I have yet to order any, but has anyone ordered it? What do you think? Love it? Could live without it?

I have quite a bit of it. I like it. It's very versatile and very easy to clean. It's not the finest stuff in the world, but for the price it's a pretty good deal. My only complaint is that my Lid-It cracked in half in the oven. That has happened to a lot of people. I did contact them but never got any response so not too thrilled with their customer service. I'm sure I could live without it, but I do use it a lot.

Had a great Goodwill find a couple months ago and found 2 matching casserole dishes with lids. The patterns don't thrill me, but they are very easy to clean.

I have a few of the floral lace pieces but in the spring colors (lime and turquoise) that they don't sell all year long. What I got was some fluted shaped cake pans that are four sizes that store within each other. I used those for a wide range of baking, casseroles, etc. I like them. I also broke with my color scheme and got a large casserole dish with a matching zip carrier that looks pretty cool but hasn't gotten used yet.
They did a set of 2 silicone baking mats recently that I got and I really like them.

Julie W how are the silicone mats? I saw ones on air last week that were hard like cutting boards, not soft like Silpat. I was so tempted! I found an oval casserole at the thrift store last week, marked $14.94. I also found the wire rack, plastic lids and glass trivet insert. When I assembled all the pieces it was perfect, but over $30 so I passed. I'm not sure if that's a good deal, it seemed high. Or at least high enough I'd rather order one in my own color choice!

I'm sure I could live without it, but I do use it a lot. I've had Temp-tations replace cracked items. I have a lid-it now that needs to be replaced. It costs $9.95 shipping to replace it but they do it quickly. You have to call Temp-tations though not QVC. |

I have a ton of pieces and use them all a lot. I do find that the older pieces seem to be heavier and better quality than the newest pieces I have. I think the last set I ordered was the pasta bowl set because it just didn't seem as well made as my original pieces.

I love mine. A few years ago, I got rid of most of my mis-matched and old casserole dishes, and got a set of Temptations in all different sizes. I have heard of, in particular, the Lid-Its breaking in the oven (a Lid-It is like a cookie sheet but also fits on top of the 9x13 casserole dish), but I have only used my Lid-It in the oven once or twice. I mostly use it as a serving tray. They are not completely non-stick, but they are ceramic, so if you soak them for a bit after using, everything comes right off.

How chip resistant are they? I worry about that. Do they chip easily?
I'm tempted to get the floral lace mixing bowls in cobalt. So pretty!

All I can say is that I've had my set (13 pieces, I think) for probably 5 or 6 years, and nothing has chipped so far. My set did include two mixing bowls, which I use a lot. |

Thank you for that, that's a long time to go without chips!  It's always so hard to judge..Fiestware for me has never ever chipped, but I picked up a few Pioneer Woman bowls and bam! Chipped right off the bat. So...that's why I'm wary. It sounds like Temptations are more like Fiestaware as far as durability then..? |

I really like them a lot for baking. I've done cookies and biscuits so far and they turned out great. I did bacon too! Some of the reviews online said the mats stain. I find they take a little more elbow grease to get stuff off, but nothing I've cooked has stained. |

Thanks Julie W. I didn't think about staining. I'll do one of the darker colors. |

My only complaint with mine is that with the wire racks, everything takes up a lot of room.

I got some Temptations cookware from QVCUK a few years ago and they are still going strong and haven't chipped yet. |

My only complaint with mine is that with the wire racks, everything takes up a lot of room. This is completely true. I'll be honest -- I tossed all of the wire racks. They're cute but, for me, not particularly useful. I don't typically bring casserole dishes full of food to the table, and on the occasions where I do (holidays, etc.), it's easy enough to set the casserole dish on a trivet. |

I didn't really see a need for them and like you said, they take up a lot of room. I've found the bakeware to be very durable, I use it every week and so far no chips. I've had my sets about 4 years. |

Thanks, the rack is what sets them apart from other bakeware, and maybe the lid. If it' becomes more clutter I can keep ogling the ones at local kitchen boutique or even HomeGoods! |

And if you'd use the racks, I agree, they're great and an unusual addition. I just wouldn't have used them. But I think there are a lot of things besides the racks that make the Temptations worthwhile, including that they're a pretty good value even without the racks. My set has some very useful and unusual sizes of baking dishes, for example. I do love the lids, though. I love that I can prep a dish ahead of time, snap on the lid, put it in the fridge, and I can stack stuff right on top of the dish, because the lid is flat and sturdy. |
