Butane Torch Kitchen Blow Lighter Gas burner, Culinary Torches Chef Cooking Professional Adjustable Flame with Reverse Use, for Creme, Brulee, BBQ, Camp, Baking, Jewelry welding (Butane Not Included)

This little guy worked better than expected. It's a quick snap on and twist and then you're up and running. I've gotten a bed of charcoal going withing a few minutes and it's very easy to handle. Can't beat its function and great price.

Great little device. I had one before that you couldn't adjust the flame intensity. This one is great. I can turn candles on or start a fire. Which is what I use it for.

Great for the price, but it was prone to flair ups until it got a little seasoning in. Had to be smart with the knobs and air flow until then. After I got some use in though that passed with time and it work great now. Worth the hassle for the price.

My only issue with this is that it did not come with instructions. It’s not that you really need them (and they are on this sales page) but there are people who have not used these and who need the 3 lines of instructions required to handle this correctly. I have posted pictures with the controls noted. Simply, you get a really nice burst of high-temperature flame and it’s easily dialed down from a soft flame to a sharp-pointed flame. There are two controls, other than the trigger to ignite the flame, the gas flow, and the shape, that’s all there is to it. It will throw a very long flame with the gas flow knob open all the way, but it will be short enough to light a cigar with the gas flow almost closed. They do mention on the package that for the first two minutes before the barrel is heated, you might get a flare if you tilt more than 15 degrees. I doubt that this will be an issue for anyone. This will keep its flame in any position, even upside-down after the 2-minute warm-up. You can certainly use this without the 2-minute warm-up, and for most things such as caramelizing a Crème brûlée, you will not likely need to let it warm. The only warning is that you do not need to hold the trigger to keep it lit, so there is no fast release for the flame. Once it is lit the only way to turn it off is to close the gas flow knob. If you’re clumsy, this can be a potential issue since if it falls out of your hand it will remain lit. Most chefs find this to be a good feature since they don’t need to keep their fingers on the trigger. Review of: Butane Torch Kitchen Blow Lighter Gas burner, Culinary Torches

The butane canisters you see in the pictures can be found in every Asian Supermarket. They are made for portable stoves used for making Korean BBQ, Chinese hotpots, Japanese Sukiyaki, or just making Youtube cooking videos, really. This butane torch attachment takes a butane canister that is already found in many households and turns them into blow torches that can be used for Creme Brulee or browning that perfectly cooked sous vide steak. The resulting torch may not look as pretty as the torches you see chefs use on TV, but this certainly gets the job done. Previously, I purchased a similar item that only had a valve and no flame control and I found that I was unable to brown a steak very well. Half of the flame was outside of the steak itself and it used up a LOT of butane to do even a single steak. I also had to light the thing with the butane turned up somewhat high, making it quite dangerous. This attachment focuses the flame and has a trigger for self lighting. It also has a knob at the back to control the amount of flame. It works so well for that perfect brown sear on my sous vide steaks.

I have to learn how to regulate the amount of gas emitted.

I love adding a bit char or some light golden color to a number of my meals but typical kitchen torches use those small butane canisters so they can't pump out a decent flame and they run out very quickly. This is a great, inexpensive option for those who want a more robust flame that will last longer. You do miss out on some of the nicer control features but for me it's worth it.

Product is awesome exactly as described in the listing and the packaging comes with instructions on how to use

Produto devolvido.

Após usar umas 10 ou 15 vezes, parece que o produto não consegue mais prender o gás direito no seu mecanismo e sai gás para todo o lado. Queimei minha mão e tive grande dificuldade de apagar o gás butano. Tomem cuidado! Não comprem!

El encendido piezoelectrico no tiene la potencia necesaria hay que encenderlo con un fosforo !!

Barato mas muito frágil

Funciona bem, eu que esqueci de comprar o gás..
