One of the oldest methods of cooking available to us today is the stovetop cooking torch. For many, this is the only way to achieve that perfect steak or pan fried steak, and for others, the solution is simply to use the oven. There are differences between cooking with a stovetop flame and an oven flame and one difference that is rather important is that with a stovetop flame, there is no element of cooking out the elements of the fire like smoke and fire, and also the heat from the flame tends to dissipate, meaning the food is not subjected to undercooked or overcooked products. This makes it much safer than cooking on an oven because you don’t have the same problem.
The question that many people ask is, how exactly do you cook with a cooking torch? It’s simple, really: all you need is a hot flame, a stick, and food. Whether you want to cook fish, bagels, steak, hamburgers, ribs, French fries, steaks, or anything else, you can cook with a cooking torch.
Cooking with a cooking torch is easy, but there are several things that you will want to keep in mind when you start to feel the heat on your hands. First, make sure that you have the correct fuel (it’s generally oil) and that you have a safe place to stand while you light the flame. Second, always hold the flame at a distance, about arm’s length, as well as away from you. Third, don’t stand directly in front of the flame, as it’s also not a good idea to get any direct eye contact. You can also try holding the flame in your hand rather than your nose, and then try to breathe through your mouth rather than your nostrils. Overall, it’s pretty safe to assume that you can safely cook with a cooking torch provided that you follow the instructions that come with it, and always keep the flame away from your face.
