Polystyrene Bowls

[cameliaheartfelt]

Looking to buy polystyrene bowls for chilli. Anyone know which high street shop may sell them please? Or any other disposable bowls? I've just got party paper bowls and not suitable.

Wilkinsons. I bought loads when we had the kitchen refurbished.

Discount shops tend to have them. For example, if you happen to be in the same part of the country as me

then QD have them

Good thinking, Tilly!

Bought some in Morrisons a week ago.

So you don't like washing up as well then, Eddie ;-)

Can't use plastic Buenchico for hot food and don't know what QD is unfortunately. Are the Wilkos ones definitely polystyrene and not plastic?

[Buenchico]

Since polystyrene is a form of plastic, it's not surprising that polystyrene bowls are often described simply as 'plastic' ones.

The description and, probably more importantly, the price of the Wilko ones strongly suggest expanded polystyrene to me though.

^^^ 'description' should have read 'picture'

I looked at the title and wondered how you were going to play on a windy day :-)

[Buenchico]

I've checked in Morrison's today: The ones that they sell are 'proper' plastic and NOT expanded polystyrene. (Many retailers probably don't stock the polystyrene ones due to environmental concerns; that's why many takeaway coffee shops have switched to cardboard cups instead of polystyrene ones).

You'd probably be better with 'Chippy Trays' for Chilli - tend to come in large packs though.
