Cooking Torch

[Yorky]

Question to the group:
Do Butane Torches give the food that butane gas taste?

I use mine for searing steaks. I've never noticed a butane taste.

Butane is pretty clean. I don't notice a butane flavor. Propane can leave a propane flavor, if you aren't careful, and let the flame get too close to your food -- unless you have a catalyst type adapter, like the Searzall.

I don't use the sous vide that much, but I think I will try the torch to sear the meat next time.
I prefer to sous vide pork chops over beef steaks, as I've gotten pretty good on the grill ... not to toot my own horn or anything, but with a gorgeous creature like this gasser ...

... oh, I meant the grill that is...

I don't know why, but part of me feels like it's cheating to use one.

Yeah, I do as well. I use one mostly for desserts though.

I use them for lighting cigars...
(S´alright, I was just leavin´)

At least you don't use it to singe your ear hairs.

No - not at all as far as I can tell.

I have another idea, you can make wonderful decorations with raw meringue and the torch

 

[GadgetGuy]

I had one before. I plan to get anotther one soon.

Nah. Nivea cream and sulphuric acid does that for me, mate.
