I recently bought a used stainless steel utensil holder (that's what it was described as, anyway) because I thought it might have potential for use as a pan. Its got several sections (with dividers) and the seams are soldered. I'm concerned that the soldering might have lead in it. Is there any easy way to tell?

Thanks

go to your local hardware store and get a lead test kit for plumbing and pipe...easy, simple, and I think it was around 6-7 bucks...
