@SAKURAnoG It's natural, but it's not often used in a metaphorical context. You can scorch toast, or scorch your laundry while you're ironing it. You can also say that the temperature is scorching.

I wouldn't say scorch up or scorch down.
Scorch out is at least understandable, but it doesn't sound natural to me.
I'm an American, though. According to the dictionary, 'scorch off' means 'to move fast' in British English.
