The blue flame is a result of complete combustion. Orange flames, such as a match, are a result of incomplete combustion and eject a lot of carboniferous products that we call “soot”. Obviously you dont want this in food, so gas is used in such a way that the combustion is complete, resulting in an intense, concentrated flame that appears blue or blueish white.
