How do I broil the top of Creme Brulee?

Yes, browning the tops of creme brulee, one can use the propane or butane torch which is handy for some but the normal oven can do it just fine. When you want to brown the tops of any food the broiler (fire inside the oven, located on top) can be used instead of the torch if you don't have one. Just take care and always check because the sugar can burn easily, just keep it a golden color not very dark (it might have a burnt taste).

The source below has a recipe which I think is simple. Enjoy. gourmetfood.about.com/od/dessertrecipes/....

To do it properly they make kitchen/creme brulee torches to carmelize the sugar. Do this right before serving as if you let it sit the sugar gets soft.

I know you asked this quite some time ago but in case you are still wondering about the torch method of making the crust/topping, this video shows it being done.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
