This shot was done in the kitchen with light off. The purpose is to darken the environment and pan itself, to minimize the distraction.
Long exposure at max aperture. I regret using max aperture later when my wife asked me why I didn't use a smaller exposure to create the star effect, that was after the submission is closed.
The fire is blue color by nature (LPG). I used a bluish single LED torch light (China made) to shine from top.
I put a metal raiser inside the pan (those use for steaming). On the metal raise I put a shallow container to contain ice cubes. The purpose of the metal raiser is to reduce the heat transfer from the fire during the exposure, so that I could have more shots before the ice cubes are melted. And since the pan is quite deep, I can have this shot done with not-so-many ice cubes.
