I absolutely love this, a creme brulee branding iron that is heated in the fireplace of Savoy, where it's served. According to the owner: “It adds a nice ‘fireplace flavor’ to the dessert".

Hi, I'm Megan. I live in Seattle with Scott and post here about whatever I am up to at the moment. Right now I'm reporting on my trip to Paris, obsessed with shaped ice molds and thinking I should learn to make some corned beef. You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr and Ravelry. More about me and all this.

So dramatic! I love it! Incidentally, I also love the "housekeeping" -- very cute new look. Love the new typestyle.

Hi Sarah,
My name is Dallas, and this is my first time on your blog. I am so surprised I have not come across it until now. It's awesome! I will be a regular reader from now on :)

Wow, that's embarrassing. I typed Sarah when I meant to write to you, Megan. Sorry, my friend's name popped into my head while I was writing. I was thinking how much she would like your blog. Anyways, sorry about that!

!!! I was there a few months ago, and it /does/ taste amazing with that fireplace flavor.
I love Savoy. We go every time we're in New York, it's a tradition now.

I saw an iron similar to this on an episode of Jose Andres Made in Spain... I kept rewinding it to hear the "pfft pfft" of the iron hitting the top of the dessert. VERY COOL.
