    The blow torch is my newest kitchen gadget. I actually bought it to use with the wok to try replicate Chinese restaurant dishes that are wokked at higher temperatures than domestic burners get.

    But useful for other stuff too.

    Not the greatest photo - but it was tasty!

    Roast lamb shoulder with rosemary & balsamic mint & blueberry compote. A side of broiled rutabega, parsnips and turnips w/ herbs and sea salt .. or as I call them - potato pretenders 🤓

    Have a look at those "wok hei" articles in NYT and Serious Eats. The blow torch is a good way to approximate those smokey wok dishes you get in restaurants but can't replicate at home because your domestic burner doesn't get hot enough to cause flare ups. The blow torch gives you a controlled way to get flare ups in your wok. Of the torched wokked vegetable dishes I've tried so far, sauteed mushrooms were the most amazing.

    I saw a cooking program where they dipped lacklustre fruit into sugar and blow torched to give a caramel coating. Need to try that on fruit that needs a lift.

    I don't know if you're talking to me--there are lots of excellent posters, but if it's me, I'll say thanks! I enjoy cooking and was at the beach for the summer. Mid September I'm always back.
