6 PACK 6 Inches wheat straw plates, Unbreakable Deep Dinner Plates, Plastic Plates Reusable, Assorted Colors Dinnerware Sets, Microwave & Dishwasher Safe, Healthy for Kids & Adult

I bought these for my 7 cats to separate cans of wet food. Absolutely love them. No more dried up cat food sticking it scrapes right off.

Good little plates for my pet's food. Hated to use paper plates all the time and these are the perfect size.

I eat a lot of sandwiches and these plates are the perfect size.

For years we used natural woven wicker/rattan paper plate holders with paper plates (coated, which are lightly wipeable and last longer) that we reused until they couldn't be anymore, usually between 4 and 6 times before discarding. It was a good system, until it suddenly became impossible to find wicker plate holders that weren't splintery garbage. I had a set that lasted, I kid you not, for 20 years! And I've replaced them twice since, and neither batch stayed in one piece for more than a few months before most were frayed with the bottom dropping out. And now you can't even find natural woven holders because of the push to replace everything with plastic.I ran across these wheat straw plates, which have advantages over melamine or plastic but a few drawbacks.Pros:Lightweight and easy to holdUpcurved edges good for carrying food and eating away from tableNontoxic and made with plant byproducts as well as plasticnot made from treessturdier than paper plates on holdersmicrowave and dishwasher safeprobably not 'unbreakable' but they seem quite durable *for their weight*nice colorsCons:not recyclable nor completely biodegradable (part polypropylene)knives scratch them easily (so cut the food on something else first)The upcurved edges take up more space if you want to store them vertically (plate rack)I'm pretty pleased with these for what they are but I think people get the wrong idea about how earth-friendly they are. I suspect folks will treat them as short-life disposables or try to recycle them because most people don't read the details. They are however a better choice for us than melamine or plastic, and seem as if they'll be more durable as well.I'd thought to maybe use them as a substitute for the wicker paper plate holders but the upcurved edges make them a poor fit. It seems all (or most) of these kinds of plates have that kind of edge, and I suspect it's because it makes the plate more structurally stable.So long as you understand what they are and aren't, these can be a smallER-footprint choice over "recyclable" plastic (which doesn't really get meaningfully recycled) or melamine. Just treat them gently so they last a long time.

very nice small plates for kids or cats

My sister recommended these plates to me and I bought them to save on the cost of paper plates. I normally buy the 8 1/2 inch Dixie paper plates. The center of the 8 1/2 inch Dixie paper plate is the same size as this plate so it made the perfect substitute. I love the raised edges as it keeps food from spilling or slipping off the plate. I love the color variations. If you use a sharp knife to cut something on this plate, it will make a mark on the plate. That is to be expected due to the nature of the material. I also like the fact that they are light weight and not easily broken and can be used in the microwave. If you need a larger plate, they do sell a 9 inch and a 10 inch size plate. They also sell a smaller 6 inch size. I also bought the 9 inch size which has a matte finish and not the glossy shiny finish that the 6 inch and 7 inch sizes have. I think they should include that in the description. You can see in the picture of the difference in the finish between the 7 inch and the 9 inch size.

I just received this order today and I like the colors and the plates look like they are kid friendly and scratch resistant but I don’t like the size, it’s too small and I would not order again.

The media could not be loaded. I was specifically looking for smaller, deeper plates for my chihuahua to eat from. These are a great size for that! Enough room for a handful of kibble and even would fit some wet food if you slide the kibble over a little. Not quite as deep as I thought, but definitely enough to allow him to eat and root through without the food going into the floor. They are a semi-matte finish which will be easy to hand wash without stuff sticking too much. They are mostly rigid with the tiniest bit of give, so should be fairly durable. Would be a great size and depth for a toddler as well! Or a snack plate. For pets, definitely make sure they aren't chewers though! They could chew bits off if they really went at it. Other than that I think they'll be great! And you get 6 for (at the time) $6.99 plus tax- even if you found this size and shape at the dollar (& a quarter) tree, it'd be hard to beat this price.
