Well, this was on my Christmas list but I received it for my birthday today. I've never used one before - so any tips, tricks or recipes appreciated:
Chef's Blowtorch
- Thread starter Morning Glory
- Start date
Lullabelle
Midlands, England
Thank you. I was sensible enough not to try it out tonight!

You've got it pointing the wrong way. Otherwise, you can't go wrong , it's a pretty intuitive tool - you will know when things start to burn!
Happy Birthday
Yep! You have one then?

Yes, mainly use it for searing things out of the sous vide, or rendering down excess fat on chops without overcooking the meat. Yours looks a much fancier model than mine though - double flames! Respect

This type of lamp gives a very directional and very high heat flame - ideal with a bit of care [I actually use something very similar for silver soldering tiny model engineering items] ours never made it to the kitchen. The only tip I can give is always remember to keep the flame moving - a moments inattention and you will burn a black hole in almost anything and be careful sealing meat - the fat 
Have fun

I had one! I plan to get another one. Great for caramelizing the sugar on top of crème brulea!!
