Cuisinart CTG-00-CTOR Cooking Torch: How to Fill and Light
To fill your Cuisinart cooking torch, make sure the flame is completely off and the torch is cool. Turn the torch upside down and press a can of high-quality butane firmly into the fill valve at the bottom for 3–5 seconds. Let the torch sit for a minute so the gas can stabilize. To light, slide the safety lock to the open position, push the ignition trigger and slowly increase the gas flow until you reach the flame size you want.
If Your Cuisinart Cooking Torch Won’t Light
Most lighting issues come from air in the fuel line. Purge the torch by pressing the fill valve while the torch is upside down until no gas escapes, then refill slowly. Use pure, refined butane rather than a low-quality mix, and always wait a minute after refilling before lighting. If the flame sputters, reduce the gas flow and check that the nozzle is seated correctly.
With a stainless steel body and compact size, the Cuisinart CTG-00-CTOR stores easily in a drawer and is always ready for last-minute desserts and savory finishes.

Product Details
Beyond Crème Brûlée
This torch is not just for dessert. Use it to melt cheese over French onion soup, blister peppers, brown meringue on pies, or give roasted tomatoes a caramelized finish. The narrow flame gives you precision that a broiler can’t match.
Getting a Steady Flame
After filling, let the torch sit for a minute and then light with the gas control at a low setting. Increase the flame gradually. If the flame flickers, the tank may be overfilled or the butane quality may be low. A steady, clean blue flame gives you the most control.
Compact Storage, Ready When You Are
The slim stainless steel body tucks into a utensil drawer or tool caddy easily. Keep it near your dessert station so it’s within reach when a recipe calls for a professional finish.

Good torch
The flame is steady and the build feels solid. It browns sugar evenly but the safety lock is a bit stiff.

A reliable little torch
I purchased this to replace an old torch that had finally given up. It lit on the first try and the adjustable flame gave me precise control. I've used it for crème brûlée, meringues, and even melting cheese on soup. The stainless steel body is sturdy and easy to clean. My only tiny complaint is that it drinks butane fairly quickly, but that's expected for the power. All in all, a fine tool for any home cook.
