Some people suggest extra effort to accommodate for not having the right heat source: https://www.seriouseats.com/2020/02/hei-now-youre-a-wok-star-a-fiery-hack-for-stir-frying-at-home.html https://www.seriouseats.com/2020/02/hei-now-youre-a-wok-star...
- bobthepanda 7y agoThis seems dangerous. Growing up as an Asian American, my family's gas stove definitely wasn't hot enough, but we also had a separate butane burner that was rated for indoor use. (You could also use it for things like hot pot, so it's not like it was the only thing we used it for.) So long as you have a well ventilated area not very close to a smoke alarm you should be good.
- ska 7y agoI suspect the separate burner is a better approach. People use such torches for other things though (e.g. sous vide, but usually with a deflector); I don't know if it's really a risk. I haven't tried it just happened to see the article a few days ago and remembered.
- ceejayoz 7y agoThere's nothing particularly dangerous about a blowtorch in the kitchen. They're common for things like creme brulee.
