EurKitchen Professional Grade Culinary Torch

If you've watched any cooking show you've seen chefs using a torch to create the beautiful toasted look on creme brulees and meringue pies. Pictured below is what I ma talking about in case you were drawing a blank to what either of those culinary treats were. Neither picture is my own and was found through an internet search so I claim no ownership of these photos. These are simply for an idea of what these treats are.

Now that you know what they are let me tell you how you can get these same results at home. I can promise you though that you don't have to be a professional to make these good looking treats. All it takes is a culinary torch like the one that I am reviewing in this blog.

 This easy to use culinary torch safely and easily browns your meringues and creme brulees with little effort and as long as you follow the safety procedures their should be no issues with any injuries while using it. I say safety procedures but in reality it is just common sense to keep your fingers away from the flame and to not touch the metal until it has plenty of time to cool down. And of course I can not stress this enough that it should be kept out of reach of children.

With this torch you can easily impress your guests with beautiful professional looking culinary treats. The possibilities of what you can do with this torch are endless.

I will let you know ahead of time that this torch doe not come with butane which is the fuel that you use to power this torch. But never fear you can find it at most stores for anywhere from $2-$8 depending on what you buy and where you buy it from.

Below is the description of this torch as told by the company that sells it this way they can in their own words have their say on their product.

Fire things up!

The EurKitchen Culinary Torch is the ideal way to engage in 2 taboos: playing with your food, and playing with fire! This handy cooking accessory is a must-have for home kitchens, as well as professional chefs and bartenders. Most recognized for caramelizing sugar on crème brûlée, this butane torch has myriad of other uses in preparing sweet and savory dishes and drinks.

Lightweight, durable and designed with safety in mind

It is lightweight to reduce hand fatigue, and delivers superior control for browning meringues, toasting marshmallows and searing seafood. The Piezo press button ignition ensures reliable and immediate lighting, and the Gas Flow Regulator dial lets you easily adjust the continuous flame up to 6" and a temperature of 2370°F (1300°C). The TUV CE certified torch has a safety lock that prevents involuntary lighting, while built-in hand and finger guards protect you from the torch's extreme heat. The EurKitchen Culinary Torch can be quickly refilled with any brand of butane. (NOTE: Please ensure that the Gas Flow Regulator dial is completely closed and locked when filling.) This compact, portable kitchen accessory is perfect for catering, picnics and every home bar.
