Birchware Compostable Wooden Forks 100/pcs.



Surprisingly good!

After reading some of the other reviews I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about these but as soon as I started using them I was quite impressed. The size is small, more like a dessert fork, but I’ve successfully used these daily for a couple of weeks to eat everything from spinach (cooked) to potatoes to rice to pasta. They’re probably not the best for salads or other things you need to really stab as the tines are relatively short. They hold up extremely well in very hot foods and have a very sturdy feel. They do have a woody taste (similar to the little wood things that come with Hood ice cream cups) if they get very wet, but you quickly become accustomed to it and it isn’t overpowering. Plus, they come in packages of 100, while similar products are only available in bulk and where does one really have the room or inclination to store 1,000 forks anyway? I would certainly recommend these as a nice alternative to plastic.


Update: I’ve had to take away one…

Attractive cutlery and great for family picnics

We love this cutlery and use it regularly for family picnics and outdoor dining. Children find them easy to use and we can drop them in the compost bin afterward. No washing up and we can eat anywhere without the guilt of using plastic disposables. They’re suitable for main course and desserts.

A Little Flimsy

These forks definitely did the trick at our wedding reception picnic. But they fell apart pretty easily. If you are planning on using them, don’t bite too hard or try to tear at a steak! The knives from the same manufacturer held up a little better, but overall I’d recommend using these for lighter foods.
