Is it me or is this just Temptations 2.0? Looks the same. Same colors. Same rack design. Same lid idea. Really?

[LizzieInSRQ]

I think the painted designs are better quality and the colors are not the same.

Maybe Valerie's won't crack or break in the oven like Temptations do.

IT's new so we can't speak to the quality at this point, but I will say the design is different. and especially the colors have some offerings that TT does not. 

Tara abandoned yellow, and this offers a beautiful yellow, and they called the one orange, it is a really rich terra cotta looking color on air, and something new and different.

I'm glad to see Cook's Essentials and now Valerie have some ceramic pieces since they pretty much got rid of the good old polish stoneware and the best ever for the price Lidia Bastianich. 

Temp-tations needs some competition here.

.......LOL.......or crack or craze after you very carefully followed directions and washed them the first time .

They look lovely but I would be hesitant since it is of course "imported"......you know what that means.

[Sooner]

I would assume it is just another QVC house brand.  So, probably made in the same place.  So people can buy more new stuff.  How much Temptations can the world absorb anyway?  LOL!!

Is it sold anywhere else?  If not, it's a dead give-away.

They are pretty, but she does stress that they are oven safe to 400°. 

I love using my Temptations. I just looked up one baker & it says it's good for up to 500°.

CRACK...............

I thought the same !!!!   The interiors are very pretty--- very Italian. There is an Italian pottery company that I think is call Italian Pottery-- beautiful pieces that are pricey. I think the company is based out of California. The green is very similar to Temp. as is the orange.
