Crème Brule Recipe : How to Torch Creme Brulee Topping

[YeEr0sKiNg]

you cannot glaze a brulee for shit my friend

[richterscale09]

hahaha... 

[richterscale09]

amateur.... the top is not even completely caramelized

[DessertsNowdotcom]

This recipe tastes great, but i can't ever get the broiling right. I now use a flambe kit from dessertsnowdotcom & it comes out perfect every time. No torching & great aromas

Anyone notice the stove at the beginning of the video, look at the manual set analog clock and timer on that thing, I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. When you set the timer and it goes off, the whole house can hear it and it wakes the dead, it goes BBBBRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Also, I'm wary of ppl that use black curtains instead of a door to divide the kitchen from other rooms... lol I guess that's the pantry.

its not called a kitchen torch when your looking for one if you want a good one that will last more than one week go to your kitchen or cooking store and look for a BUTANE TORCH

[brainwashedpotato]

why cant u guys ever make a video with all the parts???

I use vanilla all the time, for pastry cream, custards, cake fillings and ice cream sundaes! You can get the torch and ramekins and vanilla beans at : Chef Depot .com there is a free recipe to make your own Vanilla Extract.

@chefgiovanni Im sorry, but the prices on that website are absurd... especially for Vanilla beans. There are better sources...

[chefgiovanni]

@richterscale09 Ever seen the dried out tiny beans most people use? You are not the smartest cookie in the jar. 

[richterscale09]

@chefgiovanni ah.. i see you are doing some marketing for that website. well... the fact is that not everyone wants to spend $7.75 for two vanilla beans when you can get 5 for $7.25 from other websites like amadeusvanillabeans. I may not be the smartest cookie, but I know how to save money.

[chefgiovanni]

@richterscale09 Well I do believe you can cook and save money. I ordered beans from them and they were like bamboo skewers, dried and hard. Chef Depot.c o m vanilla beans are like licorice sticks, soft and juicy, sticky as honey inside. CHEF G.

I've bee a cook for about 5 years now(red seal certified) and i find that those micro culinary torches are absolutly usless. when your doing a banquet of 500 or even a family dinner for 10, it just takes way to long. Im not saying to go all out with an oxy-acetylene torch but a 3000 BTU bernzomatic works wonders and costs less.

[039950040]

Also, if your using brown sugar like he is here, it's important to sift it first so that it caramelizes easily. If you hve lumps, the more elevated sugar is just going to burn and your left with just raw sugar underneath.

[gman2000]

True, I was watching the vid with the chef from the French Culinary Institute and he shook off the excess, makes sense, unless you just like alot of sugar and leave it there on purpose. As for the torch, if your really in a pinch, a can of hair spray and a lighter works wonders too! (just kidding)

@gman2000

I just got done watching the video with the actual chef myself. Apparently you can't really compare expertvillage instructions to those of a real... wait for it... Expert. I give them effort for trying though.

[gman2000]

@tokinblckgie I forgot I commented on this vid... looks like 10 months ago. Funny thing, I just popped 4 flans in the oven, they should take about 1.5 to 2 hours, sort of like a creme brulee, but thanksgivings is on Thursday so I have to make it at least 1 day ahead to let the mixture "custardize" and set in the fridge, otherwise if its too soon, when you flip it, it deforms and its embarrassing to serve, but my flan puts all others to shame, at least here in Jersey.

[PHANTOM1OF1OPERA]

where would you get a 3000 BTU bernzomatic from? Canadian tire? like walmart ?

[bestSVMS]

if you have alot go get a weedburner:)

you could probably do 3 together at 2seconds. And those kitchen, ive seen them for $20-30 and seem like toys

[mummysez1mspecial]

@039950040 Ha u think uses a torch sux, try using matches and a cigerette lighter, really

[malkien12]

i have one of those torches that i got from a creme brulee set and it doesnt work....can u do a video on how to fill it up with gas? where can i get gas from?

[03veritas]

@ malkien12 To refill the torch: Most torches like the one I have uses Butane gas. I refilled it from a little butane gas canister I bought at Home Depot. There is a nozzle in the canister that goes on a little gold hole at the bottom of the torch, from there just fill it up.

[maritzayanet]

how do you charge the torch that you have?

[JUSTBOLTONS]

what sugar did you use? natural? brown?

[bannedspencer]

Burning up the body pieces that you didn't want to eat, after killing the homeless guy

[Magrakamajiora]

Just curious, what else would a kitchen torch be used for?

[brandonbot90]

defense lol

[groberts0429]

Browning the tops of casseroles, lemon meringue pies, baked Alaska and anything else you want to brown.

[bestSVMS]

liting fireworks, pyro stuff, grills
