TEMPTATIONS CRACK ME UP!

STYLE — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 16:19:03 GMT

In the last year I have had three Temptations bakers crack in the oven. Three! There is a problem with the stoneware fomulation that is being used. What a mess! Needless to say I'm done using the bakers as bakers. I also purchased two sets of drinking glasses. The decals all washed off in the dishwasher leaving plain glass drinkware. Good quality glass but plain as can be.That I can live with but not overware that cracks.

I have one 9 X 13 Temptations dish that came with a metal rack with handles to put it in, a plastic lid, and a ceramic lid as well, 4 pieces. It was a TSV years ago. I don't think I have ever put it in the oven. I just use it for a taco dip that I make. It has crazed, and did so shortly after I got it.

I think the Temptations line is put junk. The patterns are not especially attractive either. I know a lot of people love it, but not me. I don't get the attraction.

I agree. It's an inferior line and I'm surprised it's still on the Q. What good is bakeware when you cannot use it in the oven? I am one that also had a baker crack in the oven and this was many years ago, so it was even junk then.

I'm sorry for everyone who has experienced issues with Temp-tations over the years. I've been buying them from the beginning all the way up to last week and have never had a single piece break, crack, or craze. I just got out a bunch of my Pumpkin Patch collection to set the table and be ready to entertain for the harvest season—it's too bad they don't make that pattern the way they used to.

I am quite disappointed in the direction of the line with all the decals/transfers they're using now; there's nothing very special about the pieces anymore and all the new designs are far too cutesy and juvenile for my taste. The new white Carved Willow is lovely, but there are plenty of other white options on the market, so unless they produce a really unique piece, I won't be buying that pattern, either.

I purchased a lot years ago. Some of it has crazed. Never had a piece crack in the oven, and I use them A LOT in the oven. I have, however, had handles break off of crocks in the microwave. I put them in the dishwasher, and the handles have a firing hole in which water gets. The water in the handle expands in the microwave and causes it to eventually break off the crock. When they've all broken, I'll switch to something else. There are lots of mugs and crocks out there nowadays. I've sold a lot of my TT's on Facebook Marketplace.

My sister has had 2 pieces crack in the oven.

I gave all of my pieces away.

It cracked me up when someone on-air mentioned that it's Temptations month. When is Tara and Temptations never on? She's always there!

I had a Temptations 9×13 dish in the Gingham pattern from years ago. I used it a lot, but mine did crack in the oven during a holiday, I had a sweet potato casserole in it.

I had a bad experience with cracking pieces. One was a 9"x13" dish and one was a lid it.
Both happened when we had company. Not only did it make a mess, it was embarrassing.

i called qvc and they told me they couldn't do anything about it to call Temptations, which I did. They told me that nothing could be done about it because it was part of a set.

This has been a years' long problem and recently watching Tara I was wondering if her ovenware still cracks.

Reading your post clearly it does, so dangerous, a waste of your time with clean up and waste of money. It's just horrific that it is still sold. And seems to be promoted more and more.

Love glass Pyrex, have several pieces and have had them for many years.

I've had several pieces crack...especially the 9x13 bakers. I've also had several pieces that really crazed....and they were never used at all!!! The product is inferior unfortunately.

@STYLE- I agree that TT pieces are. not reliable to cook in. What drives me crazy is how they "claim" that their stoneware is non stick and there's no need to add butter or fat. If I don't coat or spray TT, everything sticks. I have 2 round muffin pans that I made corn muffins in and everyone of the muffins stuck to the pan. I have to use paper liners otherwise half of them stick to the bottom. This is false advertising on their part. I'm done with TT and I would like to sell almost every piece I have.

Temptations is inferior made-in-China JUNK. ALL of my bakeware is from Italy or Portugal. NONE of them has ever cracked.

There have always been a lot of these complaints. I'm surprised they are still in business.

I bought one of their first TSVs about 20 years ago when they were new and Tara was just starting out. It is a set of 3 square bakers with metal baskets. The first dinner that I served with them, the one basket was uneven and wobbly and the rubber "feet" fell off, so we ditched the basket and placed the serving dish directly on the table...the unfinished bottom scratched and ruined my glass top table. The baskets were a joke...but obviously needed due to the rough bottoms of vessels. NEVER ordered again...pretty bowls I don't use.

The ''cracking'' issue is why I won't purchase any Temptations. It's a shame to put all the time,money and effort into preparing an entree and it having to be throw in the trash because of a vessel cracking issue. It doesn't matter how 'pretty' the Temptations is because it doesn't look to good in the bottom of a trash can after it breaks. Pass.

Sorry to hear about all the cracking ... I must be lucky I have a lot from many years ago and no problems. Keeping my 🤞🏻.

As for the glasses Tara did mention they were decals and should be handwashed.
