Another Temptations Cracked

grandma petes — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 02:54:58 GMT

I am so disappointed. This is the second 13x9 Baker that has cracked. The first one cracked almost like a spider web, so I sent it back to Temptations and they replaced it with this one....making baked chicken this evening, opened the oven door to remove it, and I heard that awful “plink” sound....yep, huge crack in the corner. I have my original receipt and I emailed Temptations.

Am I correct in remembering they have/had a lifetime limited warranty? I hope they replace it. I just bought another set of the bakers with the lid it’s and insulated carry case. I’d hate to think they’re going to be a problem.

Why would you continue to have this brand replaced....just not worth ruining your food! I've thrown away my Temptations and use my old trustworthy Pyrex and Corningware...jmo....

@nana59 I have several sets, but for some reason, it’s just the 13x9 baker that seems to be the culprit. I use the bowls and other pieces all the time and have had no problems.

Maybe it's the pieces that you put in the oven....

Knowing the history and reputation of this product, if i'd had two break and ruin a meal, I surely wouldnt trust it a third time.

I've stopped buying Temptations because cracking in oven. I have a couple of pieces in confetti and a set in Springfetti which I love. Not buying anymore.

I have a small set I bought in black floral lace that I love, but after hearing all the stories I decided against baking in them. I'm quite sure some people have such an investment in them it seems more reasonable to buy a piece or two more than give up on the set they've spent years building.

It would be like giving up your losing slot machine to the old lady next to you for 5 cents and she wins a million.

But I'm not saying I wouldn't be that old lady. That's for sure.

I would highly recommend Fiesta. I replaced my 12x15 baker and 9x9 baker with Fiesta pieces...they are so sturdy and I don’t worry about cracking. I’m sure they will outlast me!

Purchased at Kohls with coupon codes and free shipping.

I am not buying any more pieces myself. I have a lot of the blue old world and the Christmas poinsettia pattern. I have many pieces that have held up well. However, the bigger of the poinsettia bakers I had developed a crack while stored in the cabinet. I had not even used it in the oven. Also, I can now see "lines" on the bottom of one of the blue bakers which I think may crack if I cook in it again. I do like my Temptations and love the look of them but when I think I that I have corning ware and pyrex bakers from 30 years ago that still look new and have never cracked I don't think I want to invest any more money in these.

I have a couple small sets, I only serve in them. Cracking is the reason I don't buy them anymore.

Beware if you do have cracks. I had a platter that developed a little crack after one use. I was using it as a serving piece only. Yesterday I carried it to the sink to wash it and the cracked piece completely broke off as I got to the sink, slicing my finger pretty bad. I don't see any cracks in my other pieces, but if I do I'm not taking any chances of keeping them. Not buying any more though.

Not good quality.. Why people collect this stuff is beyond me. Like they collect more than just one pattern. Where do these people store all of it? And the patterns are pretty gaudy IMO.. Donate them to a thrift store.

@alicedee I agree with you that my Fiesta dishes will out live me. DH and I have several colors and love. That's one reason I think I need so many colors in lock and lock.

These problems are always occuring with Temptations. I've posted before a similar experience. Mine cracked in half in the oven and made an absolute mess and the dinner was ruined. NEVER again would I purchase from this line. I went back to my good old fashioned Corningware that has lasted in my family for decades!

I have two Corning Ware blue cornflower pieces that will be 42 years old in April.

Your taste in gaudy isn't everyone else's and many people buy (or bought in the past) before they knew there were problems with quality. And there are people who have never had pieces break on them, most likely more than have had them break in the oven.

And you might ask the same thing about others who have closets full of handbags and shoes and more clothing or jewelry than a small village of women would ever use.

They collect what they like in the amounts they wish to have or use.

Why would you want to replace it a second time? I would throw it away and purchase a reliable brand.

I bought a chicken design measuring spoon set from Temptation website on 2016 black friday sale.

All of my spoons have cracks.

I've never used them....it has been sitting pretty on my kitchen counter.

I am not going to buy anything from this line. Quality is very bad

It is not worth the risk of getting cut or burned......I wouldn't bake with them anymore...

I have several sets of Temptations--probably too many. I haven't had any crack and I use them in freezer, microwave and oven. However, I do not have a 9 x 13 size which seems to be the one that cracks most often. I don't plan on buying more because I do question the quality now. I don't think the newer pieces are as well-made as the older. I still have some Pyrex and Corningware stored away just in case. These are almost 50 years old. I did find that TT cleans up easier than Pyrex and Corningware and I really like the colors of TT. Still will not order again and will definitely buy any for gifts.
