After watching this I used a blowtorch to roast pinenuts. It worked so much better using the oven burner. Thanks!

Very Cool..I mean hot. The blowtorch will be perfect for camping and corn. I also was worried in the past about propane chemicals and cooking so thanks for the clarification.

I love your show it has the 3 things in life I like the most:food, science and a hot nerdy woman. Hope to see more episodes soon.

lol agreed!!!

I have to admit that during filming I got a little carried away with the torch. You can adjust it to a smaller flame, or even hold it further away from the brulee. These kinds of bigger torches are primarily used in restaurant kitchens to deal with the large number of orders that come in all at once.

It still tasted good even though it was a little burned. :)

I like the graphics, but it was a bit weird seeing the molecules fly out of her face. The propane torch definitely is overkill for the creme brulée. I personally like the smaller torch for caramelizing sugar.

It looks like you burnt the brulee's shell with the hardware blow torch co i think you should use it small on for a more percise and controled flame.
