Q: What is the maximum temperature of my Culinary Torch?
A: The maximum temperature is 1300°C/2370°F.
Q: Why is there an unpleasant propane taste in my torched food?
A: Check that you have properly adjusted the torch before aiming it at the food. A
correctly adjusted torch should have a blue ame that is short, roars, and hisses.
A ame that has yellow on its tip is a reducing ame which means that there are
non-combusted hydrocarbons from the torch’s fuel that will end up in the food
being torched—and hence the gas-like taste.
