Reviews of Download Sterno 50110 Culinary Jet Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Bought this burner and brought to Singapore, but didn't test first. Big mistake. The filling port (valve) leaks gas. So a bit of quality concern and possibly dangerous, if I had not noticed. Other reviews have been good so mine might have just been a bad one, but you would think a company as large as Sterno would test ALL gas products to ensure no leaks. And I can't return due my location. So 1 star for Quality checks and most of all Safety.

This was a replacement heater for a Hario Syphon coffemaker. The unit that came with it stuttered, would not light consistently and did not fill easily with butane. This unit was not made for this purpose. I think it was for replacing cans of sterno under food warmers. Another reviewer had used it for this purpose and he was right, it works fine, you just have to remove the plastic base it sits on.

It fires up first time every time. It is hotter than the stock unit and boils the water more quickly. It is a little noisy at full blast, kind of like a small propane torch. I have not tried it, but I bet it could cook a small meal in a small pan. Appears to have good build quality, with a solid feel to the ignition and intensity dial.

The flame on this is quiet strong, and i haven't tried cooking with it though. Only concern with this burner is that it isn't very consistent with the flame level. A small tweek or tap would have caused the flame to increase or decrease significantly.

Overall, it gets the job done when making my morning coffee.

Honest reviews on Reviews of Download Sterno 50110 Culinary Jet

I bought this item to use with my Hario Coffee Syphon (5 Cup model). When you remove the black plastic boot from the bottom it fits underneath the Hario nicely. The shiny chrome finish complements the chrome finish on the Hario.

The Hario comes with an alcohol burner but the Sterno Culinary Jet is much faster, much more pleasant to look at and also much nicer to use.

I looked at a number of other butane burners, but I couldn't find anybody who wanted to bother shipping them over to the UK.

In the end I ordered two Sterno Culinary Jets from a website in the USA.

They came well packaged and are very well built. They have a very solid feel. Easy to load up with butane, easy to light, the flame can be controlled from a gentle flame to a very satisfying roaring flame.
