If this is in the wrong place please feel free to slot it where it will get the most correct visibility. My second choice was paper craft those guys glue everything
Krazy Glue says its approved as a food safe adhesive. Are there any others, up to and including expoxy? Iād love a run down of pros and cons and what you think is best, safest and most durable.
There are food-safe silicone caulk/adhesives! For kitchen things above and beyond how caulk is used for sinks and backsplashes. Iām afraid that I donāt have a brand for you, but our former handyman used one for a seam in our countertop.

Sugru isnāt food safe as far as I know, & itās slightly flexible. But maybe theyāve improved it over the years.
Kintsugi is amazeballs & you can get kits on amazon for around $30. Labour intensive though. How much do you love this plate?

Eco Glue is plant based and is considered child-friendly and food safeā¦not sure how well it hold up, though, as I have only used it for lightweight thingsā¦
It is food safe, however only up to 100 degrees C = boiling point of water. So no hot beverages, no microwave use, hand wash only.

I have some Japanese tea cups that have been repaired with kintsugiā¦once the tea is seeped, it is not boiling any longerā¦it would be hard to drink if it wereā¦the tea cups are probably over 100 years oldā¦and yeah, I have put them in the dishwasher as well.
Personally I would repair it with epoxy and not use it for food any more. Iām not convinced that any of them are really food safe, and I have a background in materials and polymers.
Anything with with gold bits on wonāt be microwave safe, and is recommended to hand wash, so youāre only really crossing off pouring in water straight from the kettleā¦
Iāve done chipped plate repair w/ whatever standard superglue I have in the household drawer; as long as you donāt smear it all over the plate itās not really less food-safe than continuing to use things with cracks or crazed glaze on it, but the chips do sometimes pop off again in the dishwasher after a few years.

I worry more about chips and shards than I do about the glueā¦
