I own very few TempTations pieces ( mostly mixing & serving bowls), and they were from the early days when the quality was better than it is today. If soaking the products in water is not recommended, that fact should most definitely be stressed in the on air presentation.

The designs arenāt worth these risks. Metal bakeware doesnāt have these issues and the higher quality stuff lasts forever.
I just donāt have the patience for finicky products, life is too short, and not enough time in the day.

Online PopUp Ad. Some ads advertise free shipping with a $40 dollar purchase.Sometimes I need to soak a baking pan for a while. That is very strange. Does that mean we shouldnāt put them in the dishwasher, either, where theyād be inundated with water?
I still have one pretty 9x13 Temptations baking dish, in a pattern they no longer carry. (Trellis, I think.). Have not had any issues so far.

Iāve been using Lock n Lock glass dishes for baking. For me, itās easy cooking and cleanup. I use only butter to grease the pans when necessary, clean up is simple and effortless.

I love Locknlock products, and I know Iāve said the following several times, but since itās regarding safety, Iāll say it yet againā¦ the glass baking dishes sometimes slide around in the oven and Iāve had some near misses when opening the door, to the point where I mostly use them for storing leftovers. This has happened with two ovens (my own and a relativeās) and we havenāt had this issue with any other glass baking dishes. Would hate for someone to get hurt.

That is interesting. I use my LnL 12x13 and 8x8 glass pans in my counter top oven often and have never had that problem. I will be careful and take notice from now on. I just bought a couple of the very large plastic bins from LnL; One to store important papers and documents and one to store emergency supplies. They are water tight in case of flood and easy to grab in case of emergency evacuation (neither of which I am expecting, but you never know).

I use my glass lock n locks in the oven several times weekly, and have never had an issue with them sliding. If you place an oven safe silicone mat or silicone tray on the oven rack first, that might help to prevent the pan from sliding.

Did anyone get their set of 4 lock n lock containers with the handle and gift boxes? Iāve been using mine everyday at work. Itās okay, the closure is not as tight as my other lock n locks. I do like the colors and will gift 2 of them and keep two. Also, the handle aspect is good for me to hold onto my container as I eat. Here it is as an example with my rice and broccoli beef left over and an avocado.
I really like the quality of the temp-Tations drying mats. I got the new pattern sheās got for Thanks Giving. Itās cute but doesnāt really go with my vintage temp-tations pieces.

I always wondered how drying mats work; how often do you have to wash them? do they dry out quickly between uses?
This is how I use my drying mats.
I donāt have a dish washer. I do have a drying RACK which stays in the left side of my divided sink. The drying MAT goes on my counter next to the sink. All items that donāt fit in the drying rack end up resting on the drying mat. Those items might be wine glasses, large bowls, delicate items or plates that would take up too much space in the drying rack.
It does dry between uses. I wash the dying mats once a week when I do the towels and let them air dry.

That seems like a good system. They look cute too!
Iāve used a drying mat next to the sink for years. Bought them at Meijer years ago for $5 bucks. I have 3 and rotate them in between laundering. They go in the washer & dryer. Saw a similar product on the Walmart website for $5. Sorry, couldnāt get link to copy.

If this came down another $15+ I could buy it and sleep in it but wear it out in the real world? LOGO by Lori Goldstein Reg. 3/4 Sleeve Scoop Neck Sharkbite Dress - QVC.com

I donāt think Iāve ever seen QVC do this but HSN, on their app anyway, had a sneak peek of todayās Shark TSV. I was waiting for Black Friday or post holiday sales anyway and decided this was worth a purchase. The cannister seems a little small but I can deal with that. I only have one area rug now and it is one of the brushless vacuums and itās basically a 50% off deal with 26 dollar payments on flex. They claim to be sending it out so I have it end of week. Weāll see, though I donāt need it that fast. Anyway, itās todayās TSV:Today's Special | HSN
OK I have used it this week; fairly easy to put together. I was right, the small cannister means emptying it a lot but I have mostly hardwood floors not rugs so this does seem to meet my needs. Great suction! I do have a Snarkers question though: I bought the two yr warranty. The item actually comes with a five year warranty. Iām going to call HSN and cancel the two year unless you guys, infinitely more wise than I, tell me I should keep it. Thanks!

I received my Dennis Basso TSV throw, in brown sable. It is beautiful and the softest faux fur I have ever felt! Not that Iām an expert, by any means.
It is heavy, though. I prefer a lighter coverup throw, but my adult sons might like it when they visit. And it is soooo soft! Will think on it,

It sounds wonderful. Worth keeping just for looks and feels alone?
