Know before you buy
This torch requires standard butane gas, which is the same type used for most refillable lighters. Please note that the torch is shipped empty, so you will need to purchase a canister of butane separately.
Once you ignite the torch, you can engage the continuous flame lock to keep the fire burning without needing to hold down the ignition button. This is particularly useful for longer tasks like searing large cuts of meat or caramelizing multiple crème brûlée portions.
The torch features a built-in child safety lock to prevent accidental ignition. While this adds a necessary layer of security, it should always be stored in a secure location out of reach of children when not in use.
Yes, the torch features an adjustable flame dial that allows you to control the size and heat of the flame. This gives you the precision needed for delicate tasks like melting cheese or browning meringues.
The extended nozzle keeps your hand at a safer distance from the flame, while the burn-free guard acts as a physical barrier to protect your fingers from heat. These features are designed to provide better control and comfort during extended use.
