Outdoor Plates, Utensils, Etc?

[amberlyrose]

We've been using our ceramic plates for grilling outside, but I hate lugging them down four floors and worrying about them getting dropped.

I've been looking for a good (but cheap) set of plates, bowls, and serving stuff but I haven't found anything I like. The biggest problem I'm running into is dishwasher safe plastic. Does anyone have suggestions or sets that they like?

Target has a bunch.

I didn't see anything online except for a set that was rainbow colored and looked like it was for toddlers.

I don't have a car, so I have to online shop

Our realtor got us a cute set from Marshall's. If you have one near you, it's worth checking out

Some MLers were raving about Corelle. Amazon has them on line.

I was going to suggest Corelle as well. I think that's their whole schtick.

I love corelle plates; we grew up with them and they were used inside and outside. They don't break very easily and they are lightweight but you don't have to worry about possibly melting them.

Target, during the Spring/Summer, has a whole row of outdoor plates and such. It's a better selection than what you can find online.

Amazon seems to be cheaper for Corelle, AND most are prime.

I didn't think about Corelle.

Hmm. and I have prime.

I just pick them up from Target, or even Big Lots when we had one in town. They've always been mocrowave/dishwasher safe, and we use them frequently since our grilling area is right by the pool. Sometimes a paper plate just doesn't cut it.

Ditto Target.

Crate & Barrel also has a bunch of stuff and it's not much more expensive than Target.

We use blue speckled enamel stuff (like you would use camping, but we don't camp).
It's pretty great. No microwave, and I can't think if we've run it through the dishwasher or not.

[nomad100]

Ditto rex94 on Crate & Barrel. They have some cute stuff.

[janiejones]

oh, they have melamine that looks like it too- which is totally DW safe

Plastic, no melamine, dishwasher safe. I think they offer them at BB&B and I got mine at a local mom and pop store.
