We still stock the black gaskets (rubber seals) for compatible older aluminium pressure cookers. These can be purchased from our online store: Pressure Cooker Aluminium Gasket · Prestige
However, if your Prestige pressure cooker was manufactured before the end of 1996, we do not have any other compatible replacement seals, gaskets or other spare parts for these older models.
How can I check the age of my pressure cooker?
You may be able to identify the date of manufacture (DOM) from the batch code stamped on the base of the pressure cooker.
For example:
- A batch code of 790 indicates manufacture in July 1990.
- The first digit represents the month and the last two digits represent the year.
- If there are no identifying marks or batch codes on the base, this may indicate that the pressure cooker is an older model manufactured by Prestige Group UK Plc.
The original manufacturer, Prestige Group UK Plc, went into receivership and subsequently liquidation at the end of December 1996. Meyer International Holdings Ltd later acquired the Prestige brand name but did not take on responsibility for products manufactured by the former company.
For older models where compatible parts are no longer available, we are unable to recommend alternative seals or components. For safety, a seal or other pressure cooker component should only be used if it is specifically designed and approved for that model.
If you’re unsure of the age or model of your pressure cooker, clear photographs of the base and any visible markings or batch codes can help us identify it and confirm whether suitable spare parts are available.
