Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BonJour Professional Chef's Torch
Customer Review: Chef's Torch Was Defective
Summary: 1 Stars
This torch was great for the few seconds that it actually worked. It would sear pepper skins marvelously for 30-60 seconds and then just shut off. Either the stop would be spontaneous or the safety lock would click up and shut the torch off. It then could not be turned on until a 10 minute or so cooldown had been allowed. Then the torch could be turned on and another 30 seconds or so of operation enjoyed. Overall, a disappointing item.
Description of BonJour Professional Chef's Torch
The BonJour professional creme brulee torch features a powerful flame that quickly caramelizes sugar, browns meringues or melts cheese toppings. This torch has a large 40-milliliter fuel capacity for over 3-1/2 hours of burn time. Customize the intensity of the flame for various cooking projects. Features a cool touch metal body and rubberized stand. Butane not included.Crème brûlée, a classic restaurant dessert, is simple enough to make at home with BonJour's powerful Professional Crème brûlée Torch. Other uses for the torch include browning meringue-topped desserts, melting or browning cheese on onion soup or casseroles, and blackening peppers and tomatoes for smoky salsas. This sturdy torch is made of brushed silver-tone metal with black and red accents; the stay-cool body serves as the grip while the flame is controlled with a simple thumb-activated button at the top. A removable rubberized stand allows the torch to be stored upright in a cupboard.
A safety lock prevents unintentional ignition and snaps back into place each time the ignition button is pressed. A simple slide button adjusts the length of the flame, while flame width can be altered with a sliding air-control lever; these two functions allow the user to focus the flame as tightly or as broadly as necessary. The BonJour Professional Crème brûlée Torch has a 40-milliliter fuel capacity, which allows more than 3-1/2 hours of burn time. Butane fuel is not included; it can be purchased at gourmet, hardware, or convenience stores. The torch comes with detailed instructions for fueling, igniting, and adjusting the flame. --Garland Withers
