Probably not, for these and more reasons:

1.       It takes too long

2.       The roast slices would be small and chunky and  unappetizing

3.       The knife blade, not designed for slicing meat, could easily slip and cut you

In plain words, it's unwise and not something you'd want to tolerate. Tolerations in business, however, aren't always as easily identified. 

As an example, my aging laptop had gradually slowed in its ability to process and load information on the screen.  I was aware of the reduced operating speed, but chose to live with it as opposed to spending the energy  to buy a new computer and transfer all of the files and programs.

It was no surprise when a failing screen on the laptop forced my decision to invest in a replacement.  The file transfer process was painful, granted, but the end result was well worth it-a lightning fast processor, tons of RAM and storage and updated software.   My toleration of  the old laptop's inadequacies had been costing me money and time due to its logy pace. The inner voice I had been ignoring shouted, "I told you so!"

The reasons why we allow tolerations are as plentiful as horse flies in August.  But, it's safe to say no matter how good the reasons, tolerations are always costly financially or emotionally.

Thinking about your business, are you or your employees tolerating situations that cost time and money similar to my aging laptop?

You may have these tolerations draining time from your business daily:

Worse yet, keep in mind what you will tolerate for tools and working conditions may be far greater than what employees will tolerate. 

While there are many hard working Generation Y  youth, this age group is strongly conditioned to a throw-away society mentality.  If it's broken, buy a new one.

Which means workers in this age group will not be tolerating broken tools and equipment.  If you're a duct tape repairman, you may be wasting what you think you're saving with additional labor expense.

No one enjoys working with "make-do" tools and equipment.

Keep your employees happy and productive with functional, efficient tools and equipment.  Their success at their jobs is crucial for your business's success.
