@Scott That is kind of what I was thinking, I was just worried that a regular propane torch might add a bad flavor to the meat since all of the “culinary” torches are butane. BTW, I finished building a sous vide machine using your design as a base. I really appreciate the effort you put into the blog and the recipes. Keep up the good work.

@LanceW I’d hightly recommend going to the hardware store and getting a propane torch – the kind plumbers use for welding pipe joints. Those mini creme brulee torches just don’t have enough power.

What a great idea! I’ve done comparison tastings of everything from salt, butter, peanut butter, canned tomatoes, bacon, etc., etc., but not beef. Soon to be remedied, thanks to you.

What you failed to mention was that this was the most original birthday party I’ve ever had. Thanks,Scott for doing this for me and continuing to prove that I didn’t make the wrong choice when I crossed VEGETARIAN off my bucket list of life.
Love,
Mom

I did this with Seattle Tall Poppy last year. I was horrible at figuring out what each beef tasted like.
