Customer Reviews

Made to Order
I don't understand the previous review. How hard is it to cut your pieces 1 1/2" wide so they fit easily on the skewer? Saw these demo'd on tv and they work perfectly...no spinning of food. Pricey but very heavy duty.

Disappointing...
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 ...

The middle size! These work much better then the large size.
The line of Raichlen skewers are all very well built using all stainless steel and somehow the handles stay reasonably cool when you are using them on the grill. This size is the middle of the line in terms of width. I think these are much better then the larger size which is too big and the smaller size which might be a touch too small.

(I saw other reviews complaining that these were too wide and another claiming that they didn't cook meat from the inside...my responses, cut your stuff to fit the skewer and I'm also not sure what someone is looking for in a skewer that would cook things from the inside too, that sounds like a recipe for some well-done meat...ick)
