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.
