“I Used Eco Cutlery to Make Hosting Easier” Prerna, a homemaker, shares her experience about Eco Cutlery.
I have realized eco-friendly dishware makes life so much easier when you are hosting people at home. I used it on a couple of occasions, specifically, I used Eco Cutlery and it is now my go-to resource for serving a range of dishes, both hot and cold, to my guests. Whether you have your daughter’s friends celebrating her graduation, your son’s celebrating his football victory, or just a big bunch of your own old friends ringing in the new year on your terrace, you can thank Eco Cutlery for taking the tension of serving food away and letting you join in the happy times.
On the last occasion, I hosted a group of about twenty people of different ages who dropped by to wish my family during the festive season. As you can guess, I delighted in treating them to some of my time-tested homemade goodies that are a favourite with one and all.
Whether it was piping hot ghugni (gravy side-dish made of dried yellow peas) and luchi (Bengali-style Poori) or payesh (also called ‘Kheer’ in many parts of India) and ice-cream for dessert, I served them on Eco Cutlery without any fear of mess.
Here are the features that I loved
- Eco Cutlery is biodegradable dishware made of palm leaf and areca leaf – Absolutely natural in origin. I did a little inquiry of my own and learned that it is made of palm leaf and areca leaves that are gathered, cleaned thoroughly, pressure-washed, dried in the sun, and then moulded by heat into various shapes and sizes of biodegradable dishware. After use, they made be used as excellent compost material. The used products make wonderful fertilizer and manure. So good for your kitchen garden if you have one, or your house plants.
- As bio-degradable products, they are chemical-free, non-toxic, with zero health hazards. Isn’t it a wonderful feeling to think that the utensils you’re serving food on have no chemicals and are safe for everyone in the group – from a preschooler to his elderly grandparent? No worries, just healthy eating.
- Made for the modern homemaker, they come in a range of round and square plates, bowls, and tablespoons. There are many items in your carefully-planned menu. Naturally, you need a range of plates and bowls to serve them. The main dishes need flat plates, while the gravies need shallow bowls. Worry not. You can select whatever you need from the range of Eco Cutlery products.
- Aesthetically-designed, Eco Cutlery is great for Indian, Chinese, Italian, Continental, or any other cuisine you may prefer to serve at home. I served a mix of Indian traditional, some Chinese, and some Continental starters. You can opt for Chinese or Italian. Whatever it may be, it will look perfect to your guests with the right touch of eco-friendliness and sustainability.
- Packed neatly in secure, shrink-wrapped lots. The products came in neat lots, nicely wrapped securely in shrink wrapping. Eco Cutlery gives you the assurance of hygiene.
- Able to withstand both hot and cold dishes. My guests had an assortment of hot and cold dishes without any discomfort.
- You can serve portions confidently as the products can take regular weight without buckling in (as in thin paper plates).
- No hassle of cleaning the serveware after the party is over. What an absolute boon this is! Your house-help will also be so thankful for the favour.
- Available across the country in major locations.
- The products are durable and last long – just keep any surplus you may have nicely wrapped up and away from water. Remember, no sogging, no dunking in water.
Benefits aside, when you decide to make the switch to eco-friendly dishware, you make a conscious decision to embrace the goodness of Mother Earth and bring it right into your home. Staying as close to nature as possible is a basic need of human beings. Sadly, in urban dwellings, we are fast forgetting this. Panchtatwa is a Sanskrit word that means ‘made up of five elements.’ They are air, water, fire, space, and earth. The immense importance of these five elements is emphasized in the Rig Veda which clearly states our lives and our bodies are an intricate balance of the harmonious functioning of these five elements. This can be achieved to a large extent by staying as close to nature as possible.
When you make a well-thought-out decision to adopt eco-friendly and sustainable serve-ware like Eco Cutlery, you take a step to be closer to nature. You also make a wonderful statement to your guests – that you care for them, and for the planet.
