Question: Do they stain easily?  i.e. heating up a plate of spaghetti   How about marks from soup heated in the bowl?  Thanks.
Document: It's very light but sturdy. Three ideal sizes. I've only experienced staining problem with curry otherwise anything else like pasta sauce or soup stains aren't a bother. I do get knife marks on mine but that doesn't bother me.. it's a plastic plate it's bound to get knife marks.
Great line of plates. Had the old kind that you could not microwave. The plate sizes are very generous as is the bowl size. Would have been nice in another color but last ones were white as well so no big deal
The dishes are packaged stacked on each other just like the picture. They are glued together and have to be strenuously pulled apart. Out of the 8 sets I purchased - 6 of them broke when I tried separating them. I tried pulling the bowl off and it took out the center of the plate underneath. So I tried pulling off the bottom plate but the center of it stayed glued to the plate above it. Very disappointed because I really wanted some unbreakable dishes that are microwavable and dishwasher safe.
I'm a student in college and I just needed a plate set for the times I needed to microwave food. It's a good set to have. I didn't know some plates were microwavable and some weren't until I was looking up for a set of plates. It's like an off-white colour closer to a light beige. I like the pattern on it because it creates a grip when your holding them especially the bowl otherwise it's just a simple pattern I wasn't looking for anything fancy. I've had it for a year now and no problems with the quality.
I have had 8 sets of the Nordic Ware dinnerware collection for one year now and remained overall very pleased with my purchase. I have young children in the house and ceramic dinnerware was no longer a safe option. I like microwaving meals and then eating the food directly from the bowl or plate without having to transfer it. This saves on washing and Nordic ware does not get nearly as hot as ceramic items in the microwave. The set did come with a broken plate from shipping but I called Nordic ware and they replaced the entire set, no questions asked, immediately.
After receiving my Nordic Ware Microwave 3- piece dinnerware sets, I have really enjoyed the versatility of them. They are lightweight yet heavy enough to put a good sized portion on/in. I really like thefact that they are microwavable and I put them on the top rack of my dishwasher and they clean up well. I am impressed also at the fact that they do not show staining, for example from vegetable soup, french dressing, or spaghetti. They are just the right weight for young children to carry, or older adults with arthritis, to hold onto.
I was looking for a simple set of dinnerware and I got it. It's perfect for the use of 1 person, easily cleaned, microwave-safe. Aesthetics are nonexistent, it's sort of a dirty-white color with no embellishments. But that was clear from the start - no surprises!
I have a set of these microwave-wear and love it. I accidently left one of the plates on the top of the stove with the heat on, and although a bit scorched the integrity of the piece remains intact. Very useful for children or the clumsy, as it doesn't break easily.
Over the past three months, I've ordered this item from Amazon multiple times. Every order had to have at least one set returned, and I even had to "return the replacements." The problem was always that the middle plate in the stack was cracked. I waited a couple months to reorder, but still, this last time, three of four sets were damaged.This is not "shipping damage". These were crushed by something heavy before they were ever put in the shipping carton.After my return several weeks ago, Amazon promised to take the item off the website and check their inventory.
I purchased the Nordic Ware Microwave 3 Piece Dinnerware Set  before seeing the comments and later was concerned when I read the reviews saying that the pieces are glued together. My set arrived today. It does SEEM like they are, however, they are joined together with a rubbery sort of adhesive disc. Think &#34;Silly Putty&#34; on steroids. I was able to separate the pieces very easily. I filled my sink with hot water and soaked the whole stack. Then gently twisted them in a rotating manner (I did not try to PULL them apart).
Answer: The only stained bowl I had was due to a college student eating pasta & sauce and it was left unwashed for well, a very long time.   I have heated soups and pastas with sauce in bowls and on plates and washed or rinsed them directly after use and haven't had any problems with mine staining.    I have had mine for a few years now and they've gone thru many uses- dishwasher runs and microwave, and they are holding up very nicely for us.     I have salad size plates/ dinner size plates/ at least 10 bowls.  I love the light weight to them and versatility of microwave/dishwasher use.
