That's a bit of a general statement. Sure some are just cooks but some do have a real interest in chemistry. Besides most of them will already know
the method you've mentioned. It's not like it hard to find a google search will get it for you.

Recovering it as KBr would be a bit too much work for such a cheap chemical. Similarly oxidizing the left over solid from the distillation would give
Br2 which is a bit too hazardous to isolate for being worth the effort. In any case, if you would want to recycle it to KBrO3, then it would be a bit
stupid to use KBrO3 for the oxidation in the first place, since you would need electrolysis for the reoxidation of KBr. Therefore it would be much
simpler and cleaner to form gamma-butyrolactone from tetrahydrofuran/H2O in the presence of a small amount of Br2 or HBr by electrolysis instead.

Hi Nicodem,
I am really interested in your electrolysis comment and was wondering can you explain the reaction mechanism , I'm just starting to learn about
electrolysis reaction and I understand basic reactions but getting into organic reactions are a little above my head. Not interested in actually
trying it just understanding how it works better.
