How thick is the plate? Is it sturdy when you carry five pounds food in it?

The plate is exactly 1 mm thick (almost 1/16th of an inch), according to my measurements. It is not flimsy, but stiff. I think it can easily hold 5 lbs but remember that there is no lip on one of the long edges. I would be concerned about spilling my 5 lb roast off the edge! With that in mind, the plate has many grilling applications! We use it mainly for veggies, fish, and delicate kabobs. Good luck!

The thickness is a little less than a dime. It may not be big enough for 5 lbs of food but it would hold the weight, it was worth the money.

Yes. It is sturdy. It doesn't feel hollow and has a little bit of weight to it.

It is not heavy but sturdy. I use it daily on my electric cooktop stove. It heats fast and evenly. Luc it for breakfast eggs on one side bacon on the other.

It does weigh 5.4 pounds and it is very sturdy. Cooks well , but it is a little challenging to move around and store.

Pretty sturdy. Not big enough for two full course meals. Good for two people having drinks and appetizers.

5lbs as far as I know. You can go to Tupperware website to find out for sure.

It's thick enough. I've put it on my dinner table and it's been there for a few months. It looks great and you can just wipe it to get it clean after each meal. Go for it!

I don't know specifically, but I believe it is food-grade quality. The plate is heavy when you lift it, and it does not show any problems going through the dishwasher repeatedly.

Not exactly sure, but it isn't flimsy. Held 12 heavy dishes, glasses, platters, bottles. I'd trust it with a case of wine, or a few of gallons of water. Hope that helps

It is pretty sturdy. We use it for our microwave, but it would hold considerably more than that. I would guess that you should be ok with about 50 pounds or so on it.

I haven't tested it in pounds, but I don't think it could hold more than 5-7 lbs. without bending the arms. I have several bags of chocolate chips in mine - so probably 4 lbs - and it's fine as is. I found that the white coated ones are thicker and the "arms" feel sturdier to me.

It's not that thick. It's like a regular plastic. It's durable enough, I've put it in the dishwasher.

The glass bowl is pretty strong and it's a decent thickness. That being said though, no matter how strong the glass is, if you drop something into it that's heavy enough and large enough, it's going to break. Smaller items though, not a problem at all. My wife and I would highly recommend this unit.

They are thin, but extremely sturdy. They're the same thickness and material as the regular dinnerware.

I think it would be OK. I have a stack of large corelle dinner plates, small dessert plates, and two stacks of small dessert bowls and it has held up for years. I was nervous about this much weight as the legs didn't seem perfectly level but there has been no moving or shifting - I think the weight helps it not move much though. Hope that helps. Enjoy the holiday season!

It's perfect for playing cards or serving dinner for four. I'd guess, however, that it would easily support 25 to 45 pounds without risk of collapse.

It is very sturdy clear plastic. It has a rim to fit to the edge of the plate, and a hole in the top to let steam out so food does not get soggy. I love mine. I drop it in the dishwasher and it cleans well. I will neve buy one of those flimsy plastic ones again. This one beats them all.
