Product Information

Kitchen torches are most notably used for caramelizing sugar on the top of a crème brûlée. You can also use one to brown marshmallows, roast peppers, melt cheese, caramelize the top of a casserole, brûlée a grapefruit, and brown meringue.

This torch is super powerful, but its adjustable fuel control allows you to use it for delicate applications like crème brûlée or meringue, as well as heftier projects. Crank up the fuel control and use the full power flame for tasks like searing steaks, roasting peppers, or lighting a campfire. The truth of the matter is that a butane torch is not powerful enough for hardcore welding tasks. Welding requires heat in excess of 6,000°F, whereas, as mentioned earlier, a butane torch can only reach around 2,610°F. However, it’s not impossible, and, with an industrial-grade torch, you may be able to get a little welding done on thinner metals, but bear in mind that a butane torch will be nowhere near as effective as a welder, or even a propane torch, and is not likely to be a good use of the tool or your time.

The removable base of this butane torch means this tool can be used either on a table (hands-free) or as a hand-held torch. The adjustable flame allows users to increase or decrease the flame temperature, and, like most butane torches, if the electric ignition system fails, this torch can still be lit using an external flame for a continuous 30 minutes of burning time.

Typically it is best to start around the edges of the meringue and work your way to the center, moving on when the previous area has a nice golden brown surface."

A butane torch may be small, but these gadgets can reach temperatures of up to 2,610°F which is enough to melt copper, aluminum, and many other metals.

This butane torch is self-igniting, is made of stainless steel, ceramic, plastic, and iron, and has up to 1.5 hours of continuous burn time. The self-ignition button makes this one of the easiest butane torches to light, and it’s one of the few torches with an automatic ignition system. Torch heads are screwed onto canisters, which means it’s simpler to refill because the gas is coming directly from the source, as opposed to refilling a smaller canister. That said, this setup does require holding the entire canister as you use it, which can prove more difficult for inexperienced cooks. Torch heads and refillable canisters are roughly the same size, but you need to keep in mind that when you’re using a torch head, you’ll also have the entire canister attached, which can be larger and bulky. Torch heads are typically the version that you’ll find in professional kitchens as they’re more efficient, they outlast refillable canisters, and they’re more powerful. What’s more, the continuous flame ignites easily for a burn time of up to two hours with the fuel gauge at maximum. Additionally, the adjustable flame allows users to modify the gas flow to extend the burning time.This butane gas torch provides a flame of 0.5–1.25 inches in length, and one shopper commented, “I use this torch for soldering sterling jewelry.

Stays steady even upside down, doesn't go ‘whoosh’ and change flame size like some others I have tried.” Specifications
