Same here. I remember back in the old days the early Stouffers microwave meals came with these thick hard plastic 8 inch plates. One of them lasted us over 10 years. We microwaved meals on it, used it as a small cutting board.... The Chinese places had some great microwave containers up until recently. Now they are about half as thin and sort of wobbly when full of anything heavy.
