"The flame is adjustable, and the torch comes with a large propane canister you won't have to replace for a very long time, especially if you're only torching one or two desserts at a time."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. Other differences between butane and propane torches are the size of both the torch and the gas tank, with butane versions being much smaller and having smaller tanks, but this often makes them slightly more economical and also more portable.

Below we take a look at some of the features to look out for when on the hunt for a good butane torch. Ignition system Always keep in mind with these torches that there needs to be a fuel source. In some instances, the fuel is included, but not always. Make sure to read the directions thoroughly so that you know exactly what kind of fuel to buy for your device. Some torches require proprietary fuel, so make sure you have some when you plan to use it. If you’re looking for the torch that kitchen professionals swear by, it is without question a Benzomatic.

A butane torch may be small, but these gadgets can reach temperatures of up to 2,610°F which is enough to melt copper, aluminum, and many other metals. Also known as butane lighters, blowtorches, or culinary torches, butane torches can come in handy whether you’re a professional or if you just like to dabble in a bit of home DIY. A butane torch can be useful in many professional or home applications Torching a crème brûlée requires a delicate balance because you need a flame that’s strong enough to caramelize sugar, but you also need to be able to control and easily maneuver this flame so that you don’t completely burn the sugar or warm the custard underneath. This EurKitchen torch offers plenty of control and strength, making it an obvious choice for any crème brûlée enthusiast. The canister can hold 12 grams of butane and the convenient fuel gauge allows you to know when you’re running low and need to refuel. The truth of the matter is that a butane torch is not powerful enough for hardcore welding tasks. Welding requires heat in excess of 6,000°F, whereas, as mentioned earlier, a butane torch can only reach around 2,610°F. However, it’s not impossible, and, with an industrial-grade torch, you may be able to get a little welding done on thinner metals, but bear in mind that a butane torch will be nowhere near as effective as a welder, or even a propane torch, and is not likely to be a good use of the tool or your time.
