problem with pressure cooker sealing ring
    #27085567 - 12/12/20 11:39 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

So, I just purchased a new presto sealing ring since the last time I was doing cultivation i believe the ring snapped and i had to throw it away. Can you take a look at these pictures and tell me if its on correctly? I'd assume it should be flat on inside of the lid, but for some reason its lifting up in certain points of the seal.. is this okay and will be fine once the lid is pressed down against the pot or is there something wrong? I've been trying to get it to rest perfectly for the past 10 minutes and i just cant get those little portions to stay flat.

Normal for a new ring? Or is there something i need to do to make it look perfect? Appreciate your time - I want to get some agar started today, took forever for this to come in the mail. Another note, I'm 100% positive this is the right part / part # for my 23qt presto.

Thanks!

Should be fine, will flatten after its heated, agar  isa good test, since it doesn't take long. If anything, you'll notice steam leaking, and not getting up to pressure.

Hi waxbrain,

I just replaced the sealing ring in my own Presto PC, although the PC model is different I'm willing to bet we got the same sealing ring. Mine came the exact same way.

The ring will form to the inside of the pressure cooker once the heat and pressure builds up, it's all raised up because of the way Presto packages them.

This is now the second time I've replaced my sealing ring in the 4 years I've owned my PC and both times were the same.

Hope this helps you

I prefer vaseline to olive oil but yes I do recommend lubing up your gaskets pretty regularly.

My presto gasket is cracked now after 2 years of pretty heavy use. Had trouble finding a replacement part locally.

Ordering from presto directly for me probably costs more than the damn gasket in shipping costs and the ones I found on amazon have sketchy reviews

good to know that vaseline works. I used a light coating of crisco vegetable oil once and the ring wouldn't seal.
