How should Lid-It® trays be used in the oven?

When cooking on temptations Lid-It trays, it’s important to make sure the food is evenly distributed; otherwise “hot spots” may occur that might damage the stoneware. For example, if you’re cooking only a few servings, choose a smaller Lid-It tray so the food covers it more fully and evenly, instead of a larger Lid-It tray, which would leave more surface area exposed and cause stress to the stoneware.

When hand washing, is it ok to soak temptations dishes and bakeware in water?

It’s ok to fill your temptations with water and let it soak, but do not fully submerge your temptations in a sink full of water. Stoneware absorbs water in places where there’s no glaze (for example, on the bottom, where it sits in the kiln). When the stoneware is then put in the oven, microwave, or freezer, the absorbed water will expand and can cause stress to the stoneware. Please note that temptations stoneware is dishwasher safe.

Is it ok to hand wash temptations cookware pieces after removal from a hot oven or microwave?

No, do not take a temptations baker out of a hot oven or microwave and immerse in water; let the stoneware come to room temperature before washing.

PAINT COLORS & BRUSH STROKES

I’ve noticed that sometimes older temptations pieces and newer temptations pieces purchased in the same color don’t exactly match. 

Why is that?

Temptations pieces are handcrafted and hand painted, so no two pieces are ever alike. 

Every effort is made for colors to remain consistent, but because brush strokes vary from piece to piece, slight color variations will occur – making each item unique.

Why are there variations in the painted brush strokes?

Part of the charm of temptations is that each piece is unique. 

Each item is hand painted by artisans; therefore, no two pieces will ever be alike. 

Variations in brushstrokes will occur, making your set truly one of a kind.
