Gaskets should be replaced periodically, as they will harden over time and stop working — which will cause seal loss, and your cooker won't work.

(They can also be nicked or damaged by a stove burner, etc.) Tip: When not in use, gaskets can be removed from cooker lid to maintain proper shape for longest life.
