Why does a biodegradable plastic for melt in warm food? Are there any that do not?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Put one of these forks in a cup of hot water (not a biodegradable cup!) and gently push down on it; it will likely form a very funny shape!
There are biodegradable plastics that soften at higher temperatures, but they are more expensive and usually not cost effective.

M$It is not good to eat with melting cutlery. It will probably have a bad taste, and will affect the taste of the food. It might also become sticky. There is a strange kind of feeling when you are eating with a fork that is melting. When you are eating, the melting fork will have a sort of melted cheese texture in your mouth, and it becomes hard again in your mouth. You will probably be chewing the fork along with the food. You might ingest some of plastic too.
Heat resistant biodegradable cutlery are available at the following websites:

You can use wooden cutlery as an alternative.
