<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nTorching meringue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Meringue needs to be a little brown and caramelised, and a kitchen torch always gives the perfect finish. When spreading or piping a dessert with the meringue it is important to use a weaker flame further away from the meringue while moving it back and forth to evenly brown the entire surface. Allow to cool slightly before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flamb\u00e9e a dish<\/h4>\n\n\n\n A kitchen torch is not typically used to flamb\u00e9e, but it is surely the best tool if you are not cooking on an open flame where tilting the pan is enough to create a dramatic burst of flames. Always make sure to use a suitable dish that is heat resistant and be very careful to keep a safe distance when pouring the alcohol. Turn off the kitchen torch immediately once the ingredients are flamb\u00e9ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Br\u00fbl\u00e9e citrus fruit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n We often use citrus fruit in dishes and love the look of br\u00fbll\u00e9ed lemons or oranges. Besides the visual effect it also elevates the flavours in an elegant way whether it is just a slice or half a fruit. For savoury dishes it is just enough to shortly \u2018burn\u2019 the fruit, and if you would like it caramelised for a dessert you will need to add some sugar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gratin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Although we would rather gratin a dish in the oven, it might need a little extra crisp. A kitchen torch is not the best tool to fully gratin a dish but it can add a necessary final touch just before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grilling or camping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n During the outdoor season we often grill and camp. Although it is not really recommended and kitchen torches are primarily designed to use for culinary purposes, we find it easy to carry one because it is lightweight, and very handy when having to light a fire in case you can\u2019t get hold of appropriate fire starters. Always exercise caution when starting fires and ensure that you and the environment are safe before, during and after the outdoor event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
We just love to use a kitchen torch and do it frequently just as other passionate and accomplished cooks. With a kitchen or culinary torch at hand it is possible to bring extra flavour to a dish and lift culinary creations to another level of sophistication.
