Presto Pressure Cooker Sealing Ring – Food‑Grade Silicone Gasket

The Presto Pressure Cooker Sealing Ring (2‑Pack) provides a reliable, food‑grade silicone gasket that restores a tight seal to your Presto CA16, CA16H, or 21‑quart pressure canner. Designed for home canners and serious cooks, this ring ensures the lid stays airtight, allowing safe pressure buildup and automatic steam release when needed. If your original seal shows cracks, hardening, or loses elasticity, swapping these rings will bring back the original performance and protect your recipes from under‑cooking.

Features & Benefits

• Made from food‑grade silicone that resists temperatures up to 450 °F (232 °C), the ring won’t melt or leach chemicals during long canning or cooking cycles.
• A reinforced cross‑section gives high tensile strength, so the gasket retains its shape and does not stretch or tear even after many uses.
• Engineered to follow the exact inner‑rim profile of Presto CA16, CA16H, and 21‑qt canners, it forms a pressure‑tight seal that blocks steam leaks and keeps cooking pressure consistent.
• The built‑in automatic air vent aligns with Presto’s 9911 vent system, safely releasing excess steam while preserving the airtight environment needed for safe pressure cooking.

Practical Uses

When home‑canning jars of tomatoes, fruit preserves, or pickles, a firm seal prevents water from entering the jars and ensures the proper processing time for safe preservation. The same ring works equally well for pressure‑cooking soups, stews, or beans, where maintaining steady pressure avoids undercooked meals and reduces cooking time. Because the silicone material is easy to clean and resistant to odors, you can switch between sweet and savory batches without worrying about flavor transfer.

Buying Considerations

Before purchasing, verify that your pressure cooker model is pre‑1977 with a separate air vent; later models that combine the vent and lock are not compatible. Compare the silicone hardness (shore rating) if you prefer a softer or firmer feel, and consider buying a spare pack to avoid future downtime. Also check that the lid’s inner rim is clean and free of residue to ensure the new ring seats properly.

Closing

If you own a Presto CA16, CA16H, or 21‑qt pressure canner and need a dependable gasket, this 2‑pack silicone sealing ring delivers durability, safety, and ease of use. It restores airtight performance, protects your recipes, and comes at a modest price—making it a smart addition for any home canner or pressure‑cook enthusiast.
