Pressure Cooker Spares

attritioner

Hi,
Could anyone suggest a retailer online or other that can supply gaskets and valves for my tower pressure cooker. My local supplier has stopped stocking the parts and I can't get any locally.

I have priced some online but the prices are crazy.
£7 for the gasket + £6 for the valve + postage.
I could buy a whole new pressure cooker for £20 !!!!!

It seems the only place you can get these now are online. I used MRASpares a few years ago, and I think they are the cheapest around. It pays to buy a couple of gaskets/vents as P&P is £2.50 on minimum £5 order.

Have you got an old fashioned hardware store in the area? If you ring them, they might be willing to post to you at cost.

The local hardware store was the place that I purchased the spares but they don't seem to want to supply them anymore. Probably not enough interest / turnover.

I know pressure cookers could be seen as old fashioned but I found mine really usefull for lots of dishes. Seems like I may have to consider buying a different make that spares would be supplied locally at a reasonable cost. Time to shop around again.

Thanks to all who took time to read/reply.
