Independent of if it is 300 or 400 series SS, the odds are you are not going 
to hardenit no matter what yo do.  300 SS you have zero chance, 400 
(magnetic), you might have a chance if it is someting other than 430.  Yellow heat and 
air cool.

This morning I found at the junkyard a Japanese stainless steel spatula in a
large motorhome that had burned.  The spatula is soft and I want to quench
it to see if I can regain its springiness.  How should I do it?  heat to
orange and quench in oil?

Thanks for any help.
