Butter has a very high amount of water in it, try something else?

I used grapeseed oil for my first time. I think the milk proteins may help with the browning, but I haven't used it enough to say that with any certainty.

So what is the advantage to using a Searzall over just using the same torch without the attachment? Is it mainly more even heat distribution over a wider area?

Yes, it's much more even and controllable. The other huge benefit is no torch taste -- or least I have not detected any. I didn't really use my torch much before, because I could always pick up a fuel and/or burnt taste.

I know this is from a few days ago, but are you using either propane or butane for your torch? I use mapp fuel, which came recommended by Sansaire's website, and it doesn't have any taste I can detect at all, but I can taste a bit of propane on anything that was cooked on a propane grill. The nice thing about mapp is that it burns super hot so you only need 10 seconds max to sear a steak or burger per side, so overcooking the inside of the meat you're searing is a non-issue. The downside is that it burns way too hot to use a searzall with.

I have the Iwatani and had been using it with butane.

Are there any good guides on how to properly sear using a blowtorch?

I used a ts8000 on a pork tenderloin last night and was a little too heavy handed with the torch.

You're halfway to searzall.

I sous vide and chill shrimp for shrimp cocktail. I find they don't shrink as much as other methods. I noticed they get a little mushy around where the heads are cut off. Kind of gross to think about, but I just run my finger over to remove.

I don't understand why you're not buying an Anova or Sansaire.

I like my Searzall if I'm eating alone, but I found it too slow for more than one piece of meat at a time. It's helpful when smoking-out your apartment with a pan isn't an option because it's below freezing outside.

Plastic wrap works for me. As a bonus, you get to tap off the condensation, because that's strangely satisfying.

The SousVide Supreme Demi is on sale at their website for $179 total with free shipping with coupon code DEMI179.

I wouldn't bother. Takes up too much room, doesn't circulate, and less capacity compared to the ANOVA/sansaire/etc.
