Hopefully cooking tools are easy to make with an image lol, tho be sucky if you aren't able to redraw some stuff

Although you'd think a frying pan would be simple enough if they have something as large as a pot/cauldron

Good thing he's smart enough to understand circuits too (unless it's basic knowledge you learn before graduating high school, bc even understanding conducting electricity idk if i'd know enough to tell them to make a lightbulb or something for non magic users to not depend on fire magic)

I think she’s going to wanna marry our MC now
Shame he didn't bring any books containing good knowledge with him or able to transport some stuff/any cheat skills but i'm fine with it focusing on cooking

that said be hilarious if he ended up enrolling in some magical academy as like "the magicless prodigy" and able to come with 'advancements'/theories and such (like dagna from dragon age if you're familiar with that series)

Nahhh that second half especially was corny. About as realistic as Ash making exploding arrows from a chemistry textbook in army of darkness.

I can buy the idea of circuits not being thought of, but "make metal real hot" is BC levels of tech. Even the Japanese with their legendarly bad iron deposits (pig iorn) knew to make the metal super hot and smash the crap out of it. Fun fact katanas were so brittle that samari would carry around three or four of them into battle. Even then the rich samari mostly stuck with horseback archery

I wouldn't say that the MC is saying just to make stuff super hot that it'll become better, he's just saying what little he knows, which to be fair, is stuff that you will learn in chemistry classes with the fractioned distillation which is all about heating stuff at different temperatures to make them melt or evaporate (Which we mostly learn through liquids), and of the common knowledge of how to make steel, of mixing iron and carbon. And he admits that he doesn't really know much about it

She mold it by magic so it is possible that "make metal real hot" is either ancient tech or done by non magical nations since molding it with magic is more convenient. People usually opt to go in path of least resistance or more convenient. This is like if there healing magic exist then the non magic medical field stagnant or non existing. If freezing magic exist then spices are not as expensive.

Also possible since she is a magic craftsman she just does not know how blacksmith do stuffs.

Yeah they might go the world building route, where because magic exist very simple technology that should be available during a medieval era just doesn't exist in this world because people opt for magic.

Could be a bit cliche going forward, in that they make the MC's whole schtick is him "introducing fire to cavemen" which is the first analogy I can think of in these types of isekai stories.

Your comment reminds me of Lelei la Lalena from "Gate". She is accomplished in magic, and studies natural sciences from books supplied by the JSDF. Using that knowledge, she created magical shaped explosive charges that can penetrate thick iron armor.
