Dean Jacob's Crème Brûlée Set with Torch — 4.5 oz boxed kit with 4 ramekins, adjustable antiflare torch

Dean Jacob's Crème Brûlée Set with Torch is a complete home kit that includes a culinary torch, four porcelain ramekins, crème brûlée mix and caramelizing sugar to make four half-cup servings.

This compact 4.5‑ounce boxed set brings restaurant-style crème brûlée into your kitchen with tools and ingredients designed for convenience. The torch is fully adjustable with an antiflare tip and reaches high temperatures for fast caramelization; butane fuel is sold separately for safe shipping. The included mix and sugar let you prepare custard up to a day ahead and finish with a crisp, glossy sugar crust in minutes.

How easy is it to make crème brûlée with this kit?

Very straightforward — the mix reduces prep time and the torch does the finishing work. Follow the included directions: combine the mix with cream and milk, simmer briefly, chill the custards, then caramelize the sugar topping with the torch.

• Makes four half‑cup servings; ideal for small gatherings.
• Mix prepares ahead; chilling time gives flexibility for dinner timing.
• Torch delivers quick, even caramelization without a broiler.

Is the torch simple and safe to operate?

The torch is designed for home cooks: it offers a fully adjustable flame and an antiflare feature for stable operation. For safety during transit, butane fuel is not included, so users add fuel themselves following the torch instructions and local fuel safety guidance.

• Adjustable flame intensity for delicate or deep caramelizing.
• Antiflare design reduces backflash for safer use.
• Uses common butane fuel — easy to refill from retail sources.

What comes in the box and what do I need to add?

The box contains the torch, four porcelain ramekins, the crème brûlée mix and caramelizing sugar, plus complete instructions. You’ll only need to supply cream and milk to prepare the custard and purchase butane fuel for the torch.

• Included: torch, 4 porcelain ramekins, mix, and caramelizing sugar.
• Not included: butane fuel — purchased separately for safety in shipping.
• Pantry items needed: heavy cream and milk, as directed on the recipe.

How long does the whole process take from start to finish?

Active preparation is minimal — the mix cooks in about 10 minutes, then requires chilling. Plan ahead: after cooking, chill the custards until firm (several hours or overnight) and finish with the torch in just a few minutes when ready to serve.

• Active cook time: roughly 10 minutes to prepare and simmer the mix.
• Chill time: several hours or up to a day for best texture.
• Caramelizing: less than 5 minutes per batch using the torch.

Who this is for: home bakers and entertaining hosts who want indulgent, restaurant-style desserts without specialized training. The set suits gift-givers searching for a culinary present, couples preparing a special meal, or anyone who enjoys hands-on finishing touches. It’s especially useful for cooks who prefer prepping desserts ahead of time and adding a dramatic, crisp sugar crust just before serving.
