Tired of Temptations

Luvstobake — Sun, 22 Feb 2015 20:55:22 GMT

I know everyone has their favorites but it seems they have made everything they can in that line, Can't we have a variety? there must be at least one other company out there.

There certainly are....

Pyrex

Corning ware

Fiesta Ware

Also quite a few others.

So much more to choose from which is safer and more dependable that TT.

I like Temptations just as much as the next person but I agree 100 % bring in more varieties, this is beyond getting old.

In the past QVC did offer Lenox, Pfaltzgraff and others (a few pieces still exist online) it seems QVC has now limited brands in many categories that they show on air. Sadly they don't seem to care about keeping their customers interested by offering some VARIETY in their products and programming which would be a welcome change!!!

And every single time there's a presentation or 2, 3, or 4 they go over every color.

I'm a huge collector of Temp-tations, and even I would appreciate some variety on air. I loved the Lydia Bastianich line, and it is of such nice quality, I can't understand why that didn't go further.

There are so many lines out there, I wish they'd look for more made in USA lines and offer them, even if they were limited quantities, give us something new to look at.

i have a few winter/holiday pieces of TT, but only use them for serving and have never considered actually cooking in them. I much prefer my Pyrex and Corning Ware. I like both, but only serve in the Corning Ware. The white pieces contrast nicely with the food inside, and I feel food is much more appealing when served in white as opposed to the never ending patterns.

I have to believe that QVC now owns TT, as they do Susan Graver, and thus have to pitch the product endlessly to justify the investment. Obviously they make a larger profit on the things that they own as opposed to vendor supplied items.

If there were ever any really new and impressive patterns I might buy some TT for serving at other times than holidays. We often have large family grips here, and it would be nice to have some spring/summer things in addition to the winter. But I won't buy Old World or Floral Lace.

Can we please get some other stoneware products on other than Temptations. It seems like everytime I turn on a kitchen show Tara McConnell is on for an extended period of time. I'm really tired of watching her and her product line. I'd love to see other things like Fiesta, Corning, etc. It seems QVC gets stuck on a product or guest and over does it till you can't stand it anymore. It wasn't like this in "the old days".

me too, but, she just had a complete sell out while ago.

This product line has become a house brand for QVC, and as long as it continues to sell in huge quantities, why should QVC stop?

QVC exists to sell items and make a profit which it seems to be doing quite well. T/hose who feel that QVC exists to entertain us or alleviate our boredome are mistaken.

Also, Le Creuset and Emile Henry are my two faves.

I too was very disappointed in Lydia abandoning the line. Purchased 8 bowls, pitcher and large platter and heard promises of dinnerware place settings on the way. Maybe they did, but I watched her page dilegently and never saw any. Since then I am very wary of celebrity lines, here today gone tomorrow and the consumer is left with odds and ends.

They will continue to push it as long as people are buying it. I know it's shocking, but there you go.

Another shocker, I change the channel when something I'm not interested in is on. There are lot's of other things to do/watch besides a shopping channel.

I'm not sure why that line didn't go over better. While I didn't buy any, I thought it looked nice.

My pet-peeve w/Temptations is some items are just not thought out well, for example: Would love to purchase the button & cable casserole, which is $25.00. But were are the plates or bowls to match, well I found them on Amazon. Dinner plates @ $21 for 2 and dessert 2 plates for $28. Ok, the mugs were reasonably priced but what good is a casserole w/out plates or bowls. The asethetic for me is lost mixing something so stylized with something else. Bottomline, I'm not going to spend $25 for the casserole and $84 for 8 plates I had to track down somewhee else.

Again, the figural salad set should have been offered with the option of ordering more bowls separately, DAA!

Well I will tell you why I am tired of them. Last night I heard a pop. In the oven was the cookie sheet and it exploded. I had one mess and not only broke in pieces but shards of it was at bottom of oven. QVC gave me temptations number where I got a song and dance. Now to replace it I am getting a different color plus 10.00 shipping!!! I am done with this brand!!!! And the oven was at 400 so it was not too hot for the sheet. This is not the first time this happened. I have finally learned my lesson. As for looks it is pretty but as far as cooking you are taking a chance!!!!

you are 100% correct...the Q has always sold TONS of this product (Temp-tations) and will continue to do so as long as there is a demand for it

The thing we (my wife and I) didn't like was the colors bleeding on some of the OW pattern. As someone who has ever done ceremics will tell you if you don't fire between your design color and your clear coat your design color is going to smear. That's why we returned everything loved the dishes hated the terrible paint job.
