Zavor Silicone Gasket 10-inch

This 10-inch gasket is designed specifically for select Zavor DUO, ZPot, and Elite models that feature an 'LJ' stamp on the unit. It is intended for 10-quart capacity cookers, so please verify both the stamp and the capacity of your pot before purchasing.

It is generally recommended to replace your silicone gasket every 12 to 18 months, or sooner if you notice signs of wear, cracking, or if the cooker is struggling to maintain pressure. Regular replacement ensures your cooker remains airtight and safe to operate.

Yes, this gasket is dishwasher safe. Its food-grade silicone construction is durable enough to withstand standard dishwasher cycles, making cleanup simple and efficient.

Using an official Zavor replacement part is crucial for maintaining the safety and performance of your pressure cooker. Third-party gaskets may not provide the precise, airtight seal required for proper pressure buildup, which can lead to leaks or inconsistent cooking results.

While the gasket is durable, keeping it clean and free of food debris is the most important step for maintenance. You do not need to lubricate the gasket, but ensuring it is seated correctly in the lid before each use is essential for a secure seal.
