How to choose a culinary torch
Short answer. Check five things: tank size for how long you cook, a stable base, a safety lock, an adjustable flame and a refill valve that fits local butane canisters.
Checklist
- Tank: 6.5 g to 25 g in our range.
- Base: wide enough to stand while hot.
- Lock: holds the flame on and prevents accidental lighting.
- Flame control: from a fine point to a wide flame.
- Certificate: for the EU, a model listed on an EN 521 certificate.
