| Wish List FulfilledSeptember 14, 2015 I have been wanting a culinary torch forever. Since I live with my daughter, She always discouraged my purchasing it since we have so many commodities in our kitchen and she said it was unnecessary. Never insisted. But when I saw yours online ,I said I;m buying even if I make crème brulee once a year. It's my favorite dessert!It came the other day and I used it immediately. It was very easy to use. instructions were clear to follow, and worked so well on the crème brulee I had prepared in anticipation.Thank you very much. I love it Vilma Gallo 100% happyAugust 3, 2015 Awesome! It works great. Very easy to use. I don't use it professionally, for now I use it to roast marshmallows on a skewer while I watch TV. It has a lock on the top left to keep you from accidental firing. There is a gas selector knob on the top back which you don't need turned up very high to get a great flame and the spark igniter button is easy to push like a trigger. It also comes with a small base stand for when not in use. I definitely recommend this product if you like easy fire. Great torch at the price for a lot of food things not Creme Brulee related.July 17, 2015 I just got into Sous Vide cooking and went on the hunt for a torch that I could use in my kitchen after cooking some food that needed some brazing to make it look properly presentable on the kitchen table. This torch really goes beyond my expectations, it's incredibly powerful and I did hamburgers for my first sous vide meal and typical of cooking hamburgers the first couple of patties I really burned them to a crisp. At a certain point people were waiting with plates and I was just frying hamburgers and threatening to light their paper plates on fire if they got too close.After getting the hang of moving this torch properly so as not to 'ignite' the meat as people don't seem to be into that, this butane torch really does a fantastic job for the price. The instructions don't mention it but I use a high quality butane that is triple filtered, sadly the easiest and quickest access to triple+ filtered butane is from your local smoke shop. But I did try this with normal grocery store butane and some people complained of being able to taste the gas which I couldn't discount altogether, after a few refills of the higher quality butane nobody has since complained about an off putting taste. Then again those that complained haven't gotten a second invite for free food... SO impressed by this little thing!July 7, 2015 Holy cow! We have been so excited to use this little torch. It works perfectly, and doesn't shut off until you turn it off. Very reliable, and we are very happy about this purchase. Creme brûlée at home. The best!! Loved the torch.February 22, 2015 Loved it. Finally made home made creme brulee and it was the best! No more expensive deserts buying it a restaurant. I've been wanting to buy one of these kitchen torches for years and finally did it for Valentines creme brûlée at home. I have not tried any others, I bought this as a result of reading the other reviews on Amazon. It was so great. The torch worked beautifully. I literally took it out of the box, filled it was butane that I bought at the drug store and starting browning the sugar on the creme brûlée in a total of about 2 minutes time. Very easy to use. Loved the ability to turn down or crank up the flame. It felt very comfortable in the hand. It worked perfectly. I'm not a professional chef, just a mom and wife who loves to cook and as I've gained experience I've tried more 'difficult' things. Creme brûlée was a little intimidating, don't know why, it was a breeze. So glad I made this inexpensive torch purchase. One dinner out with creme bruele as the desert would have cost me AT LEAST twice the cost of this torch. Not just for Creme Brûlée!January 28, 2015 This is a terrific butane torch. I've owned 2 other torches; the quality of those didn't even come close to that of the Vie De Chef torch. Besides being solidly built and comfortable to use, the flame regulator feature is fantastic! Besides Creme Brûlée, I've used it to blacken the skins of red peppers, crisp bacon wrapped scallops and to sear beef before popping it in the oven. | Great quality!June 26, 2017 Use it all the time. Great quality! great value.March 8, 2016 will purchase again, great value. Great product!January 31, 2016 This thing is awesome! How did I live so long without it? It's really well built, easy to fill, and lights easily. I use for many things! I love this Torch.January 6, 2016 I love this Torch...I am using it for Creme Brulee and to flame the Charcoal for Barbecue. Powerful That's what I needed!July 12, 2015 I never had a kitchen torch so I can't compare this one to others but I have to say it - I love it! It just perfect in every way, size, look, functionality! Can't wait to try it on other than just creme brûlée:-) Great Torch!May 6, 2015 Received today just in time for Creme Brulee this weekend, i just pull my first ramekin, filled up the torch, worked great. Solid design, well built, holds a lot of Butane, I suggest using Puretane if your usung this for food. Puretane doesnt leave behind any residual flavors, a little more expensive but worth it.Sometimes i have to fire twice in order to get it to light, but once she goes she goes good, came out of the box on the lowest setting and had a good torch going, didnt even need to raise up at all to get it work for what I needed. For $35 this is a steal. Very happy with my purchase, will update if any problems are seen from weekly use over time.After some months of use to torch became very dangerous. On the lowest setting, the torch throws out a flame of a bout a foot and a half, and slowly burns out after I release the button. this torch has been fantastic so far. I dont think i over filled it by any means. ill re-post once i figure out warranty stuff. |

