Hawkins Small Gasket (SG) – Genuine Sealing Ring for Mid-Size Cookers
Between the compact 1.5 Litre cookers and the larger family-size range sits Hawkins' mid-size category, typically covering Stainless Steel and Contura cookers around 2 to 3 Litres. The Hawkins Small Gasket (SG) is the genuine sealing ring built for this size band, keeping the lid-to-body seal airtight through repeated pressure cycles.
Everyday cooking naturally wears down a rubber gasket over time, and a small cooker with a worn SG gasket will often struggle to build pressure evenly or hiss steam from the rim instead of the vent weight. Fitting a genuine replacement resolves this without needing to replace the whole lid or cooker.
- Sized for Hawkins mid-range cookers, typically 2 to 3 Litre Stainless Steel and Contura models
- Creates an airtight seal between the lid and cooker body
- Durable rubber build designed for repeated heat and pressure exposure
- 100% genuine Hawkins OEM spare part, made to factory specifications
- How is the Small Gasket different from the Mini or Big Gasket? SG suits mid-size cookers, Mini fits the 1.5L category, and Big Gasket (BG) is for larger cookers — matching your cooker's litre size is important.
- What are common signs this gasket needs replacing? Stiffness, visible cracks, a stretched shape, or steam escaping continuously from the rim.
- Is professional installation required? No, the gasket fits by hand around the lid rim without tools.
- Will this gasket fit a Hawkins Contura 3 Litre model? Yes, this size range is typically covered by the SG gasket — confirm with our team if uncertain.
- Does gasket wear affect cooking safety? A worn seal mainly affects pressure consistency and cooking time rather than posing a direct safety risk, but timely replacement is still recommended.
