Safest plastic or other “unbreakable” dishes?
My oldest has a coordination disorder and also struggles with hand strength. As a result she drops things a lot. Recently this has meant an increased number of broken plates, bowls, and glasses as she prepares and eats food.
Her “clumsiness” is a source of embarrassment and shame for her. I’d like to make it easier for her to drop dishes with less damage, but also keep an eye on food safety/health. I’ve historically avoided plastic because of concern about leaching chemicals, but it may be time to reconsider or explore “safer” options.
Can you recommend reusable dishes/drink ware that are safe for hot and cold foods and unlikely to break when dropped? Plastic or other durable materials perhaps. She’s 18 so I’m trying to avoid anything too juvenile in appearance.
Thank you.

I bought a cute bamboo bowl at HomeGoods so it might be at TJM/Marshall’s as well. I am actually going back to look for some more today because the bowl is a great size for ramen soup and big bowls of loaded oatmeal, etc. They had plates as well. Here’s a photo next to a Sbux mug for scale…in bowl: 1/2c oats, 1/2c oat milk, 2.75oz blueberries ;)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2bf08384ec.jpg

Ours has gone through the dishwasher at least 5 times without issue. I am sure DD2 has put it in the microwave. My bowl is already slightly misshapen (by design) and hasn’t changed shape.
Corrie, have you tried Corelle? I thought that was supposed to be non-breakable.
