Safety & Non-Toxic Materials

Understanding what makes Beautiful cookware safe for your family

Is Beautiful Cookware Non-Toxic?

Yes, Drew Barrymore Beautiful cookware is completely non-toxic and safe for your family. Our ceramic non-stick coating is 100% free from PFOA, PTFE (Teflon), PFAS, lead, and cadmium. These harmful chemicals, often called "forever chemicals," have been linked to health concerns and environmental damage. Beautiful cookware uses advanced ceramic technology that provides excellent non-stick performance without any toxic substances.

What's NOT in Beautiful Cookware:

No PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid)
No PTFE (Teflon)
No PFAS (Forever Chemicals)
No Lead or Cadmium

Temperature & Heat Safety

Ceramic Cookware Temperature Limits:

Beautiful ceramic cookware is oven-safe up to 350°F (177°C). The gold-tone handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, but always use oven mitts when removing pans from the oven. Never expose empty cookware to high heat, as this can damage the ceramic coating.

Recommended Heat Settings:

  • Low to medium heat is optimal for ceramic non-stick surfaces
  • High heat can cause food to stick and may damage the coating over time
  • Always preheat your pan for 1-2 minutes on medium heat before cooking
  • Avoid sudden temperature changes (cold to hot or hot to cold)

Material Guide: Coatings & Finishes

Ceramic Non-Stick Coating (Interior):

The interior cooking surface features a premium ceramic non-stick coating made from natural minerals. This coating provides excellent food release without the need for excessive oil or butter. The ceramic is applied using a sol-gel process that creates a smooth, durable surface that's naturally non-stick and safe at cooking temperatures.

Gold-Tone Hardware (Handles & Exterior Details):

The signature gold-tone handles and knobs feature a brushed brass-finish PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating. This is a premium, durable finish that's different from the interior ceramic coating. The gold hardware is designed for both beauty and functionality, staying cooler to the touch during stovetop cooking. This coating is food-safe and won't flake or chip with normal use.

Matte Exterior Finish:

The exterior matte finish in colors like Sage Green, White Icing, Black Sesame, and Oyster Grey is created using a premium enamel coating. This finish is durable and heat-resistant, designed to maintain its beautiful appearance with proper care. The matte surface resists fingerprints and water spots better than glossy finishes.

How to Clean Drew Barrymore Cookware

Daily Cleaning (Recommended Method):

  1. Allow cookware to cool completely before washing
  2. Wash by hand with warm water and mild dish soap
  3. Use a soft sponge or cloth - never abrasive scrubbers or steel wool
  4. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel
  5. Store with pan protectors between stacked pieces to prevent scratching

Is Beautiful Cookware Dishwasher Safe?

While Beautiful cookware is technically dishwasher-safe, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the ceramic coating and extend the life of your cookware. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and may dull the matte finish over time. The high heat and water pressure in dishwashers can also gradually wear down the non-stick properties.

Removing Stubborn Stains or Buildup:

If food residue builds up on the ceramic surface, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the affected area, let it sit for 15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry. For tough stains, fill the pan with water and 2 tablespoons of baking soda, bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes, then wash as usual.

How to Clean Matte Appliances

Cleaning Beautiful Air Fryers, Coffee Makers & Toasters:

The matte finish on Beautiful appliances requires gentle care to maintain its sophisticated appearance:

  • Unplug appliance and allow to cool completely before cleaning
  • Wipe exterior with a soft, damp microfiber cloth
  • For stubborn spots, use a small amount of mild dish soap on the cloth
  • Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals
  • Avoid excessive water around electrical components and touchscreens
  • Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots
  • For the touch-activated display, use a slightly damp cloth and gentle pressure

Gold Hardware Maintenance:

Clean gold-tone handles, knobs, and details with a soft, damp cloth. The PVD coating is durable but can be damaged by harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to maintain the lustrous finish. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners or anything labeled as "metal polish."

Storage & Care Tips

  • Use the right utensils: Silicone, wood, or nylon utensils are best. Metal utensils can scratch the ceramic coating.
  • Stack carefully: Use pan protectors or soft cloths between stacked cookware to prevent scratches.
  • Season occasionally: Lightly coat the cooking surface with cooking oil and heat on low for 1-2 minutes, then wipe clean. This helps maintain non-stick performance.
  • Avoid cooking sprays: Aerosol cooking sprays can create buildup on ceramic surfaces. Use a small amount of oil instead.
  • Store in dry environment: Keep appliances and cookware in a dry location to prevent moisture damage.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Quick solutions to frequently asked questions

Why is my Beautiful air fryer light flashing?

A flashing light on your Beautiful air fryer typically indicates one of these issues:

  • Door not fully closed: Ensure the basket is pushed in completely until you hear a click.
  • Overheating protection: The unit may have gotten too hot. Unplug for 30 minutes to cool down, then try again.
  • Reset needed: Unplug the air fryer, wait 60 seconds, then plug back in and turn on.
  • Basket not properly seated: Remove and reinsert the cooking basket, making sure it's aligned correctly.

How to reset the Drew Barrymore coffee maker?

If your Beautiful coffee maker isn't functioning properly, try this reset procedure:

  1. Unplug the coffee maker from the power outlet
  2. Wait for at least 60 seconds (this allows the internal electronics to fully reset)
  3. While unplugged, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds
  4. Release the button and plug the unit back in
  5. The touch screen should light up and the coffee maker should be ready to use

If the issue persists, ensure the water reservoir is properly seated and filled above the minimum line, and that the brew basket is correctly positioned.

Why is food sticking to my Beautiful ceramic pan?

If your ceramic cookware is no longer non-stick, try these solutions:

  • Clean thoroughly: Buildup from cooking sprays or oils can reduce non-stick performance. Clean with baking soda paste.
  • Re-season the pan: Apply a thin layer of cooking oil, heat on low for 2 minutes, let cool, then wipe clean.
  • Avoid high heat: Ceramic performs best on low to medium heat. High temperatures can damage the coating.
  • Use proper fats: A small amount of butter or oil helps maintain non-stick properties. Avoid aerosol sprays.
  • Preheat properly: Allow pan to warm up gradually on medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding food.

Beautiful touchscreen not responding

For touch-activated appliances (air fryer, coffee maker, toaster oven):

  • Ensure your hands are clean and dry when touching the screen
  • Clean the touchscreen with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and dry completely
  • Perform a hard reset by unplugging for 60 seconds
  • Check that the appliance is on a level, stable surface
  • Make sure the power outlet is functioning properly by testing another device

Gold handles getting hot on the stove

While the gold-tone handles are designed to stay cooler than traditional metal handles, they can still warm up during extended cooking:

  • Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handles feel warm
  • Handles will heat up faster on high heat - use medium heat when possible
  • Position handles away from direct flame when using gas stoves
  • This is normal behavior - the handles are heat-resistant but not heat-proof

Matte finish appears dull or spotted

To restore the beautiful matte appearance:

  • Wipe with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, then dry immediately
  • Avoid harsh cleaners that can damage the matte coating
  • Water spots can be prevented by drying thoroughly after each cleaning
  • For cookware, slight discoloration on the exterior is normal and doesn't affect performance
