Update: I quenched a high-carbon blade in used motor oil instead of new
Everyone said it would ruin the temper, but the piece came out with less warping and a decent edge. What's the weirdest quenching medium you've had success with?

Tried quenching a knife in leftover bacon grease once. It smelled amazing but the edge was about as tough as a strip of well-done bacon. I'll stick to less tasty options.
