I can see this with leaves but then the solvent has to remove what it has dissolved out and put it into solution. I suppose that a liquid to liquid transfer would be better once soaked through. How much faster?

Yesterday my brother and I had a conversation of marinating meat in a vacuum chamber. I realize that the purpose of marinating is to get the liquid in the meat and not back out like you would in this recipe. Not much air in meat. A little backstory to explain my wondering if vacuum is useful or more of the latest and greatest scam.

If you got your solvent in the leaf would you have to grind and then press it to get the "good stuff" out?

Call it a swag...little pathways/pipes to the greater volume of solution.

For what it's worth, I put the dry spices into a spicer and gave them a few pulses before mixing them into the alcohol.
I'm trying for more surface area to contact the liquid.

In the meantime, I guess I'll finish cleaning these two.
An older H Boker 11/16ths, heavy, thumb notched tang. And a George Wostenholm& Son's 5/8ths, Frameback.
( measuring from honing surface of spine, to edge.)

They showed up in my mailbox, VIA Texas [emoji57]

This is a family friendly site so I won't write the definition of SWAG that I found.....

How would you create these pathways? Rupturing cells and creating tears in the fabric?

An old Boker like that is hard to see, I think~!
Lots heftier than the later ones, IMO. Perhaps a Pre-War? I think so!

Might have a bit of mid-blade frown? Swoop it!

Boker is done.!!!
All pre tests past..!!!
Final test in morning.

Honed up quicker, than it took me to do a quick clean of the blade n scales.

Oh.. And tighten the pivot pin.
