My sister bought settings for 16 and so many of the pieces she has thrown away.
Is there a secret to getting this stuff not to break.

More Temp-tations Colors....please :)
I love watching QVC and enjoy the variety of so many kitchen items and accessories, however I would like to suggest that Temptations add a Tuscan yellow to its color options as well as an eggplant (purple) color. Both my mother and I are constantly watching in hopes to finally see these colors as options. Thank you Temptations!!!!

Temptations Holiday Figurals items
Tara, I absolutely "LOVE" Temptations! Your new Holiday Figurals collection which consisted of anything from home decor to food presentation, preparation and entertaining items were fantastic! I have a request for nest season, do you think you could come out with a dessert sized set of plates featuring your 4 Holiday Figurals? The Santa, Snowman, Penquin and the Gingerbread man? Also would you even consider adding a reindeer/moose, and maybe another character and possibly do a set of 6 holiday plate set for entertaining along with some other entertaining pieces to add to "Your" current collection? I "LOVE" these items from this season and would love to see additional items to add to my collection. Also, would you consider bringing back your Poinsettia large pitcher with serving plate? Thank You, Respectfully, CraftygalinPA

Mixing Too Many Colors in Patterns
I like many colors of temptations but I don't like seeing a pretty color trimmed in brown. I noticed this on many of this years offerings. Brown doesn't coordinate with every color, especially purple. I prefer the colors to coordinate on the piece. Keep Browns with Browns and other complimentary colors and stop adding it to your other pretty colors.

Snowy Night
I brought out my set of snowy night for my Christmas dinner. I baked my filling in the square casserole dish and served my cranberry sauce in the small bowl that came with the set. I really love that pattern and wish Tara would bring it back. I definitely would buy more pieces.

Any video available on packing temptation for return?
I received a set of temp-tation bakers and the paint is literally smeared on about 4 of the pieces. Didn't notice until I unpacked everything now I'm trying to figure out how to get everything back in the box for an exchange. My daughter gave them to me so want to have this set. Anyone know if there's a video showing how everything goes back in box? I'm sad they were shipped to me in this state.

Any New Year's Resolutions about your Temp-tations purchasing?
For those who do buy and enjoy Temp-tations, do you have any goals or resolutions for the New Year concerning your TT and/or purchases.
I'm up for a little more organizing, and maybe getting rid of some. I have some pieces that have crazed and they are going out the door, as well as some OW accessory pieces that just don't get used.
I'm not going to buy any more Old World, as I've really come to like Floral Lace and Vintage Grace better. ONly exception to this might be the old world Harvest as I use that pattern now all fall.
I will be only buying things that mix well with my most favorite patterns, hopefully solids, and I resolve to NOT start any new patterns.
I have already gone to waiting for clearance on most things, as I have way too much, and that gives me time to decide if I really like/need it. It used to be if you waited till markdowns, you would loose out, but not so for most things now. Lots of things are still available in most colors by they time they mark down, and many things now are just repeats of previous items.
I never buy a TSV either. Haven't for several years. They are usually riddled with defects because they make them too fast. Best pieces are the ones that they show very little on air, seems they make less and make them better.

Temp-tations? I don't get it.
For those obsessed with Temp-tations, please tell me what is the fascination? This line of cookware/bakeware is the ugliest stuff I've ever seen. Why anyone would want to clutter up a kitchen with this hideous junk is beyond me. Ugh!

Thought these were naturally non-stick??
Just got my first set for Christmas - and while I love the look I am finding they are not "naturally non stick" as the hosts say. Tonight for dinner I made regular dinner biscuits (the kind from the can) on the 9x13 lid-it. I almost had to throw them out as the biscuits stuck to the pan. I never grease the sheet pan I use for biscuits and had no reason to think I would need to grease the lid-it. I have to say I am a bit disappointed!
I will try to email the company tomorrow but I am not sure I will receive a response - I received the baking set as a gift and on the plastic lid for the 9x13 baker was cracked. I emailed Christmas day, and have not heard back from anyone yet. It should not take customer service 10 days to reply to anyone who has an issue with their product.
So far, this is two strikes. I was so excited to get this set - now I am beginning to wonder if maybe I should have asked for another brand. Anyone else with these issues - how do you recommend I proceed? TIA for any advice

