Hi I got a few bessemer pieces and while I do like cooking in it - the non-stick surface scratches pretty easily and I've got a couple of ruined pieces from XDH and flatmates/friends using & cleaning them. Mum and a friend have found the same, though Bessemer do replace them at half price I think.
In all honesty I barely use them any more and use my good ol' stainless saucepans on a regular basis and I have since acquired a couple of scanpan bits which I love - the non-stick is so much easier to look after - they are pricey but Myer & House generally have a sale on them either just before xmas or just after with 50% off. Can't wait to add to the collection when I get my new kitchen next year
I have the big round frypan/casserole which I got from a garage sale for $5. I only bought it because it was orange, and was going to use it purely on the bbq. Until a neighbour told me what it was, and I used to use it a lot for cooking mince in, that's all really though.
I'm not sure if I'd pay full price for one though...
Did you know there's a shop in Thomastown (are you in Vic Tinks, I forget ) that I think is a bit of a discount place for Bessemer.
I want a bessemer set. I imagine they arent as good as what my mum had when i was growing up - pice growing quality deteriorating... it seems so trivial but i really want one.
All my cookware is Bessemer.
Mum used to sell it like you would Tupperware before she died.
Mine are 10 years old now and apart from a few scratches still look brand new.
It's like anything if you look after it they will last you a long time.
They are quite heavy that's the only drawback I find with them.
As long as you use plastic utensils they shouldn't scratch.
I just steelwool the bottom of them and they come up sparkling.
I think they are worth the investment. Mine are still going strong and have quite a few years left in them.
Dad is still using ones that he and Mum got for their wedding 30 years ago.
Bessemer?
