Does anyone have the pot turned full of black patches inside after boiling water?

After several uses this pot has maintained it's original color. Still looks new.

Mine didn't do that and I used it 4 or 5 times last season. I would return it.

Seems to be a problem with (hard) water, not the pot. Try adding a teaspoon of salt this will soften the water and may solve your spotting problem. Make sure the pot is (scrubbed clean) even out of the box. I've never had a problem with any of my six of these pots different sizes

I'm sorry that happened to you Ayda! Ours has never had any problems. I think I'd contact customer service. Good luck.

I never had that problem. I would contact the customer service dept, or try to send back for a replacement. Once you do start to use this pressure cooker you will absolutely love it!

No, mine looks great, almost like new even after a lot of use. I have quite of few stainless steel pots and pan and nothing like what you are describing has ever happened. In my never to be humble opinion it is not common.

I have the same issue. It's coming out of the hole and when I turned it off after a while and ran cold water over the pot, the orange safety thing plopped into my food and most of the liquid was gone. I put the thing back in but I wasn't sure how far it's supposed to be in. I pushed almost all the way (it's housed in a rubber thing under the lid) and partway and either way the steam just comes out of that hole. The instructions don't mention anything about steam coming out of that hole. I've never used a PC before so this is very confusing.

No. I use the little red lid to cover the holes just until the water starts to boil. Then I remove it.

I have owned three of these coffee pots. One had the same problem. I had to pull out the instructions and follow them exactly. This particular pot required cleaning OFTEN. I hope this helps.

I did this about five times until it cracked and I have terrible burns. The pitcher was at room temp on a warm day and the water was slightly off boil. BEWARE!!!

Terry I have never seen a black residue come off of any steel pots I have ever owned. So I have no idea what it is. Sorry.

I have this sink in black and have no issues with pouring boiling water into it.I love this sink. Every once in awhile after cleaning it and letting it dry-I rub it down with olive oil on a paper towel.

I boiled it the first time, then just used soap and water after that. I actually had to buy a new one because I put my first one in the dishwasher and it melted!

No. Only options are: descaling and reboil. Lights show whether boil or temp. maintenance is occurring.

I had the same issue. I found it to be dangerous with hot boiling water spilling down the pot and onto the table. I exchanged it for another that did the dame thing which I also sent back for a refund. I found it to be a overpriced piece of junk that was poorly designed. The product should be recalled!

I had that but I boiled 3 seperate pots of water, filled to the top. After that it was fine. Love this pot, use almost everyday without tasting anything. Hope that helps!

I have not, however, my daughter has this same teakettle and mentioned getting black tinged water out of it after using it for a month. I clean the interior with a mix of vinegar and soda once a month with no problems. This method has worked for my daughter as well.

I hope not. I haven't had it long but have been using my regular pots and pans and it seems to work just fine. Takes a while to boil.

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.
