How could I repurpose a saucepan?

I have a white enamel saucepan, purchased at TJ Max, that I'd like to repurpose. I think the enamel paint is lead based:-( If anyone has a safe repurpose idea I'm all eyes.

    How about using it as a terranium with succulents, or as a "vessel for flowers ( fresh). Just put in jars that will fit inside , fill with water and make your arrangement use greenery as a base and that will help support your flowers. Have fun!!

    anything non-food related. If you make soap or candles you could use it to mix/melt ingredients. Put a plastic bag inside and use to collect rain water for indoor plants or fish bowl.

    No offense...but if you think TJ Maxx is selling cookware that has lead paint on it, I'd contact them, or the manufacturer, or a good consumer agency so it can be tested and/or taking off the market if need be.

    Thanks for the confirmation, I thought about that too. I'm going to get a kit at the hardware store and see if anything pops up so I can see for myself and show them.
