I started collecting Temptations Cookware but I'm a little confused about something. I have read the reviews about Temptations cracking in the oven and I want to avoid that. I know your suppose to put a cold Temptations baker with cold food in the oven and let the oven heat up with the cookware. How about when baking a cake and the cake box tells you to preheat oven first. If I have room temperature cake mix in a room temperature Temptations baker can I put it in a preheated oven with no problem? I want to take care of my Temptations properly especially since sometime I have to send it back to Qvc at least once before I get one that has a decent paint job, glazing, or chipped problem. I wish they would fix those problems already. Thank you everyone for your help.

I don't think there is anything you can do to prevent the cracking and breaking. I think this is a quality control issue with the product itself, and nothing you do will make a difference.

I agree with RedTop.

All those cakes Tara brings out of the oven in Temp-T - why not try baking a cake in the cold un-pre-heated oven sometime? Just not for a birthday or big event. Do a test run - & if it works, you can eat cake!

if they have well quality then there is no issue

I have baked with Temptations and I don't take any precautions.

I preheat oven, bake like normal. I have had no issues.

The two pieces I use the most are Tara's Garden 9x13 and an Old World 10x10.

I also agree with Redtop the first poster. The problem is with Tempations in the majority of cases of breaking or cracking. I have had two pieces break while cooking. Both times I followed the instructions to put the pan in the oven first then turn on. Over the years I have owned many other baking dishes and never had an issue. I purchased Temptation because the dishes were pretty but they are not durable. Now I use them as serving pieces instead.......cleaning the oven after the two that broke while cooking is NOT an experience that I want to deal with again.

That right there is all the reason you need to look for another brand of ovenware!

Very interesting to hear your thoughts. I watched the shows the other day and was so tempted, but did not order because I had read this before. It is so beautiful but I am not going to try it, will stick with Pyrex. It is nice to hear some of you have had no problems. Happy Mother's Day!

Too risky because of quality, I use mine only for serving.
