Yes, I have heard of paper dishes before. They are commonly used as a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic or styrofoam dishes.

One surprising thing I know is that honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3000 years old and still perfectly edible.

Paper dishes do not become hotter than 100°C when there is water in them because water has a high heat capacity and acts as a coolant. As the water absorbs heat from the paper dish, it evaporates and carries the heat away, preventing the temperature of the dish from rising above 100°C.
