Dishes cleaned by peeling
Someone obviously spent time to develop these peelable plates. So I wonder what advantage they saw in sticking the plates together, as opposed to just having a stack of cheap, paper plates?
Comments
We have a bunch of bamboo paper-plate holders. Works great! Gives the stiffness necessary to the cheap (500 plates for $2!) plates, but have the ability to just peel them off. If you run into a really creatively messy child, the plate holders are dishwasher safe, so no need to toss them.
We got a whole bunch at junk stores and garage sales in the 200x's since they somehow went out of favor then, I really dpn't know why.

My parents had a set of wicker paper plate holders that they would break out for summertime dinners. However, I don’t think they were washable. They were definitely more of a thing in the 50s and 60s, presumably before the development of Chinet and sturdy disposable plastic plates.

Got a set of the wicker holders. We use 'em on boat trips, where we don't want to spend the H2O for washing. No way to putting them in the dishwasher.

One of the better painting gizmos I've had was a roller tray with a bunch of compressed, flexible liners. After the paint has dried, pull off a layer and you're ready to go again.

@Virtual: Those are great; I’ve also seen the same principle used with artist’s paint pallets.
