Ebay has plenty of fissler parts/gaskets.

 

I'm in the minority re instant pot.  I gave mine away and am happy with my old school Kuhn.

 

Hi, Thank you for answering my question. 

 

I'll check out eBay.

 

Some things I want & prefer old school. I get more satisfaction that way and look forward to the learning experience, memories and investing the time.

 

I've gone back to using my grandmother's stovetop Carolina rice cooker, and a hand cranked White Mountain ice cream freezer. I like using my ancestor's cast iron from their kitchens and sheep camp.

I like the fact that I can also take it when I go camping.

 

Too many bells, whistles & promises sometimes leads me to wonder about compromises being made.

 

Thank you for your help.

I'm not an IP fan either.  I AM a big Fissler fan, though.  Expensive, yes, but really high quality.

 

 

Hi,  Thank you for your input. I don't mind expensive as long as it lasts. Quality over quantity. That applies whether it's a $5 or $500 item.

These pots are so well made I doubt you'd ever need to replace parts.

I don't know about accessories.

Thank you. They seem to be very well made right out of the box. So good to know your feeling about replacement. I saw an earlier poster, JoNorvelleWalker, said she was only "now" (2023) needing a replacement part after many years of use. That's a good endorsement in my book.  

 

My concern was seeing only 2 parts on Fissler's website, one of them being out of stock, and the possibility I just bought a model that was on its way out. 

 

Thank you for your help.
