Univen S-9892 Pressure Cooker Gasket Seal Fits Mirro

I used this replacement gasket on my vintage Mirro pressure canner without any problems. Thank you.

I have the Mirro M-0536-11. This seal fits & works perfectly with it. After reading other reviews I would say this, make sure you wash & dry it well several times, then soak it in hot water for 15-20 minutes & use a drop of vegetable oil on it during two or three test runs first. Make sure you let it cool before washing it & then drying it with a paper towel between the test uses. Look for black residue on the paper towel. I washed mine many, many times & used it 3 or 4 times before the black residue completely stopped coming off of it. This residue has a bad odor & will affect taste. That's my only complaint. I read other reviews saying it leaks. Either they didn't prep it right or the pot is damaged. These pots have screws through the lid where it connects to the handle & after 30 years those screws can be loose & cause a leak. I had to fix the handle so the screws held tightly on mine. Also if the lip of the pot is bent or been otherwise made uneven, it won't seal correctly. These are reasons why you should test run it with only water in it a few times to get these things adjusted. But with only a few tweaks my grandmother's 30yr old pressure cooker works like a champ with the seal.

I recently became interested in pressure cooking, and located our old M-0536-11 six-quart cooker that was a gift from over 20 year ago, still with its original gasket. We had not used the cooker for many years and the top valve had long ago been misplaced. Bought a pair of universal top valves on Amazon, and they seemed to fit, but cooker was leaking steam from underneath the handle and would not pressurize. After checking around the web and also pricing new pressure cookers, I decided to try replacing the gasket. One review here said this gasket did not work on this model, but for the price I figured I'd take a chance. It ended up working perfectly and the cooker works like new now.

Works for Mirro M-0598-11. That little slip of paper is the directions, not 'Inspector 13.' Follow directions, soak in hot water, finesse it in. Keep in mind it might seem too big when you're trying to cram the last bit in because it's squeaky clean and it went in a little overstretched seconds earlier in the first part of your installation. You are allowed to use a little vegetable oil to help close the pot; perhaps a little here would be advised?Too bad the pressure cooker itself isn't worth saving. I got this seal, it worked, then it helped me recal this cooker's greatest flaw was the unreliability of its pressure lock. I had to fiddle with it since it was new, helping my wife get the damn Mirro to work. And Mirro doesn't support their cookers and canners like Presto.So, I got tired of my Mirro's SNAFU and bought the  Presto 1755 16-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner .

This gasket does not replace the gray one one for my older pressure cooker very well. It will allow the pot to build up pressure but liquid will bubble out around the seal. May work well for newer models but barely sufficient for my older pot.

Although my pressure cooker model is listed the gasket was way to big.

Perfect fit for my Mirro Pressure Cooker. A bit pricey, but designed specifically for this pot, and much cheaper than a new cooker.

I was trying to find a pressure cooker gasket for my grandmother. Because her pressure cooker is quite old, it was hard to find the specific size anywhere else. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond, Ace Hardware, Manufacturer's Website, Walmart, and Meijer and they none of them had the correct size. They told me they could order it for 2x the price.When the package came, the gasket fit the pressure cooker nicely. The only way to make sure was to try it. We made some boiled potatoes and the seal we perfect.
