I have quite hesitant to buy this joint. My pressure cooker is 16 years old. So I thought she was too old to be able to find a suitable joint. What made me hesitate as it is comments from people who said that the seal was very hard to change and that it was not suitable. For me, no problem. It is very well adapted without intersected and in 30 seconds it was in place. So if you have the same pan as me, n 'hesitate!
