~ Melamine Plastic Tableware Care ~
Melamine dishes are shatterproof and dishwasher safe, but not recommended for microwave use. Melamine plastic is not 100% unbreakable and can chip or break if dropped on hard surfaces -- it is far, far stronger than similar acrylic plastic or ceramic dishes. See our Plastic Tableware and Drinkware Shopping Guide for more about selecting and caring for plastic drinkware.
