Hawkins Big Gasket (BG) – Genuine Sealing Ring for Larger Cookers
Family-size cooking calls for family-size cookers, and Hawkins' larger capacity models — from around 3.5 up to 8 Litres — use a bigger sealing ring than the smaller-cooker gaskets. The Hawkins Big Gasket (BG) is the genuine rubber ring sized for this larger cooker range, sealing the lid against the body to build and hold pressure correctly.
A big gasket that has stretched or hardened is the usual cause of steam hissing continuously from the rim of a larger cooker rather than escaping only through the vent weight. Replacing it with a genuine BG restores the seal to its original tightness.
- Sized for Hawkins' larger cooker range, roughly 3.5 to 8 Litres
- Forms an airtight seal between the cooker lid and body
- Rubber construction built to handle repeated pressure cycles
- 100% genuine Hawkins OEM spare part, matched to factory dimensions
- How do I know if I need the Big Gasket instead of the Small Gasket? BG suits larger-capacity cookers roughly 3.5L and above; smaller cookers typically use the SG size — check your cooker's litre marking.
- What happens if a mismatched gasket size is used? It won't seal correctly, leading to steam leaks and inconsistent pressure build-up.
- Can this gasket be fitted without professional help? Yes, it fits by hand around the lid rim.
- How often should the gasket be checked for wear? Inspecting it periodically for cracks, stretching, or hardness helps catch wear before it affects cooking.
- Does this gasket fit Hawkins Contura models? Contura cookers in this size range typically use the same Big Gasket sizing — confirm your specific model with our team.
