Default Where to get old pots tinned

If there is lead based solder in a cooking pot why risk the health of your
friends and family? If it has lead use it for a decoration and buy a lead
free pot.

If there is no lead, then go ahead and get it replaced with tin.

If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent.

Hi,

We own a number of very old copper pots that we would very much like
to use. However, back when they were made, they used lead in solder. I
have heard (from chefs who use them) that it is safe to use them if
one gets them tinned. Any thoughts on where I could have done? What
would that trade be called?

Thanks!

Aaron
