Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Premium 8-Inch Stainless Steel Skewers for BBQ, Grilling, and Kabobs - Set of 12, Ring-Tip Handle by Evelin Barnett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The tip is too big to pierce flesh

I really like these skewers but after a few uses I have to admit partial defeat. Its tip is a triangle designed to hold the meat in place after it has been pierced and placed on the skewer. Spring. Two things. First, it makes it dangerous to use as you have to push the meat towards the skewer, which usually ends in a sudden forward thrust - once the hole is made - which can result in the tip of the skewer falling into your hands. I've tried various techniques including two stupid devices to keep my hands off the tip but nothing. Wondering WHY the tip is so big? These are tiny 8 inch skewers. They are unlikely to be held in such a way during transport that the meat slips off! The tip should be twice as wide as it is now - this also saves the manufacturer money. The tip is so large that after making a hole in the meat, the meat unwinds because the hole is too big the meat partially detaches from the skewer. Another common problem looks a little different: if the meat is cold or you have stored the meat skewers in the fridge to cook later, the metal skewers will remain cold for some time after they have cooled. if you use wooden skewers. The temperature difference is big enough to make a difference, so I'm experimenting with leaving the meat out so it warms up before cooking, rather than before it goes bad. I will continue to use these skewers because they are eco-friendly, easy to clean and very durable. However, this advice is a problem and sooner or later I'll see one of my own fingers on my kebab and that would be very annoying.
