Alas, alack, that is akin to losing the family pet. Enjoy your new one when
you get it - it looks very sophisticated. My old one had the valve that
goes up to show the weight - one notch for 5lbs, 2 notches for 10 lbs and 3
notches for 15 lbs. There was a bit of guess work involved.

A while back there was some talk of pressure cookers, and I was looking
for a gasket for the ole Prestige Sunbeam clamp top type... Well I
never did find one, but I will keep looking.

A new disaster struck my pressure cooking family over the weekend... I
gave the lid of my Prestige Hi-Dome to the DH to tighten the handle, and
the bolt holding it on snapped off in his hand! Not his fault - the
thing must be nearly as old as I am! They still do this model, but not
with this handle, so it looks like I will have to buy a whole new
pressure cooker. Raise your glasses to the passing of an old and
faithful servant!
