Palm Non-slip Forever Plate and Bowl Collection incl. New Pasta Bowl




_________________________________________________________________________________________

The Palm Non-slip Plate and Bowl Collection

The first genuine new product in this category for many years. It is made in Australia from BASF Ultradur which is superior to melamine in all important areas, including being more sustainable.

The range comes with our Forever Unbreakable Guarantee in normal use.

Beautiful Design

  • Red Dot Award and Good Design Award winner.
  • Coloured non-slip base,
  • The curved shapes are beautiful to look at and to hold,
  • The rims are fine and elegant.

Functional

  • High-gloss and high-density surface for a bone-china look and feel. (Melamine is dull by comparison)
  • Forever Unbreakable Guarantee - we will replace or issue a credit if it breaks or chips in normal use - it will last forever (Melamine can chip and break)
  • Non-slip base acts like a coaster, it increases stability particularly on uneven surfaces, and it reduces rattling during transport.
  • The Non-slip base is bonded so it cannot come off or collect debris.
  • The raised edges of the plates helps to keep food on and makes the plate easy to hold.
  • Microwave safe for re-heating - we suggest maximum bursts of 30 seconds for oily food and 60 seconds for non-oily food, stirring between bursts to avoid hot spots. (Melamine is not microwave safe as its porous surface can absorb water, which turns to steam during microwaving, potentially causing the plate to crack or explode. Microwaving also causes formaldehyde to be released and to be absorbed by the food, and hence be digested)
  • Forever dishwasher safe
  • Scratch resistant - avoid the use of sharp knives and steel scourers.
  • Stain resistant - avoid strong food additives like turmeric. If stained, successive dishwashing will generally gradually remove the stain.

Sustainable

  • Reusable Forever
  • Recyclable
  • Long-life 
  • Return to Palm for Remanufacture

New Non-slip Pasta Bowl for today's casual lifestyle.

  • Forever Guaranteed Unbreakable in normal use.
  • Dishwasher safe forever in normal use

Comparison of BASF Ultradur to Melamine

DESIGN

BASF Ultradur is chip-proof so edges can be finer and shapes more user-friendly.

UNBREAKABLE

Palm Forever Unbreakable Plates and Bowl Collection is guaranteed to be unbreakable forever – non-commercial use

Melamine is brittle and can chip and break

MICROWAVE SAFE

BASF Ultradur is microwave safe for reheating

Melamine is not microwave safe as its porous surface can absorb water which turns to steam on microwaving – potentially cracking or exploding

RECYCLABLE

BASF Ultradur and the non-slip ring are 100% recyclable

Melamine cannot be recycled as it cannot be remelted so must end up as landfill .

Melamine contaminates waste if it finds its way into the recycling stream

WASTE TO ENERGY PLANTS

The embedded energy in BASF Ultradur and the non-slip ring can be reclaimed in waste to energy plants, Melamine cannot.

FOOD SAFETY

BASF Ultradur is FDA approved without qualification - it is BPA free

Melamine has only qualified US FDA approval and is subject to safe ingestion limits.

Melamine releases formaldehyde when heated which can cause build-up in the kidneys.

The US FDA recommends that Melamine should not be used to heat foods and drink.

Melamine is usually marked as not being microwave safe

Melamine is often coloured – pigments containing heavy metals are cheapest and are difficult to detect.

 

Melamine and Bamboo – declared especially dangerous for young children

Research from the Dutch Food Safety Authorities (NVWA) and the Bureau for Risk Assessment (BuRO) concludes that dishes created with bamboo and melamine pose a health risk. The government announced the import and sale of products containing these ingredients has been forbidden in the Netherlands.

The combination of the two substances can cause stomach pain and irritation. According to the NVWA, this is due to high levels of formaldehyde found in the mix of bamboo and melamine.

The chemical is especially dangerous for young children due to their low body weight. Especially when serving hot food or beverages. The NWVA warned not to use melamine products for toddlers.
