Questions & Answers

In the package, how many of each do we get?

The set consists of 250 pieces. There was something wrong about the individual plastic wrapping of each set our purpose in purchasing compostable cutlery was defeated.

Does that mean 500 items in total or 500 sets?

The number of sets is 500.

How about the plastic packaging of each set? Is it compostable as well?

The document says it is, but I'm not sure if it really is.

Can you tell me where they are ?

In their description, Amazon does not specify where the products are made, only that they are distributed by them. Pass on these, they are cheap and flimsy, and the spoons rolled when used This will be a very disappointing experience for you.

They are lightweight and cheap, but they do the job
4/5

The number of sets is vast! The lightweight set was the set I bought. The price was great, but I didn't really think about what I'd do with 500 sets of not so good plasticware afterwards. It was gasp-inducing when the package arrived and I opened it. How in the world did I get the stuff I bought? Weight is indeed a factor in the lightweight set. For foods that need a lot of pressure to be picked up, it is not designed to work. The plastic wrap on each set makes it convenient to take with me for lunch or to keep in our camper. I don't know what else this set does for me. It's so cheaply made and flimsy that my husband hates them. This won't be of any use to him. Almost any food you might need a spoon for (except for hot things) can be eaten with the spoon, from pudding to cottage cheese to oatmeal. Cakes and pies, as well as softer foods like tuna salad, macaroni and potatoes, and soft meats can be handled with the fork. In any case, the knife doesn't do much good. The machine is capable of cutting many types of fruits and bread. There will be a sandwich or two, but don't expect to eat a cut of I love it! There is a bit more plasticware on this product than you expect. In addition to being shorter, it is also lighter than my normal belt (see photograph). It would have made more sense to think about how much 500 sets would cost before buying because I have no idea what I will do with them all. There are just a few days left until Halloween. My trick-or-treat bags might not be noticed by the kids if I slip a few sets inside. )

I think it was only around $12, but even at a higher price this set is excellent for lightweight bulk plasticware. You will get bendy utensils with your purchase of $00 when I bought mine. I think these would make a great lunch box treat The age at which a plastic knife could be misused has passed. I wouldn't be too concerned about a kid using this utensil because it won't do much damage. In my opinion, they are what they are advertised to be. I give them 4 stars. The listing makes it very clear that the flatware is lightweight, so you cannot believe it'll be of high quality. I find it to be usable and not awful. The spork is a far superior product! I can't believe how many sets there are! Unlike flimsy plastic spoons, forks, or knives, I can use these stainless steel ones with ease. You would be better off splurging on higher quality heavier weight plastics if you need more robust utensils. You will be glad you paid the small fee not to bend your fork or knife when you are trying to cut into the.

However, the concept is decent
3/5

Listed below are our semi-finalists On our annual retreat, we decided to use disposable cutlery so we wouldn't have to spend so much time in the kitchen and can enjoy ourselves more. Many people did not like the idea of using all that plastic, so they opted to use compostable cutlery as a compromise. Despite a couple of small scratches on the plastic, the cutlery is sturdy and the knives and fork tines are sharp enough to use. If it does take a commercial composting facility to break down these, they're still better than regular plastic, don't you think? did they think sealing each set in plastic packaging that cannot be composted or recycled was a good idea? Be sure to purchase the bulk boxes of compostable cutlery rather than the sets if you're willing to pay extra for them. By doing so, you will only be increasing the amount of plastic in the world.

The following items were packaged in plastic Despite the fact that they come in individually wrapped sets, this is still a great product
3/5

Presented in a plastic bag! My face flushes as I imagine I have made the wrong decision to buy compost instead of using more plastic. Compatibility should extend to the packaging as well! Using the product (once you open the plastic bag) is a great experience! There is only one thing they have to do make everything compatible.

It is bendable when it is medium weight
3/5

Weights in the medium range offer great flexibility. A minimal amount of pressure is all that is needed to bend the knife into an If you eat a can of refried beans or fresh ice cream from the freezer, you'll never be able to put these down. There was supposed to be 500 cards in the box. Two packages were damaged by the plastic packaging sealer in which the cutlery was short and ten packages were missing two knives, one fork, and a spoon I got 485 good packs however, two packages were damaged in that the cutlery were not the correct size Two spoons, knives or forks were included in some packages, and a knife, fork or spoon was absent in others.

There is never enough silverware in this box! Oh my God! Suddenly I'm seeing silverware flying out of the walls! This is not the 50 sets I thought it was! The 500 sets I got were great! With all the trophies I've won, I'm like Oprah! There are some for you, and some for you, and there are some for everyone! There's no sign of wear or tear on the box even after scooping handfuls out of it
5/5

The silverware box is a magical one to me. This is a great value for the money.

The product is worth purchasing again, but it could be improved
3/5

I will visit this item again so I can purchase it. In reading the other reviews, I would say yes, it would be preferable if Amazon would use the natural origin packaging for wrapped cutlery kit deliveries. Although PLA needs a commercial composting facility to be composted in a timely manner, I feel using a polylactic acid polymer of natural origin is preferable to using a petroleum-based I am surprised to find that on occasion a cutlery item is included in the package when I use this product. As far as I can tell, the packaging system could have easily detected and avoided such situations. Another issue is the differences in the orientation of the items in the packaging, again a problem with the packaging system.

The quality of this product is terrible! This is what I ordered in advance At my restaurant, I've bought packaged utensil sets to make things easier for my employees, but my staff has not been able to use them
3/5

There are a number of poor quality sets in each box. At the moment, I do not even have forks in half of the sets in the box I have opened. With such a variety of sets, I have seen some with just a spoon inside and no other accessories, as well as sets with knives and spoons but no other tools. The best thing to do is spend a little more money elsewhere for a better-quality product A product that has been made.
