Although I don’t recommend switching entirely to paper plates because they are not as environmentally friendly as reusable ones, they are great for when you’re hosting a large group and want to minimize post-event cleanup.
If you’re planning to skip the dishes for events, holidays, or any time, really, consider our recommendations for the best paper plates.
We tested their strength, durability against plastic and metal knives, resistance to grease and oil soaking, and post-microwaving stability. Read on to see which plates passed our tests, and be sure to take the poll, below.
