For one thing, my cookie sheets have no edge on them and they are huge.
Would not fit in there. My roasting pans are large too. But there are
times when I want to make a large amount of something. Like nut cheese
stuffed veggies. I have more than a plate will hold and yet I don't want to
stack them. Plus for serving, a platter would be ideal. Now that I think
about it, I did at one time have some cheap (Walmart) plastic platters that
I bought for a birthday party. I'll have to check. I think I got rid of
them. They weren't exactly totally flat.

What'dya know! I still have two of them. They don't look so good though.
I think I paid like 99 cents for each one. Maybe less. They were fine for
when I used them. I needed a lot of new things to serve food for a person
who kept kosher. I just did what she told me to do.

I did use them a lot in NY for snacks for the kids. I used to cut up fruit
and take it outside. But they look rather scratched and dull now. And they
are very lightweight. I would like something of at least slightly better
quality. I just tucked them in a drawer along with my chip clips and Plink
balls and I don't think I thought anything more about them. I likely sent
the yellow one in to school or to my husband's work or something and never
got it back.
