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!

I'm skeptical that:

1 - Lead solder was used in copper cooking pots at all, because solder
could easily start to weaken at temps that a pot might experinece.

2 - That it's a common service readily available to get pots like this
dipped in something to cover them.

Like you state, what's the point? If I had such a pot, I'd just
chuck it and go buy a new one.
