I purchased a 21-piece set in December 2018, but didn't use it until recently since I had moved and it remained packed up until I upgraded my kitchen cabinets to add more storage space.  I began using some pieces about 18 months ago.  I baked salmon, and when I pulled the tray out of the oven, it was broken in half and I had to take it out in two pieces.  I glued it back together and figured I would use it again at some point for serving, but not for baking.  In the meantime, I began using the larger or the smaller tray for baking.  Just the other day I was cooking salmon in the larger tray and the same thing happened to this one.  I had to pull it out of the oven in two pieces.  I don't know why this happened to two of my pieces, but when I called QVC and Temp-Tations about it, they said since it was purchased so long ago, they would not repace the itrems.  Maybe there's a defect in this product, so I would surely never purchase it again.


@DawnPR   Your sad experience is the reason I have never bought TT.  I've read too many horror stories on here.  Sorry this happened to you.

DawnPR, I bought Temptations before. They chipped easily. They also feel very lightweight. I don't think they're made out of sturdy materials.

Absolutely. I just never buy Temptations any more. For me, one of the best features was the wire baskets for the baking dishes. Just this Christmas I put my 3 vegetables in the 3 section dish and all 3 could be passed around the table without the problem of thrm being too hot to hold.  I still use my "original" Temptations and although some of the newer pieces look very nice, without the wire baskets they are not as versatile or useful. 


I agree.  Passing dishes at the table is crucial for me since I serve at the table, not buffe style.

I commented earlier and QVC deleted it. I basically said, this happened to me also! That the quality isn’t the same. And I have seen in Temptations reviews that you are not the only one with heat sensitive bakeware that cracks! The days of paying for quality is mostly gone!

Tara doesn't really care. They should replace as it isn't cheap. I have written letters to her but have never had a response or have seen past patterns show up.

I never cared for the wire baskets. I think I have the world's smallest kitchen. No room for the baskets or all the seasonal pieces.

But their shipping cost are really high. I thought 5.50
Was a lot at QVC when I ordered from their website it was 12.00.

Same thing happened to a gift I gave my sister

Seems latest product is not as good as previous products

My sister had the same issue with her Temptations bakeware cracking in the oven.

 

Tara is a bit too smug for my tastes, knowing she's thrusting a shoddy product onto unsuspecting customers.
