NewTupperware Microwave Reheatable Luncheon Plates 9.5 Inch Set of 4 Unbreakable Reusable Plastic
Are these lightweight microwave-safe plastic plates a sturdy, practical choice for everyday family meals?
Yes—if you want four easy-to-handle plates for everyday meals, snacks, and reheated leftovers, these Brilliant Blue 9.5-inch plates are a sensible pick. Their raised edges help contain food, and the cool-touch rim is handy when taking a plate out of the microwave. Reheat on the plate at up to 600 watts, but treat it as a plate for reheating rather than cooking. For a larger household or bigger dinner portions, the comparison sets below make more sense.

Are these big enough to be good everyday plates?
At 9.5 inches, they’re a useful luncheon size for lunch, breakfast, snacks, and modest dinner portions. The raised edge is practical for foods that slide around, though it won’t turn the plate into a deep bowl for saucy meals. If you regularly serve large portions or want more plates on hand, compare the 10-inch HEYCOME set and the 16-piece Jowgut set.
Can you reheat leftovers on them?
Yes, for reheating at up to 600 watts. I’d use short bursts and check the food between them rather than letting a meal run for a long time unattended; microwave-safe doesn’t mean a plastic plate is meant for cooking or intense heat. The rim is designed to stay cool to the touch, but hot food can still burn, so take care when serving children.
Will they hold up to kids and regular use?
They’re lightweight and shatter-resistant, so they’re a practical alternative when dropped ceramic is a regular worry. They’re not indestructible: avoid cutting directly on them and use a nonabrasive sponge to help prevent surface wear. For little ones, the light weight is easy to manage, while the raised edges help keep food from sliding off.
How should you wash them?
They’re dishwasher safe on the top rack, which makes routine cleanup easy. They’re stain-resistant and odor-resistant, but I’d still rinse tomato-based or strongly colored foods soon after eating rather than leaving residue sitting. Skip abrasive scrubbers; gentle washing is the better habit for keeping reusable plastic plates looking presentable.
How they compare
Four lightweight 9.5-inch plates for kid-friendly meals and reheating at up to 600 watts.
A dozen 10-inch plates in six colors for households that need more plates and variety.
Sixteen deeper plates for bigger households, gatherings, and meals that need containing.
Who it suits
This set is for a parent who wants a few lightweight, reusable plates for kids’ meals, everyday lunches, and quick microwave reheating—and would rather avoid replacing chipped dishes. It’s also a practical small-household set when four matching plates are enough.
What you give up
- Four plates is a small set for a busy family or anyone hosting often; you’ll have fewer spares when dishes are in the sink.
- The 9.5-inch luncheon size is less generous than a full-size dinner plate, and plastic won’t give you the heft or feel of ceramic.
- The microwave limit is 600 watts, so this isn’t the set to choose if you expect to reheat at higher power.
When another one is the better buy

Jowgut 16 Pack Large Deep Plastic Plates, 9 Inch Unbreakable Dinner Plates, BPA Free Rock Texture Dinnerware: Choose Jowgut if you need a 16-piece set for a larger household, gatherings, or camping, and prefer deeper plates for meals with more sauce or food that needs containing.

Questions buyers ask
Are these microwave-safe plates for kids?
Yes, but supervise younger children around hot food and check the food temperature before serving.
Will these plastic plates warp in the microwave?
No plastic plate is immune to heat damage, so stop using one if it warps.
Do reusable plastic plates stain or hold food smells?
They’re stain-resistant and odor-resistant, but not stain-proof.
Are they easy to wash?
Yes. The raised edges don’t require special cleaning.
Are plastic plates better than ceramic for everyday use with kids?
Plastic is lighter and less likely to shatter when dropped, which makes it a practical choice for children and outdoor meals. Ceramic feels more substantial and is a better fit if heft and a traditional table setting matter more than break resistance.
Are these a good value for a family?
They make sense when four lightweight plates are enough and you’ll use them often for meals or leftovers. If you need a bigger rotation, the 12-piece HEYCOME or 16-piece Jowgut set is a more natural fit than buying a small set for a crowded household.
