Professional Quality Creme Brulee Torch. Ideal Kitchen Cooking Torch to add Color and Texture to your dishes. Model: BBT-2

When cooking steaks or roast I use a Sous Vide Supreme cooker (now used in many streak houses) which gives me a true 134 degree medium rare steak that is very tender. The problem with this method is the outside layer is also a medium rare color and I like a well seared outside look. I had been using my outdoor BBQ grill to sear it for a minute on both sides, but during the many rains in Florida, getting wet to sear a steak is not reasonable. I read that using a blowtorch would accomplish a perfect sear and I bought the BBT-2 which a friend uses in his restaurant for searing Creme Brûlée. The first use of the BBT-2 for searing my medium-rare steaks sold me, giving a perfect sear color without drying the outside of the steak. I don't have to roll out my BBQ grill now to sear the steaks and I don't have to smoke up the kitchen using an iron skillet to sear.

Works as you'd expect. It may just be that I'm getting used to the system, but I thought the gas would last a little longer. Was able to brulee 4 small dishes, but had to refill for the remaining 2. Refilling is easy, but the bruleeing itself does take time and you'll want to practice your technique (small circles, not too close to the food, but somewhat close). I do like that it has the hand guard below the flame spout and that you can use it at any angle.

Adjustable flame, easy to refill from standard butane lighter fuel can.Doesn't leak as mine sits for months between use.Can be used for cooking, starting fires, heat shrink tubing ( carefully) etc.Stands securely when placed down with wide rim on base to prevent accidental knock over. Excellent build quality and used in many commercial kitchens for creme brulee, meat searing, cheese melting, meringue etc.

My wife is a good cook and she likes her gadgets. I bought this for her for her birthday. We had Crème Brulee that night and it was fantastic. After that, she used it on a few meals....then it disappeared into a cabinet. Sigh.It works really well and has an intuitive design (Nothing to be afraid of flame-wise) but its uses are very specialized.If you don't intend to use it frequently, don't get it but if it sparks your creativity, it's awesome. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I'm going to set it on the counter tonight to see what happens!

works ok I bought it for the sole purpose of lighting my kamado grill. if you turn it upside down it will start spitting out fuel and creating a nice fireball inside the grill, have to turn the fuel down low like a bic lighter to get it to quit. second bad thing about this is that when you fill it half of the fuel goes in the tank the other half spills all over the torch and the base, they recommend doing this three times which would mean that you would waste quite a bit of fuel causing it to be close to the cost of a regular torch for plumbing from the big box store, maybe it works ok for whatever cooking purpose that I can not be of any help for but as a grill lighter will go with something else next time, good thing I can buy vector fuel in the 6 packs gonna be needing it

In spite of its rather large size, this butane torch never seemed to hold much fluid. The regulator seemed to be very tempramental as well. Sometimes it put out a very large flame and sometimes none. I often found myself shaking it to try to get to work properly. I used it for a year, hoping it would eventually work its own kinks out. Finally, I gave up and bought another.

This torch is easy to use and well built. It feels like it is very good quality and it works exactly as described. I bought this to compliment my Anova Sous Vide and it is perfect. The price is very good for the quality. I have never owned a torch before and I found it quite easy to use. I highly recommend!

Bought based on other reviews to try to make my copy cat Honey Baked ham recipe I saw on Pinterest. The torch is great. Easy to use and fair price. This is my first time to use a torch and it will take some practice. No complaints whatsoever on the product though.
