Love the idea of non-paper disposable plates. Liked the way they looked but the edges on some of the plates curled up so they didn't set flat on the table hence on a 3 for rating. Also ordered bowls and 6" square plates which were fine.I got these as a test. If they passed I would get more for outdoor parties. They have passed all the tests I had for them.First, meatloaf. It held up easy with mashed potatoes and corn as well. No issues at all. Lasagne also passed. Leak test also passed with flying colors. I have washed a few of these and reused them. I don’t know if I would do that for a BBQ but good to know they could be reused. The natural resources used for these makes this a win all around. I will buy more no doubt.Bowls and folks are very small. I love the plates though.These are thick palm leaf plates! They are very sturdy. Each one looks different adding interest to the plates. Take a look at my photo. Very intriguing and eye catching. They hold a lot of food and they work great in the microwave too, This is the first time I've used bamboo dishes. They can be reused if desired. I bought 2 sizes of plates along with bowls, knives and forks I love them all!I absolutely love these compostable plates and bowls. I use them for Thanksgiving and parties. So sturdy and leakproof that I usually rinse them in cold soapy water and dry them for a second and third use. Then just toss them in the compost. It’s incredible to have a multi use disposable Plate made of palm leaves. They are gorgeous and each piece is unique in color... completely recommended.I really like these plates! You can reuse them and I love that they are compostable and biodegradable. Great quality as well!Excellent plates with sturdy strength and holds a good amount of food weight. Really loved it !!!.. Besides the plate size is amazingly huge and can accompany many food items which. Brings the authentic feel of having food !!!!.The small plates are very good for holding the side dishes or curries!!!These unique plates have a great look and are sturdy enough to re-use when we want.Soooo much better looking than standard white paper plates... and better for our planet, too
