Unfortunately there is no such thing as "flame annealing"..... Only things one can do is heat object in flame so it has a uniform temperature then either garage it into a kiln at proper holding temperature then finish annealing cycle, or slow cool it in vermiculite or fiber blanket and batch anneal later..
