You might consider using pots with extremely heavy bottoms. Failing
that, you might be able to use either a store-bought heat diffuser
(do they still make those?) or even have one of the armorers crank
out a plain, heavy steel (or better yet, iron) disk (minimum 8-gauge
boiler-plate). Sit that on the burner and put the pot on top. Not the
most elegant of solutions but it does help.
