A few years ago I stumble on a beautiful piece of dinnerware, I got hooked immediately, and without hesitation, I placed an order. On arrival, I got to find out that my beautiful piece of dinnerware wasn’t oven safe.

I have learned my lesson; this why giving you a guide on how to choose an oven-safe dinnerware that suits you will give me pleasure. So now to the question “is Arcopal oven safe”.  Let us jump right into Arcopal oven safe dinnerware.

WHAT IS ARCOPAL?

Arcopal is a brand of Arc International. Arcopal is made exclusively in France. Arcopal represents liberty, peace, and love.

Do you want to know what it’s like to have freedom, peace, and love? Then you’ll require Arcopal dinnerware sets. They are also appropriate for everyday use and for all occasions.

Because Arcopal dinnerware sets are made of ultra-resistant Opal material that is highly resistant to mechanical and thermal shocks and non-porous, they are resistant to high-temperature variations.

Furthermore, Arcopal opal can withstand 135°C temperature swings, making it safe to transfer products directly from the refrigerator to the microwave oven.

Another outstanding feature of Arcopal products is that when they break, they are designed to shatter into small, non-sharp pieces due to their tempered glass.

Arcopal is three times more shock-resistant than ceramic or stoneware dinnerware sets. Their resistance is comparable to that of a Corelle dinnerware set.

Finally, Arcopal is dishwasher safe, easy to clean (hand wash), and maintains its beauty even after multiple wash cycles.

IS ARCOPAL OVEN SAFE?

Is Arcopal oven safe

Arcopal dinnerware is not suitable for use in the oven. They are microwave and dishwasher safe because the material used is designed to withstand microwave use, several hundred dishwasher cycles, and efficiently distribute heat to reduce the risk of burns.

However, Arc International’s Luminarc product brand, which is also the maker of Arcopal, is oven safe.

IS ARCOPAL LEAD FREE?

Arcopal is lead-free because it is made from Opal material, which is completely non-porous, hygienic, prevents bacteria accumulation, and will not leach harmful chemicals into your food.

WHAT IS ARCOPAL MADE OF?

Opal glass is used to make Arcopal. It’s tempered glass with a fire-glazed finish that’s break-resistant. Because it is nonporous and tempered, it can withstand thermal shock.

Arcopal, according to the manufacturers, does not chip and has a holding capacity five times that of China. Because of the manufacturing process, Arcopal is a long-lasting material. During production, it is gradually heated and then rapidly cooled.

Not only are Arcopal dishes long-lasting. They’re also microwave and dishwasher safe, as well as light and portable. Cups, mugs, bowls, plates, and saucers, as well as casserole dishes in a variety of patterns and colors, are part of the dinnerware collection.

WHAT IS ARCOPAL FRANCE?

Arcopal France simply means French Origin Guaranteed Products. Proud to be manufactured in France. Furthermore, it is a product’s independent labeling that certifies its origin.

ARCOPAL VS PYREX

ARCOPAL FRANCE CASSEROLE DISH

Firstly, I need you to understand the various brand products under Arc International, namely; Luminarc, Arcopal, Arcoroc, Chef & Sommelier, and Cristal d’ Arques Paris.

As I stated above, these different brand products all have advantages and disadvantages and are manufactured to meet various kitchen and household needs.

Take, for example, Arcopal dinnerware sets are manufactured for the sole purpose of serving meals, either hot or cold no matter the occasion. While Arcoroc can be used as a serving dish, board, Torte Arcoroc plate, knife, spoon, Casserole oven cookware, Fridge Jug, wine Arcoroc glasses, and Arcoroc crystal France bowl.

Here is my point; consumers mix up Luminarc casserole dish as a brand product from Arc International to mean Arcopal France casserole dish.

ARCOPAL VINTAGE DISHES

When consumers hear the phrase “vintage dishes,” they already have a preconceived notion. The first thought that comes to mind is that it is risky. While there are many ideas about vintage dishes, it is important to remember that vintage dishes are of high quality and have beautiful designs.

Some dinnerware products made in the nineteenth century cannot be compared to those made today because these vintage dishes were made with care and premium materials.

Although some vintage dishes have disadvantages such as the use of harmful chemicals during production to make them durable and beautiful, does the Arcopal vintage dish contain harmful chemicals such as lead?

The best way to find out if Vintage Arcopal contains lead is to use an XRF instrument to test the Arcopal vintage dish.

We should also mention that the amount of lead considered unsafe in items intended for children is 90 ppm or higher in the paint or coating and 100 ppm or higher in the substrate.

Furthermore, most dinnerware set manufacturers have a habit of concealing the manufacturing processes or the composition of materials used, while others don’t care about the health implications, which is why, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, about ten dishware firms were sued for failing to provide a lead warning.

Currently, there is Proposition 65, an anti-oxidant initiative that monitors dinnerware manufacturers to ensure that they adhere to lead-free product standards.

Finally, if you have any vintage items, we recommend that you do the following three things:

  • Confirm the date and composition of the products with the manufacturer. Inquire whether it is lead and cadmium free or safe for health.
  • Test! Test!! Test your vintage dish to see if it contains any harmful substances and if it meets the strict Proposition 65 standard.
  • Simply use the vintage dishes to decorate your home or kitchen.
