To harden steel, start by heating the metal directly with a blow torch until it turns a cherry red color. Then, use a pair of tongs to carry the steel to a container filled with water or vegetable, and submerge the hot metal in the liquid. When the liquid stops bubbling, remove the metal from the container and wipe off any excess liquid. To temper the steel so it isn't brittle, place it in an oven heated to 375 °F for 3 hours, and then it let it cool overnight.

Steel is a common durable alloy, and while most steel used in tools is already tough, you can harden it even more to prevent wear and tear. Hardened steel prevents knife blades from dulling and tools from bending and breaking. With a simple heating and quenching process, you can make your steel last for much longer!
