Microwave safe dinner set for caravan

Have a look at Corelle dinnerware.

Hi Julio

Some plastic kitchenware and tableware is labelled microwave safe, but i consider only at low temperatures but personally i still don't use plastic in the microwave. Daughter has a plastic microwave rice cooker which she uses at high heat, so if you can find the same plastic in plates they should be OK. It has the recycling symbol:

The only melamine plate i have in the house says not suitable for microwave. Silicon cookware should be OK in the microwave but it doesn't come in tableware.

Perhaps cook/heat in silicon and transfer to your plates. Silicon cookware is ideal for caravanning; flexible, unbreakable and doesn't rattle. We travel with plastic picnic set plates due to light weight and unbreakable. Cheap enough to replace if they get a bit scratched from steak knives. But we don't have a microwave in the caravan.

Julio, Google "unbreakable microwave plates" (Pages from Australia), it brings up a stack.

The first link, using polycarbonate, is here.

I too can vouch for Corelle stuff. If you threw a plate at a concrete floor it would probably break but in normal usage I have never broken one.

A couple times in Big W I have seen someone looking at them and as they were doubting their robustness....I got a dinner plate and dropped it on the floor from shoulder height..."KERACK"....hell of a noise but it bounced! Made everyone in the store look as it was so loud. lol

A friend bought a set of 4 places a couple weeks ago at BW, $52 from memory.

The cups are a different issue though, they are china and WILL break.
