Along with a few other reviews, the recent change to the product/material (looks like recycled paper) allows anything with oil in it to seep through. This didn’t happen with previous material used.

Have purchased Chinet Plates for 20 years or so. Have been buying them in large quantities for years. For a year or two the quality has been getting worse and worse. Looks like grease stains from machinery perhaps, along with foreign matter pressed into the plates plus ripped edges and now plates just coming apart with yellow stains. Had to toss just about entire package out this time so won't be purchasing them again. Either machinery needs an overhaul or perhaps the issue may be quality control.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These plates are great! I love that they are made from recycled material and that they are compostible. I am happy to know that my one time use plates won't add more garbage to local landfills. 24 in a package is a good number because the package will last for a few barbeques unless you have a huge family. I used the plates at a small family barbeque. The plates felt sturdy and well made. I didn't see anyone holding them with two hands because they felt like they would bend and drop the food. I liked them and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a plate that you can load up with food and not spill, this is it! These are so sturdy! The material feels like rough paper. These can hold your biggest plates and not make a mess. A definite must! They make for such easy clean up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these plates as part of a promotion. However, I love them! They are very strong. We used them for pizza night recently and they help up great. The grease from the pizza and oil from the salad did not leak at all. I would buy these for my family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love Chinette products. The dinner plates are a staple in our house. They are heavy weight so no concerns on soggy or folding plates. They are very affordable, they do cost a little more than some paper plates. However, they won't bend or drop your food. They are also larger than most plates. No need to double stack plates. I would recommend to anyone who uses paper plates.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having awful results with our disposable plates I was so excited to find these chinet disposable plates. They were fantastic at our bbq and held up so well even with uncooked foods as well as cooked. There’s no buckling or give and holding in one hand is no sweat. I especially love that you can dispose of the plates in the trash and you don’t have to worry about them being in a landfill forever. They are compostable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Chinet dinner plates and I must say I was completely surprised at how strong and durable they are! They don't bend or fold up on you. They are very affordable for such good quality. I would highly recommend for any occasion.
