If you’re like a lot of homemakers, you probably have a dif h
breakage problem. Then you’ll be interested in melamine (pjo
nounced mel-a-mean) dishes, one form of
thermosetting plastics. They’re lightweight
and highly resistant to breaking, cracking, or
chipping.
Melamine dishes give you many patterns
and colbrs to choose from. They have a sur
face finish that protects them against stains
But the finish can be ruined by harsh abra
sives or strong bleaching agents
Carefully read the label on any melamine
dishes you buy. Commercial standards have
been set and dinnerware meeting these re

mark. Such a mark indicates a manufacturer’s

from detergent and dishwasher action.
