Joanne,
I’m probably no help as we don’t drink coffee enough to have nice mugs like that! Sorry! Katie

What I am looking for and have had no luck in finding, is an insulated stainless steel drinking mug that is modeled after the Aladdin mugs (32 or 33 oz) and with a lid that is easy to drink from. I love the Aladdin mugs, but don’t like that they are plastic! Any suggestions that won’t break the bank? Actually, any covered, insulated stainless steel 32 oz or liter, cup especially if it also fits in a car holder would be perfect.

Enjoyed this article. We use and like the stainless steel bottles- both for us and the kids. We also have small stainless steel cups that are perfect for the kiddos when they are learning to drink from a cup. They are quite resilient. I found them at an Amish grocery store. Safe, unbreakable, and cheap to boot!

Alyssa,
I don’t have anything form Ikea, but they’re a pretty good company. Bet they’d tell you if you called, or you can compare to something with a number and guess. ?? It’s a tricky world out there! Katie

Alyssa,
I hate to say it, but I’d be nearly certain that has BPA. No. 7 is a catchall category, but since it’s a Nalgene, I bet it is not good. So sorry! Maybe you can win the stainless steel bottle I’m giving away this week (coming soon)… Katie

Hi Cindy,
Can u just use cooking spray? That is what my instructions on my cast iron skillet say to use.

Hi,
I just came accross ur site. As neither hubby or I have jobs I need to spend as frugally as possible (easier said than done!) I have a Nalgene water bottle that I got in 2005. It was med in 2004 or 2005. How do I tell if it is a newer one? It has a number 7 on it.

Melamine isnt a good choice–it cant be put into the microwave–not that i use a microwave–it is simply best to use glass and china to eat off and cast iron to cook with or enamel coating–I use no teflon because i have parrots in the home and they can literally die from using teflon–if my parrots can die, i dont want it in my lungs either! Great article and thanks for sharing!

Bebe,
Mine is doing all right lately, but I still hate the thought of feeding my pan all my expensive fats! I want to have some cheap canola oil just for the pan, but I don’t think I will… Katie
