Arcopal French Dinnerware or Arcopal Dinner Plates (Blue Onion )

The above photograph shows my favourite plates in the kitchen. Both the plates are parts of Arcopal French dinnerware set which my mother had given me many years back — they are indeed so durable (at least 10 yrs already)! Not only are these plates very durable, they are also very useful. Arcopal French dinnerware is very strong, not easily broken and chip-resistant despite their thinness. Over the years, so many other China that I had bought were all broken in less than a year’s time or even within a few months. But my Arcopal plates can even resist the hot temperature of the oven! Given any ordinary plates, they would have been broken when put in the hot oven. But Arcopal plates are microwave or oven safe.

In my kitchen, I do not have any jk adams cutting board or jk adams wine rack. Nothing luxurious or expensive in the kitchen. My kitchen mates are my Arcopal French plates. They serve as my cutting board, entertainment and plates.

I hardly use cutting board. I have bought wooden cutting board and plastic cutting board before. They are so troublesome to wash each time after using them. Now, everyday I use Arcopal plate to cut fruits, garlic, meat and vegetables. They are light and easy to wash, unlike cutting board which is so heavy.

However, I must admit that the kitchen must really have a good and durable cutting board for the times when we need to chop bony meat like chicken, pork and even seafood like crabs. I fancy two chopping board at JK Adams. I have taken pictures of their cutting board from their website as shown below.

Novelty Maple Wood Cutting Boards of various shapes of animals — Cow, Pig, Rooster and Chicken

These four novelty maple wood cutting board can also be used as kitchen collectibles or for decorating the kitchen also. Although they are nice, I do not like to buy cutting board like that for use. For personal use, I would prefer my cutting board to be rectangular or square just like the one on the right — End Grain 16″ Cherry Chunk Boards ($125.00), Durable cherry 16″ Square x 2.5″H , 15.00 lbs. This is definitely thicker than any typical cutting boards and perfect for ‘heavy’ chopping.
However, it is too pricey. I would prefer this cutting board on the left — Artisan Maple Wood Serving Boards, 24″L x 14″W x 5/8″H , 2.50 lbs and price at $67.00.

Besides this jk adams cutting board that I like, I would also like to have a pot rack. These quality JK Adams wood products come with 5 years of Manufacturers Warranty!
