There were Stainless mugs with fixed handles in poundland the other day but you would need a glove or pot grip to get them off a fire or stove :)

I know and to be perfectly honest it worked better than i thought it would, Dorris isnt to happy about having all her coffee in sandwich bags though.

Thrift stores always have well used cheap pots and such for little cost. Can also bring out weightless aluminum cake pans for the time being.
