Explains the Hammer and Tongs, Too

Some folks are just too set in their ways to change.

Way back in ought-six I mentioned my mother-in-law's propensity for using cookware like a smelter. In the intervening years I've tried numerous times to make her understand that with modern pans there is no need to set the gas cooker to the thermonuclear setting, but she just doesn't get it; she simply isn't satisfied unless the pan is hot enough to melt steel.

Maybe in a past life she was a sword-maker.
