SILICONE GASKET for FAGOR pressure cooker

SILICONE GASKET for FAGOR pressure cooker

does anyone here have any experience with longevity of the Fagor
SILICONE GASKET for pressure cookers, as compared to the
PLAIN RUBBER GASKET?

we now need our third gasket for our Fagor pressure cooker. seems
like Fagor has a bad design of their pressure cooker or a bad
design/selection of rubber material for their gasket. we have tried
all of the tricks for sealing the gasket, from oil to vaseline, with
vaseline
being the best suggestion.

we suspect that Fagor's requirement that the gasket be replaced every
12 months, is a ploy to keep draining the consumer's purse.

the plain gasket was NEVER a problem with the old MIRRO pressure
cooker.

COMMENTS ???

Petroleum products like vaseline cause the rapid deterioration of rubber and
rubber-latex products. Silicone "rubber" may not be so affected.

Or maybe a way of avoiding problems?

Did you use vaseline on it?

Neither are good for the life of it.

Mindless conspiracy theory.
