Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > Corelle Dishes in Rear Kitchen Fifth Wheel / Melamine in the Microwave This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next MealsOnWheels • View posts NE Ohio Senior Member Joined: 09/14/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 02/13/05 10:31pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Just wondering how many of the dedicated Corelle users are also owners of Rear Kitchen fifth wheels? I've been looking at Melamine dishes, but they aren't usually recommended for the microwave. Have also looked at some of the plastics (polycarbonates) that are OK for the microwave, but they will scratch with sharp knives according to the ads. Corelle seems to be the best option, even cheaper than some of the plastics, believe that or not! My question is this....will it be too bumpy back there for Corelle? And, does anyone own Melamine and use it in the microwave to reheat, if nothing else? [red]Our Cougar is already in!!! Wasn't supposed to be here til mid April! Now, if we can fight the urge to pick it up early!!!! Note: Due to invalid formatting, all formatting has been ignored.

As for the Melamine, yes, microwaves will damage them. You'll get away with some limited use in a microwave, but sooner or later they crack. blog.rv.net Your daily guide to the Open Road Subscribe to the daily digest They say you learn by your mistakes, in that case I must be a genius.

We have used them for ages, including one very un-nice road in Alaska where all the dishes came out and crashed to the floor in our last coach and none of them broke.

We now tie the two dish and pot cabinets (overheads) shut with shoe strings....cheap and easy.

I have had no problems with them breaking yet. My rear kitchen 5er does not have shocks either. I don't have problems with doors opening or stuff falling out and breaking like some of the people post. maybe just lucky???

On our first trip on our old 5th wheel one of the kitchen cupboard came open and a couple of plated fell on the kitchen table and shattered, scrathed table. We pickup up pieces for a couple of years. I put an extra catch on that cupboard and never had another problem.

We bought this unit from my parents, and mom always used the non-slip stuff between dishes. Since it's already there, I've continued to use it.

I broke one cup and that is cuz I dropped it on the floor. Need I say more?
