[Sca-cooks] RE Blow Torch

[Christina Nevin]

	My best memory of it is when my manager walked into the kitchen and
asked
	me: "How long would it take to prepare meringue?".  For some odd
reason, I
	<snip loads>That is the moment the groom picked to poke
	his head in the kitchen, with bits and parts of meringue that flew
all over
	the place from whisking the thing.  I had meringue all over my face,
hair,
	uniform (which had suffered a fairly busy night on the line).  I had
the
	torch in my hand, lit, and I suspect I had this manic smile and wild
look
	in my eyes, running on pure adrenaline.  Groom came in, saw my face,
said a
	few *quick* thanks and disappeared back out...  Baked Alaska for 75,
in
	under 20 minutes...

ROFLMAO!

I use my soldering blowtorch in the kitchen - one of those mini-guns that
uses a cigarette lighter refill. You can get them in your local Tools Depot
(I think that was the name of the place) in the US of A (which is where I
got mine) for about $12, do they're MUCH cheaper than the ridiculously
overpriced culinary blowtorches. Cheapest I've seen in the UK was UKP 28.00.
For something I use once every 6 months?!? Outrageous!
