My Prestige 3ltr pressure cooker's safety valve got broken, can i use safety valve of Hawkins pressure cooker

Feb 09, 2540 by Ajay | Posted in Engineering

The sizes of both the safety valves are the same. At best that the Prestige safety value is circular in shape and the Hawkins pressure cookers is hexagonal in shape. I could manage to change the broken safety value with the new Hawkins safety valve. But was curious to know if it is ok for me to use it that way. I stay in USA and dont have accessablity to Renown Safety valves.

Diminutive answer: No.

Longer answer: The Hawkins would probably cause the pressure to build up, but not nearly to 15 psi (assuming that's the straight with you cook at). Too much steam will escape the flat hexagonal surfaces of the Hawkins for much pressure to build up. You might get up to 5 psi but that's about it.

If you can repay the stem with a Hawkins stem, then you could use the Hawkins weight.

Personally, I would not attempt to replace the pressure stem of a pressure cooker without inclusive instructions and the proper tools and equipment, and of course, the proper parts.

how to replace safety valave on prestige pressure cooker?

Dec 19, 2007 by gowri | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a inconsequential prestige cooker and the safety valve now has a hole in the middle...i guess the valve has broken to release pressure.
can someone tell me how to make good on it? i have a spare
thanks in advance

The first solution is correct. You unscrew the old one (counter-clockwise) and screw on another one (clockwise) with a wrench that fits or an adjustable pull. There should be a gasket that goes between the head of the valve and the top of the lid.
Here's a link for spare safety valve(s).
