Hi Peter, I don't have any info on that brand, I don't think its even marketed in the US. Liquidators often use Ebay to offload their odd lots on unsuspecting buyers, and I see this as a very common problem with these foreign brands that are not usually imported or sold in the US. I get similar emails from people in the same situation as you, who find themselves stuck with orphan pressure cookers that are now unusable because no replacement parts are available anywhere in the US.

Pressure cooker gaskets are not interchangeable from one brand to another. This is a safety factor. Although there might be gaskets that look somewhat similar, remember that gaskets change shape under pressure, and your safety is not worth the risking of an explosive decompression as a result of using the wrong gasket.


Unfortunately, you may have no other option but to retire your old cooker, perhaps finding a second life for it as a serviceable stock pot if it has a regular cooking lid. When you decide to go shopping for a new pressure cooker, keep in mind that you will need a source for replacement parts, and stick with the well known brands that are widely available in the US. You can find my tips on how to buy the right pressure cooker in this article from my website, Buying a Pressure Cooker, and then browse through the new, modern pressure cookers to see what is available in Miss Vickie's Store.

That store seems to have a good reputation, although I don't know if they can ship to the US, do let me know what they say.
