SEARTEQ | Searing Torch Attachment for Sous Vide, Slow Cooker, Instant Pot and Culinary Treats - Perfectly Sear Everything - Use with TS8000 or TS4000 (Sold Separately) - 2.5x Performance

I am very pleased with the results this product produces. When used accordingly, it provides an excellent sear on food cooked sous vide. I'm using it with a TS8000 and propane, although though they recommend MAP-PRO gas which burns slightly hotter. It may seem pricy for what it is, but it is worth it, and does a better job than the competition--which is more expensive.I highly recommend this product for everyone that cooks sous vide.Here is my method for steaks:Immediately transfer the steak from the sous vide bath into one with ice water and cool for a couple minutes.Remove from vacuum/Ziploc bag and thoroughly pat dry. At this time, melt a small amount of butter.Once the surface of the strak is dry, start torching, using the tip of the flame (about 2-3 inches from the tip of the Searteq) torch the meat for 15-30 seconds, slowly moving the flame around the surface of the meat. Flip, pat dry, and repeat the torching process. Try to hit the sides as well on both flips.At this point, there should be a light sear starting to develop. Using a spoon, drizzle some of the melted butter over the meat and torch both sides for another 15-30 seconds each. This additional process really ups the flavor and crust with the maillard reaction.

Fits great with Berzonatics ts8000. It spreads the flame wide and with Map gas it does not lend any off flavor at all. Im very happy with the performance, simple uncomplicated design, quality stainless steel, but it is a a little pricy for what it is.

Feels overpriced with how simple of a device this is. Just a ring with a hole, a screw, and the cowbell piece. That said, it does it's job fairly well and takes 2-3 minutes each side. Quick, dirty, and convenient for when I don't want to start the weber or smoke up the house with my cast iron, although the results are not as good.

I got satisfying results on my sous vide steak... Just as I have without this. I feel the biggest downside is you end up holding this closer to the the meat and that's not ideal for "torch taste". I will say I did not experience "torch taste". This is essentially just a bent sheet metal to fan the flame.My 3 star rating is based off of the following cons.-The metal absorbs a lot of the heat so it takes longer to get a sear.-metal gets glowing hot which can be dangerous-basically just folded sheet metal

I rarely leave reviews but for this item I’m going to make the exception. I do a lot sous vide cooking so I’m always on the lookout for the latest gadget that will help with the culinary experience. The ease of use, how quickly it’s sears meat, and that it doesn’t leave any butane-gas-torch taste are definitely the parameters looked for in a searing mechanism. This item definitely covers the aforementioned without question. In comparison to the Searzall which is considerably more, this very simple add-on makes a world of difference when searing meat. There is good control, the flame projects well and were you point it, and most importantly to me, you taste the meat and not the gas used when searing. I would definitely recommend this item hands-down as you will not be disappointed.

Searing in a cast iron pan on the stove top makes a major mess. Decided to pursue an alternative to sear sous vide proteins and looked at a few options. Decided on this option based on the simple design, no screens to burn out. Installing in the new torch head was simple and took all of three minutes. Within a minute of using this device I was impressed, perfect sear on some really nice steaks. Next some pork chops and tuna fillets again perfect sear, minimum mess and amazing speed. Discoloring of the metal is to be expected since the hood becomes cherry red with prolonged use. Very happy with my decision to buy this device over the more complex and expensive alternative.

This attachment exceeded all my expectations. I used it with my TS8000, and it quickly produced an even sear with no burnt spots and no torch taste. Before I purchased, I read some of the reviews that complained about the price. Au contraire. This thing is worth every penny. HIGHLY recommended.

The attachment fit well on my TS8000 torch. It is made of heavy gauge stainless steel and appears to be of good quality, however, I feel the price point is a bit steep. The first time I used it I used MAPP gas to sear around 20 steaks which I had cooked using a sous vide setup. It takes a good amount of time to sear one steak, so doing all 20 took more gas than I anticipated. I appreciated the control of using a torch for searing steak, but honestly, I didn't find it very economical. So if you've only got a few items you'd like to sear, I'd say it's a good item to add to your arsenal, but if you're planning to use it for a dinner party (like I did) then I'd say you'd be better off using a cast iron pan on the stove.

Washer was wrong size and did not have and threading. Only 4 parts, so not sure how you get that wrong! Stores not open, so can't even go find the proper size....you had ONE job!

Excelente solución para sellar cortes. Muy tecomendable
