How do I get the yellow stain out of the seal of a pressure cooker?

Our answer

A yellow silicone gasket stain from spices may be cosmetic; wash it and replace the gasket only if it is cracked, tacky or no longer seals.

Why this approach makes sense

Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.

Before you try it

Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
