Serving Platter In

Posted in Dinnerware | No Comments »

I broke a serving platter that WILL be used for food. What adhesive is safe?

I broke two pieces off of a serving platter while house-sitting at my nieces. I assume that she uses the platter to serve food. Is there a glue that will both fix the damage and not be dangerous to use with food?

No. Toss it and buy another one. Bacteria begins to form in the cracks and could cause illness. I wouldn’t risk it. If you don’t know what to buy her, give her money or a gift card so she can pick out a new one. Crate and Barrel has great prices on serving platters. Working in restaurants I was always told that any dish that has a chip in it should not be used to serve food, same is true of repaired pieces.

With the Hourglass®, coffee grounds are never exposed to heat, so bitter acids and oils are never released. With the acid lowered, you get nothing but pure…coffee made with the Hourglass® is distinctively smooth with a full-bodied, rich flavor and a sweeter taste than traditional heat-brewed coffee. Don’t take our word for it, see what the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) has to say about cold -rewed coffee.We don’t promise a cup of coffee in seconds; in fact, you’ll have to wait 12 hours, but the coffee is so delicious it’s worth the wait! What we can promise is the smoothest, best-tasting coffee you’ve ever had without the risk of a bitter aftertaste. Just prepare before bed and your coffee brews while you sleep. In the morning, you’ll wake up to fantastic low-acid coffee. The Hourglass® makes 8 servings of delicious coffee extract that stores fresh in the fridge in the portable Bean Kanteen for fresh coffee on demand. The Hourglass® does not require heat or electricity to brew. It operates by combining two of the most basic elements of nature, cold water and time. At the core of the Hourglass® is the permanent stainless steel filter, so you’ll never buy or throw away paper filters again. Additionally, there is no coffee waste, because you’ll use every drop, so the days of throwing out old, stale coffee are over. You can even brew the grounds twice with awesome flavor!See Demo: Hourglass Coffee Maker
