A Review of Hefty Serve 'n Store Everyday Disposable Tableware

I really enjoy cooking. Since my husband works from 4pm until midnight, I cook big lunches, then wrap them up in containers so that he can take them to work. I have these tiny containers, so Craig has to dump the food out onto a plate and reheat it on the plate in the microwave. He then brings the container home for me to wash.

I really enjoy eating at my grandmother's and mother's houses. They always give me something to bring home, usually in a dish that I have to clean and return.

Whenever I cook, I cook enough for two meals so that I don't have to worry about cooking the next day. I place the separate bowls and containers in the refrigerator, most of which have foil for "lids." When I want to reheat them, I have to place them on a new plate and stick them in the microwave. I have at least 2 dishes to clean afterwards.

Enter Hefty Serve 'n Store Everyday Disposable Tableware.

I received my Hefty Serve 'n Store Everyday Disposable Tableware in the mail yesterday. I was surprised, as I didn't even remember signing up to take part in this pre-launch event. Needless to say, I was thrilled. This item couldn't have arrived at a better time, too. Craig and I were going to Grandma's for dinner. She always sends us home with food. It was a perfect way to put the Serve 'n Store to the test.

PACKAGING
Both the Serve 'n Store bowls and plates are wrapped in plastic with a thin, cardboard base. The base has the Hefty logo and instructions on how to use them. You will get 24 plates in a pack or 20 bowls in a pack. It's a nice amount that will handle several meals.

There are no extras when it comes to this packaging. It is very basic, which makes me happy. I feel as though money spent on this product went into making the actual product, not the fancy packaging. They can even cut back more on packaging costs by eliminating the cardboard base altogether. They can use some sort of cardboard belt over the center of the plates, or even insert a cardboard or paper info sheet inside the plastic, in the center of the plate or bowl. That would cause less waste, too.
