Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
For a restaurant-quality finishing touch on desserts such as creme brulee, meringue, and other delicacies, turn to this professional-grade culinary torch. The compact unit features an innovative anti-flare design that protects hands and dishes from burning or scorching, while its unique Piezo ignition system allows for instantaneous start-up and shut-off--no waiting for the unit to heat up before use. Even more, its locking safety switch prevents accidental ignition and provides an extra layer of protection between applications. To use, simply attach the unit to a butane canister (sold separately) and move the safety switch to the unlocked position. Turn the gas control knob in a counterclockwise motion until a hissing sound indicates fuel readiness, and pull the trigger to ignite. For precision control while crisping au gratins, caramelizing puddings, melting baking chips, and more, the torch's flame level can be easily adjusted using the gas control knob. Plus, its versatile design allows for applying heat in both upright and inverted positions--ideal for reaching into small crevices or applying to the underside of ice sculptures and other confectionary creations. A necessity for serious cooks, bakers, and chefs, the culinary torch measures approximately 3 by 8 by 4 inches.
Product Description
Works wonders on creme brulees, au gratins and meringues, great for caramelizing, melting, browning, crisping, skinning vegetables, and creating beautiful ice sculptures.

Sterno Professional Culinary Torch,

This review is from: Sterno ST06003 Professional Culinary Torch (Kitchen)
So far so good, I like that it adds additional functionality to butane canisters I have for use with my Thunder Range Portable Gas Cooker. Unlike the previous reviewer I know that the torch fits nicely onto any butane canister designed for a plethora of portable gas cookers. I'm currently using a brand called Sun Flame. You can find these canisters in many Asian food stores and sometimes sporting stores, I've even seen them in Costco from time to time. You usually get 3 to 4 canisters from about $6 to $8. I'm looking forward to all the many uses one can do with a culinary torch, and not just creme brulée, and I don't need to have a second type of butane canister to do it.

Used it for two weeks and loved it, then it stopped mixing air into the gas supply and so it can no longer operate safely. Instead it just spews butane and will not light. I regret not spending the extra twenty bucks to buy a high quality iwatani torch instead.

Most economic torch for the kitchen,

This review is from: Sterno ST06003 Professional Culinary Torch (Kitchen)
With generic butane tanks being sold for about a dollar at the local Chinese supermarkets, the Sterno Torch is powerful and cheap to refill. I use it for glazing over meats after any sous vide cooking. The trigger is easy to reach and never failed. At the end of the day, it's a simple torch at a fair price, not the $50 that other brands are asking for.
