I don't think that comparing the Bernzomatic to the rest is really an apples to apples comparison. The Bernzomatic easily blows them all away because of its sheer power. For home users, the Bernzomatic is basically an industrial tool. I keep one for kitchen use and another for plumbing. Some people just won't like having such a large industrial propane tool in their kitchen (others like me think it's awesome. For those people, the butane ones are probably the better fit.

I have a Bernzomatic as a hand torch in my shop, which is what they were originally designed for. So when I was looking for a kitchen torch I was kinda upset at how much money they wanted for dinky little hand torches. Said screw it and bought a new Bernzomatic for the kitchen. Important point: MAP fuel (the yellow bottles) is toxic, so please don't use it for cooking. Also just buy a second torch instead of using the one from your shop.

I noticed on the documentation for the bernzomatic that some of the brass fittings contain lead. Do you folks know if that's a concern when used on food? Obviously if I took a steak and rubbed it on the brass areas that would probably be bad but that would also be silly. I'm wondering if there is any concern of lead being transferred to the food (ie. lead fumes transferred to the food over the flame) if used properly as demonstrated.

What about taste? doesn't these put a gas taste on the food? Tried it once on cane-sugar topping here in Denmark, but the butane or propane-taste was literally killing the food. but meh' perhaps some dig that taste, but it would have been nice to also handle that aspect of contaminating the foodtaste with certain gas-approaches.

I have the bernzomatic and the searzall. Mainly used for sous-Vide searing. The benz will continue cooking from extreme heat it gives off. The searzall disperses heat quickly over a larger area. Also setup of the searzall is critical. ie: 1/8th inch gap from end of torch and the beginning of searzall head. As per instruction.

The producers need to read the endless slew of comments on every single video about reading the instructions for products. It's embarrassing how every time this show goes up, the comments are littered with This is how you're supposed to use it, like the manual says. Are you not professionals? Have you no pride in your craft?

And to Esther: I love you, but if you keep doing this, youll come off like a well-spoken airhead. Read the instructions

I have a iwatani and the strength of the torch can be adjusted. It comes with one for adjusting the volume of the gas and another knob that tune how disperse or fine you want the torch to be. This seems like it was really pushing burnsomatic over iwatani which probably cost mush less and work as good or better.

learn how to use the Iwatani properly first - THEN do the test. With the air inlet open you get a waaaayy more intense flame - like how a Bunsen burner works. It would almost be on a par with the Bernzomatic but a lot cheaper and less bulky. Or she's just a Bernzomatic shill and sabotaged the whole test.

Got to do some Research about Blow Torches. There is a Flame Thrower that is attached to a 20lb propane thank, it has a trigger to really Get some High BTU. At Amazon and hardware stores. Also there is Bernzomatic TS8000KC Max Heat MAP Gas, adjustable flame and use for Sous Vide preparation.
