or difficulty achieving pressure. - Recommended replacement interval: every 18–24 months under normal use. Practical use scenarios - After cooking a strongly scented meal (for example, fish or curry), swap in a fresh ring to prevent odor transfer when you next cook a dessert or porridge. - When your Pot shows steam leakage or slow pressurizing, install the new ring to restore proper sealing and cooking times. - For frequent bean or stock cooking, replace the ring on schedule to avoid permanent odor absorption and maintain performance. Installation tips - Remove the old ring, clean the lid channel, press the new ring evenly into place until fully seated. - Check for proper fit before first use by sealing and bringing the cooker to pressure according to Pot instructions. This replacement silicone sealing ring is designed to maintain the safety, performance, and flavor integrity of your Pot pressure cooker when fitted to the specified sizes.
