Where these two actually differ
- We flag Thermal shock and fracture and Edge chipping and glass fragments on the Big Boss and not on the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore.
- We flag PTFE fume risk (nonstick coating thermal degradation) and Coating degradation and leaching over time on the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore and not on the Big Boss.
- The Big Boss is borosilicate glass, bare uncoated where the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore is Nonstick-coated cooking basket; composition unspecified by brand, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 60 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Big Boss is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore grade, at 35% confidence against 95%, because it discloses less.
