I don't have an Instant Pot but many of my City-Data "friends" do.

Here is something I saw today on Facebook. Take it for what it is - something I saw on Facebook.

We have received a small number of reports of the Gem 8-in-1 Multicooker overheating, resulting in localized melting damage to the underside of the product. We believe the problem only affects batchcodes 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734, and 1746. To verify the 4-digit batchcode, locate the silver label on the underside of the product. The batchcode is the 4-digit number located at the bottom right of the label. We want you to know that we take any problem with our products extremely serious as safety and quality are our primary concern, and we are working cooperatively with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

We anticipate providing updated information and next steps regarding receiving a replacement Gem 8-in-1 Multicooker within the next few weeks. In the meantime, we are asking all our customers with a Gem 8-in-1 Multicooker from batchcodes 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734, and 1746 to immediately stop use of the product.

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,

Instant Pot?


You mean, it's something else and when you add water it suddenly expands and forms into a pot?


All my pots are Permanent Pots. They started out as pots just as soon as they came out of the stamping press; they've been pots as long as I've known them; and they'll be pots till someone sends them off to the scrap metal remelt furnace.

Keep in mind that this particular model is more of a slow cooker than the popular Instant Pot pressure cookers.

Well, guess if I actually had one I'd know its proper name. Anyway, hope those who have one will get the message from somewhere, if not me.
