Sealing Ring 6qt for InstaPot

Ah, the Silicone Sealing Ring for 6qt Instant Pots — the unsung hero of pressure cooking. The quiet MVP. The stretchable circle of culinary destiny. This little rubbery marvel fits snugly into your Instant Pot lid like it’s auditioning for a Tupperware modeling gig, and what does it do? Exactly what it’s supposed to. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just… seals. I put it in. It stayed there. It didn’t burst into flames, hiss at me, or demand a software update. Incredible. You’ll know it’s working when your pot doesn’t explode and your beans do become edible in under 9 hours. If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is. Is it fun? No. Is it exciting? Absolutely not. Is it critical to your Instant Pot not transforming into a kitchen grenade? Yes. 100%. And sure, after one round of curry, it now smells permanently like cumin and regret, but that’s the charm. It's like a friendship bracelet for your pressure cooker — deeply bonded through shared trauma and lentils. Pros: Fits your 6qt or 5qt Instant Pot like it was born for this job. Seals so well it could hide government secrets. Makes you feel competent when dinner cooks without blowing the lid across the room. Comes in a color that screams “I’m practical, not pretty.” Cons: Will eventually smell like a pot roast no matter how much you bleach it. Not dishwasher-safe for your nose. Not as exciting to buy as literally anything else on Amazon. Final Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 stars. It’s a sealing ring. It seals. It rings. It doesn’t judge your Instant Pot addiction, and that’s all I ask. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys functioning kitchen appliances and not living in fear of lid-based shrapnel.

Worked and fit exactly as it should

Perfect fit

After 2 years the original finally wouldn't seal. These seem ok.

For reference: we have a 6 qt Yedi Intant Pot purchased in 2017. There are some reviews where fit has bad fit/squealing/leaks. I don't doubt those reviews since the fit has to be very good since all these instant pots work by building up tremendous pressure. We have had none of these problems, and I was actually pleasantly surprised how much more quickly ours got up to pressure and temperature with all new rubber seals. Ours must have been gradually getting slower with weekly use since purchase in 2017. Other reviews have also said they smell bad - which would not only be bad but potentially affect food flavor. Again - no problem with ours although I did thoroughly wash them before use. My only criticism is our arrived folded. Seeing that I was sure they would not seal but luckily they have. Why risk causing a customer complaint by folding them, though? Ship them flat - just as they came out of the mold.

Great replacement for the price.

The silicone sealing ring for my 5 qt Insta Pot work great. I should have gotten new sealing rings years ago considering my insta pot is about 7 years old. Worked perfect and my insta pot is now pressurizing.

Perfect fit, exactly what was needed. Easy install. Saved money ordering here than on Instant Pot website.

我が家のインスタントポットのパッキンが経年劣化で弱ってきて、蒸気が漏れるようになってきたので、パッキンを買い替えました。サイズがピッタリです。1個単位で買えるともっといいのですが。

These rings fit my Instant-Pot pressure cooker perfectly. I appreciate different colors as it makes it easy to remember which ring was used for what kind of cooking. Food with strong smell can impregnate the silicon ring, so you may not want to use it with every food you cook in the pressure cooker. Rings don't have a strange chemical smell either, so that's a big plus. Longevity remains to be seen, and i will update my review in due time to reflect that factor in my rating.

Exactly as what is intended for

These clear or more like translucent sealing rings are slightly thicker than the one that came with our 8qt instant pot. They fit the lid very well. Quite pleased with the purchase. Will see if they last longer.

They fit. So far going strong. They'll come bunched up, so wash and flex them a bit.
