Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Ideal for crème brûlée and meringues, this tool provides a home cook with the same tool for caramelizing sugar that a restaurant chef uses. Use it also, as pros sometimes do, for putting the finishing touches on barbecued ribs or roast meats. The torch has an adjustable temperature and a safety lock. Its flame points straight out without flaring for safe, precise work, and its handle is textured for a firm grip. A button on the back of the head operates the torch with the push of a thumb. The torch stands 6-1/4 inches high on a stable base and is easily filled with butane. --Fred Brack

Not too hot!,

This review is from: BonJour 10101-42 Creme Brulee Torch, Black (Kitchen)
I bought this torch as a gift for my wife, and neither of us are impressed with it after using it several times. First, it has a safety mechanism that is so hard to push down, you almost need to use a screwdriver (or something similar). It is so difficult to disengage the safety mechanism, that my wife often cannot do it. The second problem with this torch is that it is constantly going out, even though it is full of butane. Unfortunately, every time you want to light the torch, you must depress the safety, so it has turned out to be a real pain... If it stays lit (occasionally it does), it works great, but I don't think it is worth the effort.

This review is from: BonJour 10101-42 Creme Brulee Torch, Black (Kitchen)
For the price, the Bonjour cooking torch is rather serviceable, yet it does lack in some areas. The air flow adjustment, for example, cannot be locked into place and returns to the normal setting as soon as it is released, so cooks are basically stuck with a narrow, fine flame rather than being able to use the wider, softer heat necessary for some tasks. The safety lock also is somewhat counterintuitive, and my experience has been that the flame goes out for no reason at times, requiring the user to reset the safety and re-ignite the torch while in the middle of use. Finally, the flame produced, though working well for things like creme brulees, is not quite suitable for charring pepper skins and other uses one might want to apply a cooking torch to.The Bonjour cooking torch works; there's no denying that. However, most cooks will want a more reliable model and will be willing to pay the higher price required to get one. Still, if all you want is to make creme brulee, this torch should suffice.

difficult to start and difficult to maintain flame. would think twice before buying again. especially difficult if one is left handed.
