merryb,
I mentioned elsewhere I usually only have breakfast. It would take a few
weeks to fill the dishwasher and I don't want stuff sitting in there so
long. I'll hand wash bone china anyway.
Paper plates are great for the microwave to cook or to heat up some
leftovers. I wouldn't use the bone china for that!
I use ceramic ramekins to nuke Egg Beaters and use a paper plate as a
cover. When it's done a minute later I just pour the contents onto the
plate.
If I snack on crispbread and garlic hummus, why use a real plate just to
catch crumbs or real knife to spread? Similar with grapes, carrots,
apple slices, etc.
I will reach for a real knife and fork for foods that require a fair
amount of pressure to cut into. The tips of the plastic tines will
easily chip off and often hide in the food. Carving up a slice of pizza
quickly revealed the plastic fork's weakness.
Paper and plastic cleanup only takes seconds.
