kitchen torch

A kitchen torch lets you caramelise, glaze and colour a preparation right on the plate: crème brûlée, meringue, icing or poultry skin. In our Kitchen torch section, you will find a tool suited to home cooking as well as plating finishes in professional kitchens.

Choosing the right kitchen torch

What is it used for?

A torch is made for hot finishes: setting the crust of a crème brûlée, browning a meringue, fixing an icing or searing meat. The adjustable flame lets you work a precise area without heating the whole plate, which is handy both at home and for quick plating during service.

Which brand and how to maintain it?

Our selection relies on Paderno, a reference for utensils aimed at professionals and demanding home cooks alike. Check the type of gas required and let the device cool down fully before storing it, out of reach of children.

Find the kitchen torch and other finishing tools in the Homemade section, within the Kitchenware range on AZ Boutique. To round out your equipment, see also Japanese cooking.
