Masterclass Professional Blowtorch
This professional model is especially good for flambéing various steaks/meats, vegetables, and desserts. We’ve all seen chefs caramelize the sugar on top of a Crème Brûlée, but this blowtorch makes it possible, for instance, to avoid using a pan/grill when searing meat after a round in sous vide. It is particularly good for, for example, browning pork taken directly from the freezer and vacuum-packed without thawing.
It’s great that it uses butane gas (the same as a regular lighter), which makes it easy to refill when it’s empty and doesn’t require a gas canister to be attached/detached.
The torch also has the handy feature that the button doesn’t need to be held down to keep the flame going, giving a bit more freedom to work with it.
Specifications
– Flame temperature up to 1,300 °C
– Safety lock
– Made in sleek chrome
– Adjustable air intake for controlling the flame’s temperature
