Melon Brulee

  Re: (...)
I sure wish more of you were retired so you could play with me during the day!! Anyway, I think it was Daphne who posted about an Iron Chef episode that was about melons and one item in each course had to be frozen. We watched that show last night and Roy put my torch out on the island so I could play with this one this a.m. It's really good!!

Now, I'm off to play with caramel sauce with brandy...

This is gorgeous! Is it merely carmelized melon? Are the little cubes frozen?

just 'bruleed' melon squares - some other part of the dish was the frozen part. It was sure tasty.

That looks soooo good Jean! I still haven't gotten a torch. It's on my Christmas list again this year...LOL! I think it got overlooked for two years in a row, because William didn't understand why I would want a torch from the hardware store...LOL!

my husband tried to get me to use his but I insisted on having one of those cute little ones from a kitchen store. Was that a mistake? I have yet to use it.

I hope Jean chimes in to answer your question Theresa, but the reason I'm planning on getting one from the hardware store is the advice I got from some other chefs on another site.

Here's what one had to say about torches:

Bear: "Just your reg'lar common or garden blowtorch, from your hardware shop gas not the old parafin type, they now come with instant ignition, saves looking for a light!, you can get different gas mixtures some burn hotter than others but you dont need a massive flame for most things, you do get a nice wide flame with a regular torch whereas the little "cheffy" torches are little better than windproof lighters that burn too intensely."

Theresa, take it back if you can. Not only are the torches themselves expensive, but so are the refills. Home Depot, Lowes, Handyman, whatever have small bottles of gas with the burner on them for less than half that cost, plus the gas bottles are bigger....same gas too!
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

I tried one of the little kitchen ones and they aren't worth spit. Hold out for a good one from the hardware store.
