5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Cooks! 18 Jan 2010
Never mind using for cooking, how about model work?
I use mine for soft soldering and bending metal wire by heating it to red heat!
Having had one of the micro blowtorches that were a real pain to use, once I got this device it was so much easier, a really good tool to use and works very well indeed.
I would recommend the product without reservation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job 9 Mar 2010
Easy to operate; good results; gas available from most supermarkets and places where they sell cigarettes. If you buy it for crème brûlée, practice first on tinned rice pudding (Elizabeth David tip). Difficult to see the point of buying a more expensive model unless you want a different colour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not essential but very useful 26 Oct 2010
By S. Thomas #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
I have been using this blowtorch for a couple of years now and have found it very practical as well as easy to use.

Filling with butane (not supplied with the product) is straightforward - the nozzle on the canister fits easily onto a thin tube fitted into the base of the blowtorch. I check one has been correctly inserted onto the other by moving the butane canister gently sideways; if it moves, it isn't on properly, so I have another go. You get a feel for when the blowtorch has been sufficiently filled from changes to resistance and I normally stop in time, if not, a small amount of butane spills out and you can feel the cold but it doesn't hurt and quickly evaporates off.

The length of the flame is controlled via a dial on the top and the flame is ignited via the red button on the side.

I was wary using it at first but gained confidence fairly quickly, helped by the fact that the black ribbed plastic ensures you keep a firm grip. It also feels reassuringly sturdy, without being too heavy. Whilst it is not really an essential piece of equipment to have in the kitchen, it makes life a bit easier and I have no regrets about buying mine, even though it does not get used every day.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first kitchen blowtorch
This is my first blowtorch, I have nothing to compare it to. It seems to work well, but if you want to try it straight away, buy the correct gas before it arrives. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars very small
Didn't realise it was so small as no dimensions were given. It is quite difficult for my husband to use due to length of the canister being shorter than the width of his hand. Read more
