I think you just got some really poor quality foam plates. I buy foam plates
for twice-monthly dinner meetings at a club I belong to. We use about
90/month and have never had any problem. We use the Hefty brand heavy duty
,10 1/4 inch divided plates and buy them in packs of 175 at Costco. Actually
though, even when I have used cheaper quality foam plates in the past, I
never had a meltdown like what you are describing.

In the coffee break part of my Dept. (at work) before the Company started
it's no toaster policy, we used foam plates for the hot buttered
toast,bagels etc... It wasn't uncommon to have the melted butter that
dripped off, melt thru the foam plates. Foam plates are make for cold foods
as far as I can figure.

How hard is it to wash one plate? Think of the savings, think of the

Any hot greasy substance will melt the styrofoam plates. Fat retains heat
longer, so while the egg cools down enough to eat it between the pan and the
plate, the oil on the egg is still hot enough to melt the plate.

Not sure about the pancakes, but it's probably similar.

What does being a bachelor have to do with anything? If you're gonna prepare
yourself a meal, no matter how simple or elaborate it may be, why can't you
eat on a real plate? How long does it take to wash one plate and one fork
and knife?

They don't have to be expensive dishes. If you don't have dishes, run over
to a thrift store and pick up a couple plates, they don't even have to
match--you could get 4 dinner plates that will last you for years for the
cost of 2 packages of paper plates! You will save a lot of money, because
you won't have to keep buying disposable plates, plus it's much kinder to
the environment. And if those aren't good enough reasons, food tastes SO
much better on a real plate.

Just because you're a bachelor doesn't mean you can't treat yourself well.
You DESERVE to eat on real plates!!!! Please don't shortchange yourself just
because you don't have a partner!

Sheryl, I agree completely, and I would never want to eat my daily meals
on styrofoam plates. The OP, however, may just not want to wash dishes.
IIRC, they did not state the reason for using styrofoam. Styrofoam is
probably the cheapest, but heavyweight paper plates, plain or
plasticized, would be a far better choice.

Cheers,
Wayne

Huh? People living alone don't wash dishes? What happens if you get
married, will you wash dishes then? Or do you expect the woman to
do the dishes, and since you don't have one of those, you use paper plates?

You want to save money? Buy some real plates, and wash them after each
meal.

Don't they scratch your dick, try a kleenex.

So why does your being a bachelor necessitate your living like an uncouth
*******, I mean el cheapo disposable plates are fine for a sammiche but not for
a hot meal, so what's so friggin' difficult about washing one stupid dish...
hey, you don't even have to use soap, just save em up and bring em into the
shower with you for your monthly abolutions.

There is no such thing as no impact. Washing a plate takes energy to heat
the water, the sewage from washing (and the detergent) need to be processed
out at a plant, which produces pollutants and takes energy... :) Guess
it's just a question of which impacts you want to make. :)

That's exactly why he's using 'paper' plates (or, in this case, styrofoam);
he doesn't want to do dishes. There's nothing wrong with that, except you
can't put really hot food on foam plates. So in this instance, he didn't
know they aren't the same as paper or even heavy duty plasticized ones.

Did he say he didn't want to do dishes?
Because I don't remember reading that.
He may have alluded to that, with the comment "Being a bachelor", but
nowhere did he say he didn't want to wash dishes.

We all assumed that.

But nowhere is there any indication that of "exactly why he's using" them.

And he isn't already washing the glass, cookware, silverware....? Adding one plate shouldn't take it over the edge. Heck, he could live it up and
have enough dishes to use them and load into the dishwasher and only run it when it's full. And that's only dealing with the cost/energy/waste
issue. I just can't fathom enjoying a meal off of a styrofoam plate....

I didn't really get the paper plate/bachelor connection, but I must
confess, when I'm alone, it's not unheard of that I will make a
sandwich right there on the paper I'm reading. Maybe even eat cold
chinese food out of the container. But buy paper plates? Not on
your life, except for tailgating, and then I get the Solo plastic (?)
ones. Eating from paper or styrofoam plates would give me the
willies. You know, like the feeling you get when eating ice cream
with those wooden sticks. Sends a shiver up my spine.

