If they're just starting out I'll look for extras I might have laying around to give to them as we all know how expensive our hobby/business can get with all the tools necessary. I find every time I loan something out to someone whether its a tool, a kitchen item, it never comes back in the same condition or filthy. Did that with one of my stock pots, loaned it out to a neighbor that wanted to make a large batch of jelly and the pot came back burnt on the inside bottom, dirty plus now it burns everything I cook in it so had to go out and buy a new one. Now I use that stock pot for open bath canning only. Don't think I can burn water..................but then maybe I can.............
