Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Well, when I read the "1 star" reviews I thought that they just didn't "seat" the sealing-ring properly... so I bought these two " GENUINE" I P colored rings... the clear that came with the Instant Pot we would use for the veggie cooking, the RED we would use for our "spicy" cooking (we eat lot of Indian and spicy food... we are vegetarians) and the Blue we would use for any "sweet" cooking. That's what I thought.... When the two rings arrived the very first thing I did was inspect them... and right on BOTH it said "Instant Pot SR-03GB, Instant Pot SR-04GB." We had used the "ring" that came with the IP several times with absolutely NO problems... Then my wife used the Red ring and it FAILED to seal the IP... that was bad-news on two fronts... you now have lots of steam coming out of the IP from all around the lid and the IP is not coming to pressure so now what is the correct time for cooking the food? Sorry ladies... I initially thought that my wonderful wife just didn't "seat" the sealing ring properly... and that's that.... So henceforth I decided that I would ALWAYS "seat" the sealing ring..... we use the "clear" ring most for our veggie type recipe cooking... BUT then it came time to use the red ring again, I seated the ring... AND I MADE DAMN WELL SURE THE RING WAS ABSOLUTELY "SEATED" PROPERLY. IT FAILED AGAIN!!! We replaced it with the clear ring and it worked perfectly. BOTH of the "colored" rings have failed...SEVERAL TIMES!! AND I WAS the one who made SURE the ring(s) were "seated" properly BEFORE using the I P. Now the questions arise... Are these "rings" counterfeit? Or just poor manufacturing tolerances made by the I P company??
