Creme brulee isn't really that tough to make (it just looks like it is)

I have a torch now -- but you can do it without a torch to brown the sugar on top by putting the custard in it's serving dish -- then putting in a larger container (oven proof) surrounded by a lot of ice) Sprinkle the sugar on top, and put it in the broiler for a few minutes... You really have to watch it - but the sugar will brown long before the ice melts.