| I returned it, but customer service was great!!September 23, 2016 I can see this torch being great for cooking. I mean it does say culinary torch I'm the description. I however order it to use as a tech torch. The flame is too massive for this kind of use if you are needing a fine flame torch. Even at the lowest setting it blows out a pretty massive flame. I returned it and was issued a refund immediate. Superb customer service from the company The torch is easy to use and adjustAugust 22, 2016 I bought this torch as a compliment to my recent purchase of a water circulator sous vide set up for my home.Last night came the real test. A steak dinner!The torch is easy to use and adjust. It created the perfect finish on the sear on the steaks.The torch isn't fancy. It is a kitchen utility. You can spend more for one, but, this one will be a party of my kitchen arsenal for a long time. Desserts, sous vide, spiders, it's good for all. Super easy to useApril 9, 2016 Super easy to use. Strong piezoelectricity for ignition- this baby EATS butane though. The small internal canister for keeping butane isn't large enough to keep this going for very long.Whether you're using the torch for cooking, housework, medicinal purposes, or something else that requires a torch, this torch is best served for one or two item uses.If you're using this to flambé or to crust or melt- it'll work. NICE TORCH-READ HERE FOR HOW TO USE...September 6, 2015 I accidentally bought two of these, so I will do a bit of comparing. First of all, I found this one superior to the other. No good directions on how to use, so let me explain after much research. First if all, use the proper butane, made for cooking torches and not for lighters. Secondly, turn the torch upside down and press the butane filler for about 10-15 seconds or until you see it bubbling around the inlet. Let it sit for a minute before you light it. To light this torch, push the safety button (on side of barrel) downward. Then turn the gas knob on the back counterclockwise until you hear a hissing noise. The trigger in the front is the igniter. You can adjust the flame or turn off the torch using the back knob. I really liked this torch. Just needs better directions. I do like it and having funJuly 28, 2015 I do like this torch and am sure once I use it more I will learn to love it. I took the suggestions that many before this post and ordered the Sun brand butane but it did not have the correct nozzle to use with this torch. You need to have the butane that fits lighters, it will have a white tip for it to work. I am looking forward to using it more, I did use it last night to make s'mores and it did a good job, after I adjusted the flame. lol I think that I will enjoy it more, like I said when I find more reasons for it. My 17 year old son said he couldn't wait to use it....had to put my foot down hard on that one, I could see my furniture, floors and everything else that I hold dear being singed. Will post again when I have more experience with this torch..looking forward to it Great product, minor gripeJuly 6, 2015 This is a great torch and lasts a long time. My only concern with it is the lack of a definite off switch. The On/Off switch is really an Unlock/Lock switch for the trigger, still letting the gas flow through if the gas is turned. Sometimes it gets very loud in the kitchen and having no real way of knowing if it's off or not, there could be a serious hazard. To turn it off, make sure you turn the gas knob clockwise until it can't turn anymore. | It works great. I just don't use it that muchDecember 29, 2016 It works great. I just don't use it that much. Works great! My only remark is that I found it ...February 24, 2016 Works great! My only remark is that I found it a bit difficult to reload...lost a lot of gas when doing it. I may be doing something wrong or it is due to my lack of practice. Not all metalJune 29, 2015 Don't be fooled by the packaging saying all metal. The important ignition piece are plastic, which means they will probably wear and break like other similar torches like this I've had problems with. |

