Kigas: the universal refill gas by Kisag
Kigas is the universal liquid-gas refill canister made by Kisag (article 8401), a 600 ml can holding a purified blend of butane, isobutane and propane. It is the clean fuel that powers caramelizers, crème brûlée burners, rechauds, flambé torches and gas lighters of every brand, delivering a stable, soot-free and odourless flame that works reliably up to 3,500 metres above sea level.
What Kigas refill gas is
Kigas is a high-purity butane-propane liquid gas, refined specifically by Kisag so that the burner nozzles do not clog and the flame stays even and controllable. Because the blend is purified, it burns without soot and without smell, which is essential when the flame works directly on food such as a crema catalana or a glazed dessert. Each 600 ml canister is supplied with standardized adapters that let you refill gas appliances of different brands, and any unused gas remains inside the can with no losses through evaporation.
The manufacturer: Kisag, Swiss Made since 1945
Kisag AG was founded in 1945 by Walter Kissling in Bellach, in the canton of Solothurn, Switzerland. The company became famous for the Kisag cream whipper, patented in 1958, which sold in the millions and made the brand the benchmark for professional whippers. Today Kisag manufactures kitchen appliances and consumables in Switzerland and exports to around twenty countries, producing also as an OEM for other well-known brands. The Kigas refill gas belongs to this Swiss-made line of professional burner accessories and carries a 2-year warranty.
Technical characteristics
The 600 ml canister contains a purified mixture of n-butane, isobutane and propane. The gas is non-toxic, odourless and burns cleanly, preventing the carbon build-up that clogs burner jets over time. It remains usable at altitude up to 3,500 metres, which makes it suitable for mountain kitchens and high-altitude locations across Switzerland. The bayonet and screw adapters included cover the most common professional and household gas appliances.
Professional kitchen uses
Kigas is a staple of professional pastry and finishing work. Use it to refuel the Kisag caramelizer for the crisp sugar crust of crema catalana and crème caramel, to glaze meringues and lemon tarts, to caramelise the top of a baked Alaska, to flame a flambé service at the table, and to relight rechauds and chafing-dish burners during banqueting and catering. It is equally useful to top up kitchen gas lighters that ignite ovens, grills and salamanders. A single 600 ml canister covers weeks of intensive service in a busy pastry lab.
Complementary products
Pair the Kigas refill with the Kisag caramelizer burner that it feeds, and keep a gas lighter and an N2O charger set on hand for whipping siphons, so the entire flame-and-foam station is always operational. For high-volume sites a second canister kept in stock avoids any interruption during service.
