Palm Plates - Phase 2


I've done another test on the Palm Plates sent to me by MarxFoods.  Today I heated lasagna in the microwave to see how they fared with the grease from cheese, the acid from the tomatoes, and how they held up in the microwave.  The pictures tells it all.

With these plates being made from a plant I wasn't sure how it would work out but as you can see, the plate didn't burn, brown nor catch on fire.  It didn't loose it's strength, it stayed sturdy and I could still use a knife to cut my lasagna into bite size pieces. 

Tonight I also made a plate of spaghetti and meat balls to see how something that heavy would hold up.  It's didn't even begin to bend when I held it by one side.  You might also want to check Martha's Recipe Cabinet for the meatball recipe.  This is a new recipe that I'm calling Beef and Sausage Meatballs.  They sure are good!

Tomorrow, Phase 3 will be the final and ultimate test... Home made veggie soup using a Palm Leaf Bowl
