erichung1218Great question. Yes, this torch is a handy tool around the yard or kitchen.

erichung1218@erichung1218 It looks like a copy of https://www.amazon.com/Iwatani-CB-TC-PRO2-Professional-electric-Stabilizing/dp/B00BBJC1CY?th=1 It's okay for searing, but it definitely isn't for cooking. Even for searing, it doesn't produce enough heat quickly or cheaply enough for more than a two or three steaks at a time. It uses 8oz butane cartridges typically found in asian grocery stores (which is probably where it'll be cheapest, maybe $1.50 each)

iaredavidI think the OP means as a replacement for his/her butane torch for creme burlee and such.

Jun from Junskitchen uses one @5:40 in the following video. So It would be fine. https://youtu.be/9WXIrnWsaCo

erichung1218By saying your "cooking" you mean "searing" right? Searing/caramelizing are a quick process with high heat to just brown something. Like @iaredavid said It's not for cooking. Searing, caramelizing yes but not "cooking" a steak through.

NTTDhow pedantic. 'cooking' is the overarching term, searing is one of the means with which one cooks.

pucklermuskauYou know what I meant. I was answering the question of @erichung1218.Who asked if he could get a steak done properly with the torch. The answer is no, you could burn the outside of the steak to charcoal with a torch and the inside would still be cold and raw, you call that cooked? Searing is a step done usually before cooking. So yes, while strictly speaking searing is "cooking" one is not going to use this torch to get a steak done properly.

NTTDyeah, if someone had ordered it blue, then yes, it would be 'cooked'. youre not only being pedantic, but youre misusing the word. the term you're after is 'done', not 'cooked'.
