I've played with the best ways to sear foods every since I started cooking Sous Vide. I bought a cheap small torch, which is great for Creme Brule, etc., and then I bought a slightly bigger torch because the small one really wasn't practical for searing a steak or burger. But I put off spending more for a real flame thrower because I wasn't sure: 1. That it would be that effective, 2. that I could justify the cost of the $200 torch I see everywhere, 3. that the "overseas" manufactured cheapies would hold up, and well, you get the idea.This torch, while made in China, is from a USA owned small business and promised a 1 year unconditional guarantee. And the price was really reasonable for a decent product. So I took and chance and bought it. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. The torch seems to be well made, but most importantly, after using it several times on steaks and burgers, it just works really well. The flame lights easily and produced a beautiful blue flame that leaves absolutely no fuel taste on the food. (A problem I had when I tried my garden torch!) The large width and hot temp of the flame make it pragmatic to torch not just burgers and steaks, but a I've done a good sized chuck roast quickly and completely.The only caution I have is that it really is a large, very hot flame, so be careful if you use it indoors. It also is pretty loud, sounding a bit like you have a jet flying through your kitchen. (My dog ran and hid under the sofa the first time...). I also tested lighting charcoal with it (one of the many uses they suggest) and I'll never go back to lighter fluid.Very, very pleased with this product. And how can you not have fun with a flame thrower?

This is such a wonderful and fun flame thrower for the kitchen. My daughter loves to use it to make creme brulee and sear steaks. It does it all. Even starts a great fire in the firepit.

We sous vide a 3" steak to medium-rare, then hit it with this. When we cut the steak, it was perfect pink throughout, with a thin dark crust. It was like a cartoon. A few things I've learned.1. Light it on low then turn it up. The gas flow is too high otherwise and there's not enough oxygen, then the high speed blows out the spark before the gas can catch on fire.2. It has a learning curve. Start with lower grade items. Maybe sous vide burgers.3. It works great on beef and pork. Not so good with chicken (at least not skin-on; or maybe I need to handle it differently).4. Turn it up to high if you don't want to recook the inside of the meat. This way you spend less time in contact with the meat. Work on one side of the edge first, then the top. Flip the meat away from you, then work the other edge, then the top again. Working the edge will always get some flame on top, so always do edges first.5. Don't get close to the meat. If the blue part of the flame is touching the meat, you're wasting heat. Back off until only the yellow part is hitting the meat.6. If you're doing it on an unlit grill, clean the grill first, preheat it with the torch, spray any oil on the grill if needed, then place the meat on it. It will sizzle, and will release easier when you go to flip it.7. You will get a nice flame broiled char flavor. If you want smokiness, put the meat under a smoking dome with your favorite smoke for 5-9 minutes while it rests. (we also rest our meats with pats of room temperature butter on them).8. It lights lump charcoal quite well, and fast. No more starters for your smoker/grill!9. Turn it down to the lowest setting (without it going out) when flipping meat. This will save accidentally burning your surroundings and save some fuel.10. If it doesn't seem to burn as hot as it used to, your tank is probably getting low and has lost a lot of pressure.

I appreciate this products thoughtfulness in that it can stand by itself with a standard small propane tank. The box it comes in works well for storage. It is light in weight. The starter works reliably in the months that I’ve used it. I appreciate the safety feature in that it only lights using a small amount of fuel. I primarily use this product to sear steaks/meats, but I can see how this would be really useful to quickly light charcoal. It might be too powerful for applications for baking, and you should definitely NOT use this product indoors. Overall I recommend this product very highly.

It took a bit to get used to. I thought it was broken at first but you just need to keep the gas just barely o open when lighting. Doing that makes it light easily. It has a powerful flame which makes my charcoal light very fast, much faster than a charcoal chimney. I’ve also used it to torch rice I was stir frying giving it a nice crunch.

Works just as well as the far more expensive brands! Amazing value!
