Years ago I had a problem finding a gasket for my pressure pot. The maker had gone belly up. Zahn was our exclusive supplier at the time for most things and they had no answer other than "Be glad to sell you a new one."
I didn't take kindly to that. These things are not that different from pressure cookers. I went to WalMart.
They had a $50 pressure cooker that I verified in the store had the same lip and lid measurements. New Gasket.
But I also saved the insert saying where to get a replacement. Just found it again.Here y'go:
$10/each with USPS shipping for $3. Looks like they ship from New Jersey for everything.
It is a soft silicone gasket. They have 9 and 10 inch ones. Stated life of around 12-15 months, which jives with my experience.This is only for pots that don't exceed 30ish PSI. Took my pot to 40 PSI once by a stupid accident. Gasket held. But please don't use it on the 90 PSI jobs.
If you don't know, the pot/gasket size is the size of the pot's rim, not the lid or gasket itself.
Here's the website

Hope it helps someone.
