Also, for my yeast starter, can i use a magna lite pot that I already have and just clean and sanitize it, or do i need to buy a new one?

Absolute best thing you can use (in my experience) is a 1L or 2L erlenmeyer flask with a piece of aluminum foil pressed lightly over the top. If I didn't have my flasks, I'd probably go with a glass jar with the same foil pressed on top.

Glass is so much easier to clean and sanitize than any metal pot will be - and a yeast starter is the one time you REALLY don't want to take a shortcut with sanitizing properly.

BTW, good for you for going with a yeast starter first time out.
