Solid Chef Torch
 
Review Date: March 2, 2010
Reviewer: Bill, Vacaville, CA
I was looking for a torch primarily for making creme brulee. This one got good reviews on Amazon so I figured I would give it a try. I have only used it a few times but it works well for making the brulee. It is made solidly and puts out a strong flame. I was in a department store and picked up a different brand of torch, which felt very cheap compared to this BonJour Torch. The fuel gauge is a nice additional feature included with this torch. I am happy with the purchase of this torch.
Produces A Mighty Flame! Highly Recommended

The BonJour Chef's Torch is larger and significantly more powerful than the two other standard crème brulee torches we own. We use these torches in our home for cooking and in our our small business where we teach crafts. Here are my observations:

Pros:
+ Large Base; able to stand very stably on its own which is handy when locked on for hands free use
+ Comfortable Grip; the aluminum body is perfectly sized for medium to larger hands
+ Large Flame; has a good range of flame sizes, but lowest is still fairly high in comparison to other torches
+ Fuel Window; easy to see how much fuel is in the torch
+ Good Looking; this does not look cheap, which is good if using it in front of guests or customers (like we do)

Cons:
- Recessed screw holes on aluminum body are sharp, we filled them with modeling clay since it is unlikely we will ever need to take it apart
- Uses a lot more fuel than our other torches, but that is the trade off for the larger flame

This might be more than some people need, but it does work very well for our needs!

Highly Recommended!

Just as advertised, so far

Have only used it once, but very happy with its performance while making a creme brulee. Good flame control. Also, looks like it would make an excellent cigar lighter on a breezy deck.

Nice hot flame.

Seems to go through butane faster than my other torch, but I only used it a couple of times so far. Reason for only 4 out of 5 stars.

Reviewer: Edwin L. Hamilton,
I had been wanting a torch to make brulee, soup, etc. easier and this was given to me for Christmas. I really love having it. It lives up to all it's promise. Now I need some ramekins. Thanks. Cora
