The [culinary torch](http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Creme-Brulee-Culinary-Kitchen/dp/B018WK4NRA/ref=sr_1_71?ie=UTF8&qid=1455821408&sr=8-71&keywords=culinary+torch), fueled by butane has many creative uses around the home besides the commonly known use of caramelizing sugar on the top of a creme brulee. The applications in the kitchen are endless and limited only by one's imagination. Meringues on top of pies can be perfectly browned for a mouthwatering finish or a baked ham given a glaze for that special occasion.

For breakfast, a grapefruit cut in half, loosen the segments so that they can be easily removed then sprinkle with white or brown sugar and maybe some cinnamon or nutmeg, it can then be heated with the torch until the sugar caramelizes with a nice crisp crackle topping.

Use the torch to sear and easily peel tomatoes when making a sauce, when the skin starts to crack, set the tomato aside to cool, then peel. Any type of vegetables can also be charred giving them a really nice look when served for a special occasion.

A toasted breadcrumb topping made with the torch can be used on many dishes including salads and casseroles.

The torch kitchen can also be used for DIY, the compact size is ideal in close quarters and the air flow valve easily controls the temperature. The piezo ignition and safe locking device prevents accidental use and the sturdy stand base holds the torch upright for safety when not in use.

Lighting the BBQ is another convenient use for the kitchen torch and with easy access to the butane gas filling hole on the bottom, it can be refilled many times.

Using the torch for making jewellery is a favorite past-time with the adjustable temperature and flame control.
