Before refilling your torch, you should always ensure that the gas flow is off. The refill port and nozzle is at the bottom of the torch. Give the butane a little shake, and then insert the nozzle into the canister while pressing and holding. This pressure will create a flow that allows the butane to enter the nozzle. After a few seconds, the canister will be filled and you can release. It’s best to refill your torch in an open space. To get the best meringue result when torching, it’s important not to stay in one spot too long,” says Domenica Lazo, Assistant Application Chef at Barry Callebaut. “Depending on the power of the torch, I may hold it 1.5 to 3.5 inches away from the direct surface. Typically it is best to start around the edges of the meringue and work your way to the center, moving on when the previous area has a nice golden brown surface."

It’s used the same way as any propane torch. Most torches are either a refillable canister or a torch head. The former are smaller and less bulky, making them a great option for beginners. Torches with refillable canisters have a small amount of butane in the handle and can be refilled from a separate butane canister. It’s always helpful when the refillable canister models show you how much butane is left so that you know when it’s time to refill. If you’re using the torch frequently, it can become somewhat annoying to constantly refill, but for the occasional torching, these refillable canisters are great.

They’re inexpensive to buy, and they make for quite a powerful tool in anyone’s arsenal.
