Mix in a little cornstarch! A readily available product which is processed from the corn plant, corn starch is the basis of these disposable knives. This makes them biodegradable, compostable, and a super eco-friendly option! These qualities sound amazing, but does it stand up to a nice thick prime rib? Does it stand up to crispy chicken, or that perfectly baked bread? Yes! Yes, it does! Durability does not take a back seat, which allows these knives to be so very versatile. Speaking of versatility, the bright white color easily coordinates with any color scheme. How cool is that?!
