Some spots were charred, but overall the flavor was excellent and, when I cut into the steak, it showed no noticeable gray band. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use. So many uses - Ideal for caramelizing sugar atop crème brulee, glazing a baked ham, searing a steak, roasting bell peppers, melting cheese and toasting bread crumbs.

The super hot 1300°C (2500°F) flame can be adjusted to suit any task such as caramelising sugar on a creme brulee, crisping up a meringue or adding that flame-grilled flavour to your steak. This also means you do have to find the right sort of butane canister to attach to, but in the long run, it’s a cheaper torch to use, and easier and safer to bring with you if you go camping or want to travel with it. And though its use seems limited to making crème brûlée, making it seem like a unitasker piece of equipment, the ability to apply direct hot heat to a food surface makes it versatile. I recorded the optimal distance for searing, as well as the time it took to achieve a full sear on all sides.

With sous vide steak, we looked for kitchen torches that were able to develop deeply browned crusts without adding any off flavors. PACKED WITH SAFETY FEATURES - The Livivo Kitchen Blowtorch has been designed with safety in mind and includes a stable stand, lock feature and hand guard to keep you safe during use.

Though I see the potential in the Searzall for other applications, I think there are better options for a straight-up torch that aren’t so limiting. Kitchen torches and crème brûlée go hand in hand, so much so that they are often sold as “brûlée torches.

On Wednesday night, to the horror of many amateur chefs, Mary Berry decreed that blow torching your brulee was beyond the pale. After cooking and patting the portions dry, I seared each portion on all sides with a kitchen torch on the highest setting until each side was browned.
