Using these plates is a breeze. Just take them out of the package and you're ready to serve appetizers or desserts. They're disposable, so after your event, simply throw them away - no need for a long cleanup. However, make sure not to put them in the microwave or dishwasher as they're not safe for those. Since they're recyclable, you can put them in the recycling bin after use to be more eco-friendly. Keep them in a dry place to maintain their sturdiness.