Temptation pie dish cracked into thirds, caught oven on fire
I'm trying to decide whether to notify anyone at QVC or Temptations about a near disastrous failure of a Temptations pie dish. On the one hand I think it's important to notify them so that PERHAPS they might make their quality assurance standards tougher. On the other hand I'll be shocked if I hear from either QVC or Temptations and not sure it's worth the time to bother.
So has anyone had any serious Temptations ovenware failures? Were they within warranty or not? Did you notify QVC and/or Temptations and, if so, did you receive a response?
On October 29th I preheated our oven to 350 and prepared cinnamon rolls for baking. I put the rolls into the room temp pie dish with space for expansion. It's just hubby & I and I do not bake sweets often. This particular pie dish had been only been used maybe two or three times in the year that I had it. The rest of the time it was on the kitchen shelf as decoration. I put the cinnamon rolls on the center rack in the preheated oven, shut the door, and set the timer. In less than 30 minutes, the pie dish cracked into thirds dripping melted butter and sugar onto the oven element. The mixture started a fire in my oven which dramatically increased the temperature in the oven. Thick smoke engulfed our home which is a small, old log cabin. Attempts to put out the fire were unsuccessful. Each time we sprayed the fire extinguisher, the fire seemed to almost explode out of the oven door when we opened it. With the extinguisher completed emptied, I was not sure what to do about the raging fire in my oven. The oven had performed it's duty containing the fire to that point but as I watched the flames making their way into the control panel, I knew that if the flames escaped to the wooden floor below the stove or to the logs behind it, we would more than likely loose our home. I finally put the flames out but filling a stove top pot with a few cups of water, opening the oven door and dousing the flames with water in one quick motion. Each time the flames re-ignited. After about half a dozen times of doing this, the fire was finally out. Both oven windows were shattered. The wiring and insulation surrounding the oven were brown. The wiring was melted. Thankfully, I shut off the breaker to the oven immediately when the fire started.
Since Temptations only warranties their products for a year and this pie dish was three or four months beyond that, neither Temptations or QVC is liable.
All of my Temptations ovenware and tableware has been relegated to cat and dog dish duty. I will never feel safe put a Temptations product in an oven.
The monetary loss of the Temptations products was not significant but the loss of my oven immediately before the one time of year that I actually do any baking was significant. This Temptation product failure could not have come at a worse time, both in emotional and monetary terms.
To add insult to injury, I listened to host after host in the MANY QVC presentations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays boast about Temptations capability to withstand a 500 degree oven. I can ONLY image what would have happened if I had placed that pie dish filled with anything other than water in a 500 degree oven. Explosions come to mind!
Please post your Temptations experiences and any thoughts/comments you have.
Just chalk it up to a bad experience and move on or engage Temptations and QVC in serious discussion regarding their claims and warranties?

Temp-Tations Rips off Lock & Lock
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but today's presentation of Temp-Tations new storage system really turned me off. I'm beginning to question the integrity of Temp-Tations. I constantly read about problems with the stoneware... that it cracks, that it is a hazard in your oven, etc. etc. etc. Yet, QVC and Tara continue to push it like there is no issue. Then, today Tara presents this "new" storage system which is basically a rip-off of Lock & Lock. She even made some of the same comments and claims. For example, pointing out the silicone seal and that you can microwave it "just turn the lid over". I'm really not impressed with QVC for continuing to support this company.

Totally crazy idea but I'm surely tempted (no pun intended)
I have not baked in any of my temptations but I love to serve with them. I have a nice selection of Ow blue but now that I had my kitchen redone would love to switch to floral lace dark blue complete set. I could probably sell the others (at big loss) but I'm loving the new pattern in both the blue and red. It's crazy I know have to keep reminding myself it's a want not a need but the pieces are terrific especially the bowls!
