Will Outdoor Utensils Scratch My Plates?

[PChefPEI]

I have a host who got the outdoor plates and utensils and she's wondering if the utensils will scratch the plates.

Can anyone answer her question for me?

TIA!

The plates are just plastic - they can be scratched. The great thing is, though - they don't break!! Very important for reuseable outdoor stuff!!

I use both together very often and I have not noticed scratches on the plates.... not to say they will never scratch though

Just don't use a knife. My kids use them all the time. If they use just forks it's okay. One has a scratch on it but it was because "I don't know" use a knife.

I love the plates. We use them for the kids' everyday plates now. They can get scratched but only if the kids dig their forks into it or with a knife when I get lazy and cut on the plate.

They're surprisingly sharp.

Just a funny tidbit. I had a party here a few weeks ago and we ran out of utensils, so, I got out my pampered chef utensils. I made 2 very loud announcements about "don't throw out my good plastic silverware". Everyone laughed and kept eatting. The next day after the party, I was unloading my dishwasher and lo and behold, I was missing 1 fork! Luckly the garbage hadn't picked up and I had to go dig in the can. Very luckly, there it was only 3 or 4 plates into the garbage can. didn't have to dig too much.

OMG!!! Good thing you got it back! That would have really sucked!
