Product Description
A no-nonsense way to get your delicious kabobs sizzling! Designed by Steven Raichlen host of Best of Barbecue, these extra wide, heavy duty skewers ensure that chunks of meat, fish, or heavier vegetables won't slip and spin as they do on more slender, conventional skewers, while the no-burn handle keeps barbecuing easy and stress-free. These grill accessories also work wonders as shiskabob skewers and makes grilling (and removing) traditional meat/vegetable kabobs, Middle East kofta, or Indian seekh kebabs a breeze. So you'll never have to worry about how to skewer grill vegetables, meats, or kabobs again. Set of six, long-lasting flat skewers, each measures 17 long and wide. Stainless steel. Comes gift boxed.

 See images for sharpened skewers! March 16, 2010
P. Piggly Hogswine (Colorado)
These skewers are great - they make cooking kebabs easier and hence more enjoyable to me. They really are flat so they don't rotate. By hand these are easy to clean and I haven't had any rust problems (I don't own a dishwasher). I don't own a grill either so I make all of my kebabs under a gas broiler. I make a *lot* of kebabs (from Indian to Vietnamese to BBQ, see images for an example) and I went through soaking bamboo skewers like lots of other people. I also wasted money on those metal skewers with the "B B Q" on the ends (available on Amazon). They're terrible (I reviewed those as well). Finally I bought all 3 sizes of the Steven Raichlen skewers together with a mandoline slicer and got the cheapest one free by the 4-for-3 promotion. At first I found it a little difficult to get the skewers through certain types of meat, and I poked myself a few times (nothing serious). I decided to sharpen the ends of the skewers myself. I have to be more careful now, but ultimately I think it's safer since the skewers just glide through the meat and I don't have to force them and they don't slip (similar to why sharp knives are safer than dull ones). I uploaded an image of a sharpened versus nonsharpened skewer end.
Kebabs are a great food in my opinion -- delicious yet easy, fast and fairly inexpensive (depending on the meat you choose, of course!). It usually takes me about 30 minutes to get a marinade together and prepare the meat, then I let them sit in the fridge for a day or so. Cooking kebabs under the broiler is quick and easy, cleanup is a snap, and a citrus splash, some dipping sauce (either a chutney or the rest of the marinade cooked down to a paste) and a simple side dish (from homemade potato salad to a green salad to other, various veggie kebabs) complete the meal. Wash it down with a homemade ginger kombucha and finish with an espresso for dessert. I am an avid cook and have bought lots of equipment and cookbooks on Amazon. Eventually I will review all of them, especially the cookbooks, so you can see which kebab recipes I like for whatever it's worth.
Good January 30, 2010

The flat blade makes it so the food doesn't spin around and they are long enough to get a good amt. on them. The only thing is the handle; very hard to clean in the nooks.
Good looking product December 5, 2009
The Service Advisor (Lexington, OH)
Because it's late in the "Grilling Season" here, I haven't yet got to use these skewers but they seem to be of good quality and durable. They ARE magnetic though so, I wonder about the stainless steel content. I've looked (online and in stores) for a better skewer and found none quite like these.
Well packaged too, would make a nice gift for someone!
Good but don't put in the dishwasher October 17, 2009

Thses are some great skewers, wide enough where the food does not spin when you rotate them. The biggest drawback is they are NOT dishwasher safe and it is NOT marked on the package. I would definately recommend these but again, do not put them in the dishwasher, they will rust the first time.
no more soaking skewers October 15, 2009
karl michalko (rochester, ny USA)
These are perfect kabob skewers. Very sturdy, sharp point to get through food, wide flat edge so the food doesn't spin around when you are flipping them as it invariably does with round skewers. More expensive than bamboo skewers but unless you lose these, they should last forever. Pay attention to the measurements as these bad boys are long. I have a WSM 22.5 inch and 22 inch Performer and these fit but not on my 18 One Touch Silver or the little Smokey Joe. If you have a small grill these may not work. Otherwise, they are perfect.
