It seems almost silly to review this plate, but I got asked about it at the Northstar Experience Upper Iowa trip this year (See my trip report here). It’s the 10″ Plastic Kids’ Square Divided Plate by Pillowfort, and it’s sold by Target. The reason I bought it is because I forgot it was a “Bring Your Own Plate” gathering. So, I needed a plate and was driving by Target. I figured they would have cheap plates. They did.
It’s $1! One dollar. One buck.
Green, the color I bought, is now $0.85 on sale.
Unboxing and Initial Impressions
There is no box. It is sold in a stack. You can buy individually for $1 or in sets of six for $5. Individually, there are only three colors, but in a set you can get six different colors.
Specifications
It’s food-safe, BPA-free plastic, and it’s divided into three sections. It’s dishwasher safe, and they say it is okay to use in the microwave for reheating only. It weighs 4.6 ounces.
Performance
It works as advertised. It keeps all your foods from touching each other. This plastic plate worked great! I can highly recommend it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight-ish
- Three divisions
- Cheap
- Really Cheap
- Super Cheap
Cons
- Not enough colors sold individually
- Sporks sold separately
Conclusion
In conclusion, if you are looking for a divided plate for all your camping needs, you should seriously consider Pillowfort’s 10″ Plastic Kids’ Square Divided Plate.
- Get it at Target: THE Plate
- Get a spork at REI: Sporks sold separately
Obviously, this review is a bit tongue-in-cheek, and I don’t make any money in commissions from Target (I will if you click the REI link and buy a spork), but this is actually a nice plate. I ended up buying two more so that we have enough for my family when front country camping.
