If you’re a proud owner of an Instant Pot, you’re well aware of its remarkable capabilities. This multifunctional kitchen marvel serves as a pressure cooker, sauté pan, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, and food warmer, all wrapped in a sleek stainless steel design. Despite its multitude of buttons, it can whip up a perfect poached egg in a mere minute. Truly a game-changer!
However, there’s a concerning issue with a specific model that’s causing it to overheat, leading many Instant Pot enthusiasts to exclaim “noooooo!” as they contemplate the potential disaster unfolding in their kitchens. Recently, the company announced on social media that several “Gem 65 8-in-1 Multicookers” have been reported to overheat. Currently, this issue affects only five batch codes: 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734, and 1746, with overheating possibly leading to localized melting damage on the underside of the unit.
To verify if your device is affected, check the silver label located on the bottom of the cooker; the batch code can be found as a four-digit number on the bottom right of the label. As of now, there hasn’t been an official recall, but the company has advised users to “immediately stop using the product.” They stated, “We take any issues with our products very seriously, as safety and quality are our top priorities.”
Let’s face it, we’ve endured enough bad news regarding kitchen appliances. (RIP, Jack Pearson—we’ll always remember you.) We can only hope for a swift resolution to this Instant Pot dilemma. After all, you can cook a five-pound chicken in just 32 minutes—17 minutes longer than most parents have to juggle homework, activities, baths, and everything else. We can’t afford to lose this culinary miracle. The pressure is on, and we’re on the brink of a total meltdown most evenings when it comes to family dinners. We simply don’t have time for this.
An Instant Pot representative has confirmed that affected customers will receive a complimentary replacement and mentioned that they are collaborating with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to address the issue. Let’s hope this is just a minor hiccup for Instant Pot fans everywhere. We just forgot to thaw our ground beef, and the kids are expecting tacos—in the next five minutes!
