My old (very old) Bernz-O-Matic died, and my wife (brulee lover that she is) decided we needed to replace it immediately -- while we were in Action Supply looking for some pho bowls.
I thought it would be better to hold off and get a new Bernz from a plumbing supply or off the web, but as I said she was in a hurry. So, we compromised and bought an Iwatani then and there.
Wow. Great. Didn't know what I was missing. So much better than the mini-torches I've seen at other restaurant supplies and gourmet stores. "7 Hour" cartridges cost $1 apiece. Even if they don't actually lost 7 hours, they're more than big enough for anyone making fewer than 50 bruless a day. Self igniting, adjustable flame, right tip, seems to be well made, under $30.
A lot lighter than the Bernz, more streamlined, too. Comes with the right tip (as already mentioned), no decision needed. Bernz with all the features (t-3000) would cost more for the head and a lot more for the tank.
So, baby my heart's on fire.
Anybody find anything better? Or alla time same same for you too?
