The views are contradictory
Comments on the post are quite different. Some argue that using plastic containers is much easier because they are already stackable, while others love the idea because you can use them while eating and you can also use them while serving. This makes reheating and preparing food much easier.
The big advantage of chopsticks is, of course, the fact that you won’t have to wash as many dishes. So in terms of cleaning and maintenance, chopsticks are certainly more practical. However, a hundred people have a hundred opinions and that’s perfectly fine. Try this trick for yourself and see which option suits you better. You won’t know until you try it, though.