But you pick on ME for assuming the same thing. I'd say it's a fair
assumption. So get over it. Just because you can't get to Margaret's

But you are the only one who went ahead and said that it was "exactly" why,
and while it may be a fair assumption, it wasn't your place (or anyone
else's) to say what it was "exactly", except for the guy himself.

I have six cats; el cheapo paper plates are worth their weight in gold.
I buy the cheapest ones I can find, in cases of 1000 for about $8.
At that price I use them too, mostly for sammiches, piece-a-pie/cake,
non-juicy stuff like that... but I often use em for fried foods (like bacon
and eggs), paper sucks out a lot of extra fat calories. I usta use those
woven bamboo plate holders, but recently I found plastic ones, they're
easily washable and last longer.... you really don't want to eat from a
paper plate that's in a woven bamboo plate holder that's been used for
canned cat food... well, okay, a sardine sammiche.

Ok.. I might buy off on the cat thing as I skeeve cat food, but geez Sheldon...
I never would have thunk you'd use paper plates to eat off of...voluntarily?
The only positive here in my opinion is that at least paper isn't foam. Those
foam plates just make me shiver and gag for some reason.

Foam plates melt at about 200 degrees. Taking very hot food from the pan to
the plate can be a problem. Once cooled a bit, OK. The oils from cooking
can be in the 300 degree range. While it is a very good insulating
material, there is a limit to the heat it can take. Spoon some green bean
on it, slice some cooked meat, no problem. Fried foods right from the pan,
different situation.

As for harm, there is none if you ingest the material. It is styrene
plastic and inert to the body. I've worked with the material for 34 years
and it has not dimiged my brane sells et alll.

I'm tawking a dry sandwich here, not pot roast with gravy... anyone tells me
they put out their best china to eat a dawg onna bun or a burger during an
outdoor grillin' I call a fibber. I see nothing wrong with eating certain
foods off of paper, like why do I need a porcelain dish to eat a slice of
pizza, or a ham 'n swiss on rye, and a big heap of steaming hot freedom fries
taste a million times better off a cheap paper plate... besides, a freshly
peeled off the stack paper plate is far cleaner than any dish fished out of
your cupboard. And cheap paper plates are as biodegradeable as paper coffee
filters (and those, along with the grounds, go in my composter). Hmm, maybe
I'll begin tossing the paper plates into the composter too.

A friend of mine was flipping his fried eggs in the kitchen.
Something went wrong. One egg fell, it hit the cat on the top of the
head. The cat is not sterile but she stays out of the kitchen, now.

I wonder if this would work on kids...

Kids (and dogs) only get upset if the stuff that lands on them is painfully
hot. Other wise, it is a fun game. Cats are worried about their dignity.

being football season and one too many margaritas, and one very pateint kitty!

I love that!

Our late cat, Margaret, carried herself with the ultimate of dignity. We
once had a large Amish doll dressed in typical Amish atire. On more than
one occasion Margaret suffered through wearing a bonnet and apron, and
was surprisingly good-natured about it. Oh, how I wish we had pictures!

Cats that let kids play "dress-up" with them are always a real treasure.
:-) I have several cats. Wonderful little beasties...

I don't live in a trailer...
Quit fantasizing about me and your trailer trash obsession! :-)

I hope your keyboard is still working.

If not, go here. This ought to take care of your fantasies for awhile.

No, actually I said that. When you quote someone, please use proper
attributions.

Otherwise, especially as follow-ups accumulate, you end up making
people appear to have said things they were actually disagreeing
with.

Road Kill may seem creative to a newbie troll, but they
forget that we've seen it at least 50 million times - just
like the eating dog lines that appear from time to time.

Call me what you will, but if the grillin' is done at home -
I eat off of real plates and throw them in the dish washer.

Good idea! Throw in those (white) paper napkins too, while
