A pressure cooker is NOT anything close to a slow cooker. The cooking philosophy are practically totally opposites. A pressure cooker basically cooks your food in a fraction of time because it is under pressure. A slow cooker takes hours.
The whole idea of using a pressure cooker is that it is sealed and applies pressure to cook the food faster. The lid needs to be sealed for the pressure cooker to operate properly. It is frequently referred to as "infusion" cooking now days.
You need to read the instruction book that came with the pressure cooker. Pressure cookers usually cook for less than an hour--my homemade pressure cooker spaghetti sauce is cooked in less than 30 minutes. They are nice and were very popular long before anyone thought of microwaves and slow cookers. However, there are some precautions to be taken. There must be water or liquid in a pressure cooker. The rubber seal needs to be cleaned frequently and, when the rubber seal warps/stretches and no longer seals, it needs to be replaced. There are also certain foods that CANNOT be cooked in a pressure cooker like rice, dry beans, etc. The pressure control valve operates to regulate the amount of pressure and releases extra pressure otherwise the unit would blow up (very dangerous!). Most pressure cookers (required on all new ones) have a small rubber emergency stopper that will "blow off" in case the pressure is too high. I've seen this happen and my mother cleaning potatoes & meat from the ceiling!

www.fixya.com/support/t318063-cooks_essentials_pressure_cooker Cook's Essentials PRESSURE COOKER WOULD YOU KNOW WHERE TO GET A NEW GASKET FOR CEPC600S PRESSURE COOKER? ... part,, pressure regulator knob cooks essentials electric pressure cooker model # 99700 5 qt. ..... Looking for a replacement gasket for my 10 qt Innova model 42010 pressure cooker.
Ana, on the handle of the pressure cooker or under the bottom of the pot it should say both the Brand & Model number. There are a ton of different gaskets for pressure cookers, the Presto brand alone makes 20+ different gaskets just for their pressure cookers.
Most companies do not allow returns of items that are opened and installed so it is best to look under the pot and get the brand and model information. Then from there you can correctly research the gasket that will fit your Pressure Cooker.
If you do not see the part you require or are unsure about the model number; suggest you contact their Customer Service at 1-800-275-8273 or via their webform at:
Problem is probably that the rubber seal is old and swollen. It will probably take brute force to open the lid. What is the brand name of the cooker? If it's an old Presto or Mirro, it probably has two handles, upper and lower. You may need a person with more strength to force it open.
Once you have it open, do NOT reuse this seal. New ones can be ordered on line at various sites. Do a search on "Pressure Cooker repair parts".
