Recent Temp-tations Post

I wonder why my recent Temp-tations post describing an OW Temp-tations baking dish cracking... was removed.

I didn't see your original post, but I'm sorry that you had trouble with your dish failing. It is not uncommon to see and hear such things, as there are a couple of Facebook pages dedicated to the love (and frustration) of owning/using Temp-tations.

If you contact Temp-tations directly (use their 800 number, not the email option, as they rarely respond to email) they will replace the item, usually just for the shipping cost.

Sorry your post was removed, but there is a particular poster on here that tends to make that happen when people are being critical (and justifiably so if you dishes are cracking and breaking with normal use) of this product line. You'd think she had stock in the company or something the way she defends the product line. Perhaps that is how it was removed.

Why would anyone want a replacement for a defective baking pan?

They are obviously not fired properly since so many fail upon use.

These threads have been around forever....I wish I had listened to what people were saying.

I used a 9x13 pan to make lasagna for my family party. It wasn't frozen or even refrigerated...it went right from assembling the lasagna to baking for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. As I was pulling it out - the pan cracked in half - the hot lasagna went everywhere - on my shoes and inside the oven door!

I also never thought it would happen to me. I collect pottery from the 1930s-1960s. I never put TT in the dishwasher, since prolonged water will get into the clay - making it craze, crack & shatter. I am very careful with any pottery, since it's a passion of mine and I loved the TT so much (at first).

After my incident, I examined other pieces and threw out all of them with any signs of crazing...the one that broke had appeared to be perfect.

My shattered pan was the one with roses and lattice design...but crazing was on OW green pieces, Christmas pieces (red snowflake and red candy cane designs), and polka dot coffee cups.

These posts serve a very valuable function....buyer beware.

I wonder why the most experienced, knowledgeable person on Temptations has not responded to this poster since this thread has been up for two days? I just saw some other posts by her helping someone else this morning and the last day or two, so maybe she will eventually decide to help this "new" poster?? Odd.........

I asked her if she was getting paid by Tara and she never responded!

Sorry for your problem,Poodlex2, maybe she will be here soon to lend her expertise.

Remember yesterday when we were getting "duplicate" posts whenever we tried to post on a thread? There are all kinds of duplicate things...maybe that's part of the problem.

She can't stop us from stating our experiences and opinions.

In fact I consider it my solemn DUTY to continue posting.

I generally love everything I buy from QVC - including the Lidia bakeware and Rachel Ray bakeware.

Hi guys! Didn't we have fun yesterday! Who knew a line of "economical" stoneware could bring the three of us such "joy" when coupled with the "resident expert" and her undying loyalty?

So who is the expert?

I think of her as the Sentinel. She's the gatekeeper and guardian, always ready to defend the fortress that is TT from marauding hooligans who are up to no good and who probably are all the same person.

Depends what the content of your OP was & how it was said. I didn't see it but with all the complaining here on these TT threads, I don't know why it would have been "removed by the moderator". I would try again & see how it goes! HTH!

Well, kitty, there's reposting and then there's reposting. If you tweak it a bit, it's not reposting. At least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

And yes, I noticed that your reply to me was poofed. Oh, well. I saw it.

If you saw my reply, then you probably understood my reference to MPD's. If you do a little research, some things sound eerily alike --you know, different posters just start to sound the same....

I wonder why the OP hasn't come back to her thread to see if she got any answers to her question? I always try and go back to thank those who respond...

Sorry, kitty, but I guess I'm clueless. Nothing new about that.

Me, too, half the time. Let me put it this way, what if your eyes were deceiving you, and you thought you had two Temptations bowls, but you really only had one, sort of the same one.....

Hahaha...you're too funny, kitty. No, I did get the gist of what you were saying; I just don't know the specifics as to which posts or threads made you wonder. I hope that makes some sense. Oh, I think I might have an idea as to which one. Oy, I'm slow.

But here's my take on all this multiple stuff: Unless someone slips up, which I've seen on occasion, it's just guessing on anyone's part. Once or twice, I've been validated in my suspicion when the poster actually admitted it. I had been very sure based on writing style. It's not easy to hide writing style.

But generally, I try to avoid the guessing games. After all, I don't want to stoop to the Sentinel's level. She's been accusing people of this as long as I can recall, along with accusing people of being trolls and liars and telling people where to post and what they should or shouldn't post about TT.

And how ironic that she'll then tell us to lighten up because it's only bakeware.

Been there and "received" that, on several occasions! This thread just struck me as strange because it was up for two days with no replies, and the guardian didn't get on until the rest of us did. Sometimes it seems she's just waiting for one to pop up so she can answer it, but it didn't happen. And the OP hasn't been back to respond at all. The whole thing is weird. But if you're interested in the Concentric Bowl set, you might want to check out that thread from yesterday and today.
