Product Overview
Dixie Printed Disposable Plates are made to serve in the convenience of fast food, at social events like parties and picnics, family gatherings and all other instances where using your own tableware is impractical or unpractical.
The plates measure about eight and one-half inches across and have been advertised as being microwave safe, cut resistant, and soaking resistant so you can use them with ease when preparing and serving every day foods.
Customers Say
Many users have stated that these plates feel heavier than run-of-the-mill inexpensive paper plates and can be used for general meal use, snack use and party use.
Users generally like the fact that they can withstand soaking with the sauces, greases and water better than other types of disposable plates as a result, the plate is less likely to soften quickly in this type of environment.
Users tend to enjoy the printed designs on them as they appear more decorative than standard white disposable plates and are good for casual events.
Most users who complained were about size and heavy food items. A number of customers believed the plates to be too small for full-sized meals and others said that extremely heavy or moist foods would still need two plates.

Bottom Line
Dixie Printed Disposable Plates can be a useful alternative to regular plates when you do not want to wash dishes after every meal. These disposable plates offer many advantages. They provide strong support in that they are durable and resistant to soaking. Additionally, they can be heated in a microwave.
