Thank you.

[New2Temptations]

Thanks for the input. I'll be returning it.

Yes doubt I'll use for baking now that I know about the issues.  Thanks

@New2Temptations - I agree with others here that you should exchange the piece you've shared; hopefully it will be a simple process and you'll get a brand new item that will be in much better condition.

And just to add my two-cents' worth, I've also collected Temp-tations for many years, from the beginning up to this week, and I've never had a single piece crack, break, or craze (and I have a lot of different items in many different patterns). But I have had issues like yours where I wanted/needed to exchange or return an item—typically due to damage in transit or shoddy painting—and that has always been easy with QVC.

can someone explain the temptations cooking procedure. I hear Tara say sometimes to not put it in a hot oven. So most or all recipes the oven must be pre heated.  What are all you temptation owners do? I have a couple of 13x9 and they both have little cracks. This is why I stopped buying.  Please explain the oven temp situation. Thanks

I'm honestly surprised that brand is still around. I had cracking on several occasions and the craze problem was on almost every dish. I avoid that brand completely.

Temptations products have many defects and flaws.  That's why they are so cheap.

I remember years ago when the brand first came to QVC there were many complaints that the pieces were shattering in the oven so I have never purchased any.

I've baked in an old 9x13 for years with no issue.  I don't freeze in them, so I am never shocking the stoneware.  I also let it cool before putting it in dish water.  Cleanup is pretty easy, so I don't put the 9x13 in the dishwasher. However, any new items I had, I rarely bake in them.  Mostly for serving.  I haven't bought any bakeware sets in years.  My last purchase was some dipping bowls.  Super cute, for dressing, potion control snacks.  I'm sure my 9x13 is 15 years old.  Polka dot, so you know it's old.  

My favorite items were the oval bread bowls.  Mail, fruit, candle centerpieces.  I have three or four.  

I think it's clearly a problem, as on TSV day, I've heard several mentions of not taking directly freezer to oven, so they know the problems exist.  A few pieces that crazed, I now use as a plant holder.  (A firework floral lace 8x8). The loaf pan, however, is perfect.

Only piece I have is pie dish decorated with pumpkins. After using a few times in oven it started developing cracks. I now use it as a decorative piece, very cute for that purpose but would not but anymore Temptations.
