@mcc @ImpudentStrumpet Reminds me of the stove skink: https://twitter.com/fiddleafox/status/1341202169287077889

@mcc @ImpudentStrumpet my grandma had an metal disk at the end of a stick+handle. She would put it on the stove flame until it's hot then drop it on a creme with sugar to turn it into a creme brulé. The result was much better than using a flamethrower from memory. Also, you need to put the sugar as late as possible else it will soak up the creme humidity and it wont caramelize. When working at a restaurant, I had a colleague put sugar well in advance then spend minutes warming wet sugar
