Great design, but very wide November 28, 2009
Anthony R. Crain (Scottsdale, Az USA)
These skewers have the perfect design. Handles are easy to grab even with gloves on. Tips are pointy enough to skewer food and fingers happily. But these bad boys are very wide. I tried to skewer pineapple with them and the pineapple split apart half the time. Mushrooms, tomatoes, etc would probably have a hard time not splitting too. The advantage of flat skewers is that the objects won't spin in place, but instead, when you rotate the skewers, the food rotates too. But with these being so wide, it may be tough to find foods that will stand up to them.
 Great skewers November 21, 2009
J. Guidinger (Austin, TX United States)
The skewers work very well. We are pleased with the flat design as this helps prevent meat and vegetables from rotating on the skewer as we often found with regular round skewers.
 Disappointing... October 12, 2009

I was tired of using skewers that causing meat to spin around when I tried to turn them, so I gave these a try.
Good:
- They are definitely preventing the spinning meat problem.
- They have the perfect length, not too short not too long.
- Shape of the handle allows easy control of the skewer.
Bad:
- They are way too wide and if the meat chunks are not cut pretty big they get ripped into pieces when you try to insert the skewer.
- Shape of the handle causes uneven placement of the skewer on the grill surface as one side sits flat but the other side will sit with an angle due to the handle shape (not such a big deal)
- Sharp end could be cut on both sides. It takes some effort to go through the meat due the the thickness of the skewer.
Ugly:
- When I took them out the second time to use I notices rust marks! May be not such a great quality of stainless steel ...
does it's job as intended September 17, 2009

This skewer is what one needs if they are tired of having the pieces of what you're cooking roll on the skewer when you attempt to turn it to a different cooking postition. The 3/8 inch width of this skewer is perfect for any vegetable, fruit or meat. Does away with the frustration of trying to keep what you are cooking from rolling to the heavy side as happens with round skewers.
Good Quality August 13, 2009

It's a pain to clean the side that the food's not on but there a great buy.
