We have a rather new (4yr old) Prestige pressure cooker, which seems to destroy its own gasket. It appears that the gasket succumbs to the heat and expands or otherwise becomes mis-shapen then fails to seat properly.
The first time this happened I simply replaced the gasket, but exactly the same has now happened to the replacement. To begin with, the gasket would eventually resume its shape and the vessel would seal, but with repeated use the gasket has again cooked out of seal.
I feel that this must be user error but I can't work out what is going wrong.
Is this a known problem? any wizard wheezes?
any help much appreciated.
