question everything!
but the ductility of most metals keeps them shattering, my bigger concern was warping.
it's still entirely viable to do for chisels and the like though, much easier to re-temper the tip of a tool than a full blade, my attempt did a number on the handle

I don't really keep recipes, and growing up we had meatless sauce for pasta, crushed tomatoes or just butter
the italians of /ck/ dislikes my sauces because they're absurdly simple, but the results are similar or better with less effort and cheaper ingredients.
>cook down some tomatoes
>shun olive oil in favour of animal fats which last far longer before going rancid
>use pre-ground spices instead of cranking my wrist for that fine grind
>putting in completely non-traditional ingredients like cocoa, sugars, and turkish coffee
>putting in ingredients via putting in foods that could be considered a package of other required ingredients, ie: that cheap iced tea I use for citric acid and sugar
you know why they call it sunday sauce right?
cause it takes them all sunday to make it despite most of those 'grandmas secret recipe' using premade tomato sauce
how horribly inefficient those italians
