which brand of torch does everyone use? i will not be using one very often.,and sometimes quality doesn't mean expensive. to be honest i have never used one before. i want to make this valentine Day's cake with this wonderful frosting. also, i would use it for creme brulee. i hope this is not a repeat question. thank you all. lana

The cheapest plumber's torch that HOme Depot sells, which I think is Schnitzel' Bernzomatic. Should cost about $12.95.

Listen to the folks! The Bernzomatic from your local hardware store or Home Depot works just fine. I've had mine for at least 10 years and think I paid 4.95 for it then, plus about$3.00 for a can of gas. Now I think the gas is around $5. a can.

Whatever you do don't buy one

Whatever you do don't buy one of those small pointless devices called a chef's or cook's torch.


Age is unimportant unless you’re a cheese.
