It was such a minor thing and I was about to do it anyway.

But yes, as always, please use the Report button for any suggestions to mods. Its for positive suggestions as well as complaints.
 
I found this regarding cooking aubergine with blowtorch for baba ganoush:

See Workshop Blowtorch Baba Ganoush

The wire support does it's job well here too. It holds on to the eggplant and I just run around the surface with the flame and burnt the skin. I spent less time with the blow torch than the gas stove top method, I had the feeling it may not have been completely cooked all the way through so I microwaved it for 2 minutes just to be sure. In hindsight I could have just kept going at it with the blowtorch, maybe lower the flame, and the heat would have done the job for me. around the surface with the flame and burnt the skin.

My husband is a DYI person, he fixes everything in my house, we rarely have to get anybody over to fix anything yet. So I rather not fight about little things.

Fair enough.
I’m the DIY person in my house. I fix pretty much everything. Mostly courtesy of my dad believing in equality.
In the last 10 years we’ve had about two workman here, one plumber and one builder to lay a substantial amount of concrete for the outdoor kitchen.
Apart from that I do everything. It’s not mentally difficult but it is often physically demanding.
Fortunately I have three gorillas here I can point and press the go button on so generally no need for outside help.

Since my boys could speak they’d break stuff and come to me with the broken object held out saying “Mummy fix” 😂

I’m impressed. While I’m no wallflower myself, I did help doing stuff outside the house, particularly the hardscape of my yard, some of the bricks weight a ton, but when it comes to cars and fixing inside the house, my husband is the chief. Same with washing dishes, and one key thing I learned early in life is never to argue with the person who does your dishes, lol.

I think to need to get one of these!
I have a bbq/fire lighter but they're non refillable 😐 and I use the stove top gas ring for charring chiles and stuff. OH has proper blow torches but they're nowhere near the kitchen!

And I like pineapple on pizza on occasion 😅😅

They are handy.
And like you everytime I mentioned I was going to get a blowtorch Mr SSOAP would say no need I have one.
Which he kept in a works van and was never available when I actually needed it!

Its one of my favourite gadgets. I don't have many favourite gadgets. Its so fast and easy to use, apart from anything else.

Edit: and it doesn't need cleaning/washing.