| OkApril 11, 2017 pain to refill, cumbersome to operate but effective once you get the hang of it Great price for an awesome torchDecember 11, 2016 Awesome torch that works perfectly. It's incredibly easy to fill, adjust the settings, and use.My only complaint is that the base falls off rather easily, but otherwise this is better than some expensive torches I've used.Update: The torch was great for about 6 months but now it leaks no longer works. The gas runs out pretty quick tooAugust 27, 2016 I found this to be suboptimal for sous vide. It takes a long long time to sear a decent sized steak. The gas runs out pretty quick too. Read the fine print: does NOT come with fuelJuly 5, 2016 Read the fine print: does NOT come with fuel. I must have overlooked that. Super annoying to have to go out and get fuel to use it for the first time. Works good but runs out fast!May 26, 2016 Fast accurate heating but does not refill correctly/easily(wastes half the butane refilling). Also it says it has 60min of burn time per refill but lasts a little more than half that. and eventually I will be comfortable with this torchMay 16, 2016 I just received this a week or so ago, so I don't yet have extensive use. However, I am not particularly fond of the method of lighting it...having to turn the butane on, prior to igniting. The torch I have been using is a bit simpler to use - click torch on, and pull the trigger. I do acknowledge that this may be a case of what I am used to vs. something new/different, and eventually I will be comfortable with this torch. WE'll see. | The button is a little hard to click in for ...February 7, 2016 The button is a little hard to click in for someone with small hands. We haven't figured out how to get the sugar right -we burn some but some doesn't carmelize. I wish there was a temperature or low med high setting. So it could very well be user error, but neither my friends nor I could get it to evenly work. |

| It's a decent torch for the money. But 2 ...August 14, 2016 It's a decent torch for the money. But 2 days past the deadline to return it, it started to leak butane out the filling port. Hard to twll if fullAugust 13, 2016 Didn't like. Goes out real fast. Mayb I wasn't filling it enough but you can't tell. If uou leave it on the gas jus leaks out too. Jus no way to tell if it's full. Large Culinary Butane TorchAugust 4, 2016 This torch only worked about 5 times then would not light again. I bought 3 so I am hoping the others will work better. BEWARE: LEAKSApril 20, 2016 It's a good torch, but the one I received leaks butane all of the time. I've tried tightening the valve on the bottom, but it still leaks. Doesn't hold a tank for more than 3 hours. Difficult to keep litJanuary 25, 2016 I purchased this torch to burn the cream on some hot chocolate cupcakes I was making, the torch would not fill properly and once the torch was full, it would not stay lit. I tried multiple times. Just to make sure it was not operator error I had my husband try, he was also unsuccessful. No longer worksNovember 10, 2015 Initially, the torch would burn out quickly so I would have to refill the butane frequently in order to sustain any power. Now, the igniter doesn't work at all. I'm bummed! I was really excited for this product because it received such great reviews. I would contact the seller directly but I do not have any contact information. | Two StarsAugust 22, 2015 I did't like it. A lot of plastic. |

| stopped working within - please contact meMarch 4, 2017 Hello. I'm having an issue regarding the torch I bought from you guys. For some reason it doesn't fill past the 1/4 mark. I have tried many different ways and techniques but nothing seems to work. Is there something we can do about this?Thank you Don't waste your time or money on this dud!!!!!!!!!!February 16, 2017 Wish I could give it no stars, after the first full use of fuel I refilled it using recommended fuel and it failed to light. The only way this torch will now light is if I hold a flame near the torch!!!!Don't waste your time or money on this dud!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY!!August 11, 2016 I bought this torch and put a whole can of butane into it and it did not work so I am assuming that all of it just leaked out of the torch. I only bought it because the page says that there is a warranty but I searched everywhere to get in contact with the manufacturer but they are nowhere to be found. Don't waste your money!!!! Didn't work.July 14, 2016 Didn't work at all. I filled it up with butane and did everything possible but nothing worked. I wasted my money on it. I was so excited to use it. Does not workApril 11, 2016 The canister fills with butane, but no flame--a product defect. And now it's filled with butane so can't ship it anywhere to get fixed. Would recommend buying a different blowtorch. It lit good for the first few times then the igniter would ...April 6, 2016 Came packed well. Filled it with butane. It lit good for the first few times then the igniter would no longer work. Still works if you light it with a lighter. | Very DissappointedMay 15, 2016 I received this kitchen torch for Christmas. For a multitude of reasons I did not get around to using it until this week. (May 13th) It does not work and I cannot contact the manufacturer for complaints. The ignitor button does not work at all. I can put a flame in front of the torch and get it to light. But as soon as I release the ignitor button, it goes out. The continuous flame lock lever does not work either. Where can I return this junk to get one that actually works???? One StarApril 29, 2016 VERY STUPID expected all mare out of this productNovember 9, 2015 Not sturdy. Not user friendly at all. One StarJuly 3, 2015 Cheap made China quality! Not working |
