Dixie Ultra Family Pack 10 1/16" Paper Plates, Print, 44 Ct

When talking about quality, there really are no better words that best quality paper plates I've ever eaten from. They are built to last through any meal without bending, breaking, soaking through, and they're resistant to cutting. Case and point, I used a steak knife to cut through the chicken served in photo, then after the meal was over I must admit that I expected a wet spot underneath on my nice cherry wood table. I looked underneath and no wet spot. I turned over the plate and it hadn't even soaked through the area I cut through. Though if the meal is served very hot and wet, they will cave inward or outward from the bottom, but just slightly so. This bend didn't have an effect on durability, the sides stayed very sturdy and the meal never faltered from the plate. Sturdiness and durability do not not make a quality plate for some though. What if you're having a grill party and serving for your boss? You don't want to risk breaking your good dishes but paper plates seem so bland? Not these plates. The design on the plates are lovely and will be sure to impress any guest eating at your house, with the exception of those guest who come to your house expecting fine china. I personally recommend these for birthday parties or holidays, you know, for times when you have multiple guests. After they're finished with the plates, just give them a rinse and drop them in the recycle bin. These plates are thick and would be very bad for the environment if they are just thrown away. After all was said and done, I was very pleased with these plates!

These are excellent plates. They are firm and you can carry a full meal with one hand without the plate bending over. They are very durable due to a plastic coating on the front. Usually durability is not a big deal with disposable plates, but it shows how effective the plastic coating can be to keep the plate from disintegrating during a meal. Just as an experiment, I tried using this as a regular plate for one meal a day for a week. So, I used one paper plate just like I would with use a ceramic plate. I put on food of varying degrees of moisture. I microwaved food on the plate. I washed the plate by hand. Since the bottom does not have the plastic coating, I avoided getting the bottom wet. Well, the plate easily lasted a week. Cuts from a knife through the plastic coating will eventually doom the plate to swelling and unsanitary conditions, so it's hardly a replacement for you dinner ware. Oh, by the way, the plates look really nice.
