Torch with a gas can included

Butane torches ship empty for safe transport, so you need a can to use one. These bundles include both:

Cheapest way into a flame at all: a burner nozzle that screws straight onto a can from ₹389 — no separate torch body needed. The 4-can nozzle pack (₹762) costs less than four cans on their own, so the nozzle comes free.

Which torch is right for you?

Need real heat for food and outdoor tasks at the lowest price? The Brass Blow Torch (₹219) is the cheapest solid-metal option, with an adjustable jet up to ~1,300–1,430°C and enough range for light soldering.

Mostly culinary — crème brûlée, searing, caramelising — and a household with children? The Handheld Butane Torch (₹238) adds a physical safety lock and a better grip.

Just lighting the stove, candles and diyas? You don't need a torch at all — the Arc BBQ Lighter (₹189) is flameless, windproof and USB rechargeable.

Guides & How-Tos

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a culinary torch used for?

A culinary or kitchen torch caramelises the sugar crust on crème brûlée, browns meringue, sears meat and paneer, chars peppers and baingan for bharta, and heats the coal for dhungar smoking. It does these jobs without taking a burner out of service mid-cooking.

What is a butane torch gun and how is it different from a blow torch?

They are the same tool — "torch gun" or "flame gun" simply describes the pistol-style body with a trigger. ZORACook's Handheld Butane Torch has that trigger-grip shape; the Brass Blow Torch uses a valve instead of a trigger.

Do ZORACook torches run on LPG?

No. ZORACook torches are butane torches and are refilled from a standard cassette-type butane can. They do not connect to an LPG cylinder or a domestic gas line.

Are these torches suitable for industrial or heavy plumbing work?

No. These are light-duty torches for kitchen, BBQ and small repair jobs — fine for 15 mm copper joints and small soldering. For larger pipe or continuous professional work, a propane or MAPP torch is the right tool.

Is a butane torch lighter safe to use at home?

Yes, when used correctly. Use in a well-ventilated area, point the flame away from people and flammable materials, and keep away from children. The Handheld Butane Torch has a built-in safety lock; the Brass Blow Torch uses an adjustable valve.

What is the difference between a butane torch and an arc lighter?

A butane torch produces a real, high-temperature adjustable flame (up to ~1,300°C) for cooking and heat work. An arc lighter uses a USB-rechargeable plasma arc — flameless and windproof, best for lighting gas stoves, candles and diyas. No butane needed.

Is the burner nozzle cheaper than buying a torch?

Yes for occasional use. A nozzle plus one can starts at ₹389, and the 4-can nozzle pack at ₹762 costs less than four cans bought separately, so the nozzle is free. A nozzle screws onto the valve of an upright can and gives you a bare flame — there is no trigger, no safety lock and no adjustable grip, so a torch body is still the better choice for regular kitchen work.

How do you refill a butane torch lighter?

Let the torch cool, purge the fill valve, then hold both torch and can upside down and press for 5–10 seconds. Wait 2 minutes before lighting. Always refill away from flames in a ventilated space. Full steps: butane gas refill guide.

How long does butane gas last in a torch?

A single 225g ZORACook butane can (₹199) refills a torch several times — months of normal kitchen use, because a torch burns in short bursts rather than continuously.
