The one that's melting on the bottom is the Gem.  It is not the one that most people have.  It's oval and I think only a slow cooker.   The article is misleading.

I've had mine around 7 years,,,,nothing but yummy/healthy food quickly in the I.P.!  I'll bet this reported meltdown is a rare anomaly.  If you haven't bought one, don't hesitate.  One of my best kitchen purchases.  (I'm thinking of a smaller IP for travel when cooking away from home.)
