Did you know that your torch lighter can be used to crisp meat? It is unfortunate that so many people leave that lighter in a kitchen drawer simply because they have no idea all the ways it could be used in cooking.

Here are the answers to your questions about how to crisp meat with a torch lighter. This will help you get started using the tool in new and innovative ways in your cooking.

To start with, make sure you use the right meats. Not all meats are conducive to crisping. However, the ones that you can use would include chicken and turkey if the skin is still on it. In addition, steaks and fish can enjoy the touch of the butane lighter as well. After you have chosen the right meats, the next thing you will need to consider is to make sure that you cook the meat thoroughly in advance. Using the butane lighter will not cook the meat. It will only crisp it.

To actually crisp the meats, you only need to remember one rule. Do not overdo it. If you actually burn the meat, you will scorch it and you will ruin the taste of it. This means, you need to keep the torch on medium and allow the flame to just barely touch the meat. If you are crisping chicken or turkey, then you will want to pass the torch over the whole skin of it. If you are blackening steak or fish, then focus on the edges of it and not the whole surface.

In order to make sure you crisp the meat correctly, you will need to make sure you cook the meat thoroughly in advance. Then, you will need to never allow the lighter to stay still. Instead, keep the flame moving and keep it an even distance away from the meat. You should see the meat brown slightly. This is how you will know that the meat is crisped correctly.

You can find many uses for that butane kitchen lighter that you may not have even realized. Of course, it works well on desserts. However, it can also work quite well when creating a crisp skin or blackened edge on the meats that you serve. This will make the meat even more flavorful, juicy and enjoyable to anyone who enjoys it with their meal.
