Instant Pot overheating warning

[Acheron2010]

nstant Pot is warning its customers about one of its models.

In a statement, the company said several customers have reported the Gem 65 8-in-1 Multicooker overheated, melting the bottom of the machine.

While there's no official recall at this point, Instant Pot said if your cooker has one of the following numbers, it should be returned:

1728
1730
1731
1734
1746

To verify the four-digit batch code, locate the silver label on the underside of the product. The batch code is the four-digit number located at the bottom right of the label.

If anyone has any questions, they are asked to call the Instant Pot Customer Care team at 800-828-7280 ext. 2.

Note that MOST Instant Pot owners will NOT be affected by this, as it does NOT affect their pressure cookers.

Oh! A COOKING pot overheating warning. First, “instant pot” in the heading got my attention; I had never heard of that, although if it's anything like instant oatmeal, I would probably pass. Second, I wondered what would happen if you overheated it. Bad trip?
