I just bought the Creme Brulet Kit that I mentioned which comes with 4 little ramekins. And 2 4.0-fl. oz cans of Zippo butane fuel for $5.00 each.

Comes to about $30.00.

You got ripped off IMO, but as long as you are happy with your purchase then that is all that matters.

[Corey123]

Yes, I DID want it and the butane fuel.

I wanted better control over using one one those hardware toches.

I just bought one for a few bucks. Bought it in a Belgian store, so I guess I'm not of much use! Wonder if it's going to work...

[Corey123]

It should. Just follow the instructions carfull and you'll be alright.

Let me know how this works. I bought the same thing at BBB for a birthday gift for a friend. My girlfriend made the creme brulee (which was fabulous) but the torch didn't work. I'm anxious to see if yours does.

[Corey123]

What caused the torch not to work? Did she fuel it with butgane first?

I'll try mine right now.

Corey, I don't know why it didn't work - she was assuming it would work and was ready to use it and *nothing* - in a pinch, she used the flame and aim lighter - it took a very long time but we got the idea. She said she was gonna investigate it more later. Creme brulee was good though!

Mine works!!

I just followed the instructions on how to charge it, charged it with butane, waited five minutes and then I ignited it! And it works now!

Bring on the Creme Brulet!!!

ANDYM has the right idea. I bought a cute little creme brulee torch from Sur La Table. It took me 40 minutes to carmelize the sugar on 8 ramikins of creme brulee. Took it back and bought one from the hardware store. In 6 minutes all eight were beautifully browned. Forget "cute" go with what works.
