i have one of those torches i got from a creme brulee set

but it doesnt work

it says im supposed to fill it up with gas or whatever.

where the hell do i get gas from?

and how do i use it?

[sweetswithcindy]

These tiny torches usually use butane gas. You can find cans of butane at any hardware store. Its usually like 2-3 bucks a can. There should be a little hole at the bottom of your torch were you can fill it up with gas. hope that helps!

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I've seen from the supermarkets there is a brand "Light and creamy, ready to whip topping", can I use that instead? Sorry for the hassle. Thanks

[sweetswithcindy]

Its no hassle, however I am assuming you are not from the US...I am not sure if that brand is the same as heavy whipping cream. Look at the ingredient info label, and look for the butterfat %, if its between 35-40, then there should be no problem. I am going to do some research and let you know if I find anything =)

Cindy is very hot.

[gurdulu999]

what a mistake !! the creme brulée has to be very thin, no more than 2cm!! that one will be to thick and very nauseous.

PS : advice from a French, who knows what is a REAL crème brulée!

I WANT SOME.. I HAVE TO MAKE SOME

[chefgiovanni]

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.

adding an orange zest gives a little flavor thou!

[slippy4321]

use a hot spoon or your oven on grill if your torch doesnt work
