I’m finding myself in a puzzle I didn’t expect.
I bought my sous vide (cooker?) to prepare things for the smoker. I did a steak on Saturday and pork chops on Sunday and we both loved both meals. No smoker involved.
I kinda don’t like the idea of piling up charcoal in a grill, get the coals to the optimum color and all that just to sear for a minute or two. Aside from being between grills right now, it seems like a lot of hassle and clean up. I used the cast iron frying pan for the steak and another pan for the pork chops and that worked fine, although a bit messy indoors.
Is anybody using one of the searing torches? I read mixed reviews about aftertaste from the torches, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t happen with a propane grill.
Any input or advice on the searing tools?
