Kitchen Butane Blow Torch Lighter - Culinary Torch Chef Cooking Torches Professional Adjustable Flame with Reverse Use for Creme, Brulee, BBQ, Baking, Jewelry by TENGYES, Butane Not Included

The media could not be loaded. I had concerns initially as this torch burner only fits on certain butane canisters which are hard to find anywhere locally via internet search. The torch burner itself is not expensive, but the shipping and handling of the butane canisters sold online are too high to be ignored for the overall cost. Luckily, I found out that Costco business centers carry them as lots of restaurants are using the butane burners which use the same type of canisters. So, without a second thought, I placed the order immediately. （Later, I bought Gasone butane canister and Iwatani butane canister on the Amazon. They are cheap and work well, too）I am glad I bought this torch. It is sooo easy to turn on and off, it is well made. Instructions are clear and simple. Flame its big and easy to control. The flame is around 22 cm when full throttle. I use it for cooking: creme brulee, searing beef, charring eggplants for Middle Eastern food, grilling skin side of fish fillets for interesting Japanese touch, getting the perfect texture on salmon belly, and touching up the skin of oven-roasted chicken.Pros:-Cheap Fuel-Steady, Hot, Wide flame-Adjustable flame intensity-Big. It sits well in the hand with a fuel can attached-Trigger for lighting the flame. No lighter or sparker required-Trigger does not control fuel flow. I thought this would be bad at first, but it would actually be a pain to have to hold the trigger down for extended useCons:- It didn't come with a butane canister.And finally, don't buy this torch as a present to a kid. Do not even use this product creatively anywhere near a kid.

Works as advertised. Comfortable, clean burning, & easily adjustable. Good finish tool for sous vide items, quick toast tostadas, honey baked ham, etc.

This is a great torch for the price point, it's got a built in ignitor button, so you don't have to worry about using a match or other lighter to start it up, the adjustable gas flow knob means you can just turn the gas flow on, pull the trigger to light it, an then fine tune the flame to your desired size, the fact that these run off butane cans means you can sit the torch upright and run it hands free, which is very useful, it's heat is more than you could need to light most anything,an it's also got the fine tuning knob in the front to soften the flame, I honestly wasn't expecting such a nice torch for the price, definitely would recommend, just make sure you get the right type of cans of butane fuel for it, I believe they are typically the 8oz cans.

So easy to use and has a self-ignitor. Very powerful flame if you turn it up to high. Best used outside or on the stovetop so as not to catch your kitchen on fire but we are all professionals here, right?

The media could not be loaded. This is a great little torch. I don't know why it's advertised as just a kitchen torch when it can be used for so many things. It works good and seems to be very sturdy and easy to use. One of my favorite things about it is I can turn it upside down while using it and it still works. That is one of the annoying things about my big torch. I make my own plant stands and texture the wood with my torch to give it character. I also do pour painting and use it to torch my paintings to pop the air bubbles and bring the cells to the surface. I did another video showing how well it works upside down but was only allowed to post one video. I've only had it for a few days but tried it out on on the wood burning and painting to make sure it was going to work for what I needed it for. I can't attest for longevity but it appears to be good quality. I'm sure I will find other things that it works for also.

Loved this when I got it. Using for Sous-vide was great, took it camping to help with fire starting and adding extra browning as folks requested, worked great, but when I tried to use it a month ago, when i tried to attach the butane tank it leaked. No matter how, it always leaked. Not sure where the failure is, but I need to buy a new one.As with most things I buy, I want at least 5 years. Not seeing it with this. Not sure why it failed, bought 2 tanks the first tank worked fine and still has butane in it both tanks now leak, both leak so it must be the torch.

This torch may look like others, but it is different. It is held together by screws. Most of the other lookalikes are glued together. Its a cheaper way to manufacture, but it cannot be maintained. The glued versions are essentially throwaways. For instance, if a bit of moisture enters, it must be thrown away because it cannot be dried out. The screws allow access for cleaning and general maintenance. I expect this torch to last for years. The flame is very adjustable. It can be a "soft" or "hard" shaped flame. It can be strong, or meek. It is very easy to use. I use it mostly for crème brûlée and for charring Sous Vide meats.
