Tips for Choosing Disposable Flatware

As the weather gets warmer, we can't help but think about doing some alfresco dining in the comfort of our own backyards. We look forward to inviting our closest friends and family for some safe gatherings, fantastic food, and a promise of a good time. For some of us, we're not simply firing up the grill and chopping the melons for the fruit salad to celebrate Memorial Day or the 4th of July. What better way to have a wedding reception on a beautiful summer day than to make it a home game for you and your family?

If you're planning on throwing some serious parties this summer, you'll probably want to keep your flatware and tableware collections at bay. You may not have enough utensils and plates on hand to serve everyone, and you'd hate to see any of your expensive and fine cutlery somehow get lost in the shuffle, never to return. These instances are when we turn to purchase disposable flatware. These are budget-friendly, easy to clean, and weigh relatively less than fine silver cutlery. So today, we thought of sharing some suggestions for you regarding choosing the right disposable flatware for your outdoor and indoor party dining table this summer.

Make Your Date with Density

You could walk down the grocery store aisle and, right next to the paper plates, find those white plastic forks, spoons, and knives that have been a mainstay of every child's birthday party and summer cookout. They're the kind of snapping off a tine of the fork as soon as you stab at a cube of cantaloupe. They weigh nothing. And the white knives, forget about cutting meat. They don't even do an excellent job of cutting your vegetables. Hear it from us, Plastic utensils and cutlery items don't have to feel cheap, it does not have to look cheap, and it certainly doesn't have to function cheaply, either. So, when you are purchasing flatware, especially disposable ones, look for disposable flatware that has a bit of heft to it. You need light cutlery, but that doesn't mean that they have to be similar to the weight of a feather. When you can feel the weight of plastic utensils in your hands, they feel more like familiar metal flatware, so give your flatware some gravitas.
