Just caught a bit of David's show the other day.  Some of those pieces of Tara's were beautiful.  Not tempted though, don't do entertaining  like I once did.  I think I use or used last 2 pieces only.  My group has gone down considerably.  Pretty stuff though if you do entertain.

@qualitygal  I watched the presentation too. Didn't see anything I could really use this time around. I have lots of Old World Green and lots of Poinsettia. I would say the pieces I use most often are the 9x13 bakers, the loaf pans and the pair of muffin pans with the handles. The muffin pans are good for muffins, corn bread and individual quiches because of their nonstick quality and their easy clean up. We do holidays for my family, so there could be 22 people at table. We also do a family get together in the summer. In between times I use the various sized casseroles for vegetable bakes.

I can't believe the difference stoneware loaf pans make in baking breads!

 

I always used metal Wilton and struggled.  The edges were too dark and the inside too gooey no matter what temp or time I used!

 

Bought Temp loaf pans and make the most fabulous breads now, evenly baked and golden delicious.

 

I use some for just serving and some to bake in.  Never had one problem with any of them.

 

I loved the new items as well, but also don't need a thing!

I pretty much did the same thing.  For my baking I use either Polish Stoneware or Fiesta Ware.  

 

I have just a few little dishes from Temptations that I'll use for serving nuts or small little snacks.  

 

I never had a Temptation pan crack on me in the oven but I've read enough from other people that I decided that I wasn't going to continue taking the chance.

Over the years I have amassed an impressive Temptations collection; EVERY season, everyday entertaining, and then some. I have only been unsatisfied a handful of times.😊

I have many TT dishes and am a fan . I only had one it show a bit of wear. It is a meatloaf pan that I purchased from markdown . The color was off but it's my favorite dish to bake meat loaf in . I had one small lid it break in half while in a cabinet for no apparent reason. Every other item has stayed beautiful. I do find I need to use spray on oils for some recipes. I do not understand the claim that it is non-stick. 

 

I really love the floral lace and have had compliments offered when using it . I love the navy and the aqua colors . I am so glad that they started leaving the brown off of it --I always thought that distracted from it's beauty.

 

I think the holiday items are cute, but do not have storage space for every holiday. I do consider a few Christmas items sometimes.
