Having read some of the reviews for other torches available on Amazon, I decided to go for this Oggi ensemble. As the other reviewer noted, the brulee cups are the flatter oval ones seen with the more expensive "Bonjour" product. However, I consider this a feature, not a bug. For those who love creme brulee, this is the more classic presentation, and a shallower custard with more surface area for glazing produces a superior dessert. The torch has held up fine for us, and seems quite similar to the more expensive versions, so I will have to give it a full 5 stars. Bon apetit!

i bought this just a while ago and love it, but one of the cups broke and another one had a crack in it, however they replaced it while it was stil under warrenty. The torch is easy to use, but not self-igniting.

Best Deals for Oggi 5 Piece Creme Brulee Set

In our continuing quest for the perfect kitchen and craft creme brulee tourch, we bought the Oggi "5 Piece Crème Brulee Tourch Set" at a local big box. This tourch is a little more powerful than some of the other standard crème brulee torches we own. We use these torches in our home for cooking and in our our small business where we teach crafts. Here are my observations:

Pros:

+ Self Ignition; does auto light, but see "Cons" below

+ Large Base; able to stand very stably on its own which is handy when locked on for hands free use

+ Comfortable Grip; the large body is perfectly sized for medium to larger hands

+ Large Flame; has a good range of flame sizes, but lowest is still fairly high in comparison to other torches

+ Good Looking; this does not look cheap, which is good if using it in front of guests or customers (like we do)

Cons:

No Fuel Window; not easy to tell how much fuel is in the torch

Uses a lot more fuel than most of our other torches, but that is the trade off for the larger flame

Not easy to figure out; the thumb safety needs to pressed down and left in place before pressing the ignition button and the flame adjustment is a ring on the nozzle

The dishes are nice but nothing special.

This tourch might be more than some people need, but it does work very well for our needs!

Recommended! We also like the very powerful BonJour Chef's Torch with Fuel Gauge, Brushed Aluminum

Honest reviews on Oggi 5 Piece Creme Brulee Set

I've use this torch for a long time, it gets the job done, but I reccomend to spend a couple extra $ to get a better torch.

1doesn't light anymore, so I need a lighter to start it.

2 leaks. so I have to fill it up a little each time I want to use it.

3 top of it fell apart, and most of it is falling apart..

4 the plastic melted..

but it is after many years of using it, it was good for the first year.. so it will get the job done.. but just a hassel. It still works which is why I still use it. But if I could go back, I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and get a better one..
