Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After about 2 years of reliable use, the bottom melted. Potential observations to prevent this from happening to anyone: * The temperature required to sustain steam was higher than usual. Normally on this burner I reduce the setting down to 5 once steam is escaping from the main vent. Today I needed to use a burner setting of 7 to maintain a gentle rattle of the weight. (For comparison, 6 is the setting I usually use cook scrambled eggs when I'm not in a hurry, 7 is the setting I use to cook bacon & 8.5 is what I use to stir fry.) * Molten metal began to leak about minute 18 according to my kitchen timer. * Steam was still escaping from the top throughout and there was water left over at the end. The food within wasn't burned, either.
