Your husband is right about the pottery pots! I've always used ceramic pots (I've got 6 small and 3 large) - but I have a friend who uses plastic pudding moulds and swears by them, they come with their own little lid and therefore remain well-encased without having to ensure the foil 'lid' is still watertight!
I can't see why stainless wouldn't work, although I've never used them.
I admire you for trying to get it so authentic!
