| I saw these and did a quick impulse buy, didn't really pay attention to the design. I thought the ring was to hold the end piece of food from falling off during grilling (which is a problem I often have), but it is to aid in pushing the food off the skewer. Traditional skewers don't have a big handle wasting precious real estate on the grill, these handles are very long, and quite useless when heated to grilling temperatures. You can't grab them to turn the kabob, you have to let them cool off, and by then you might as well have removed the kabob contents for serving. I think these would be fine for the little hibatchi or a tiny open grill where the handles can hang off the side away from heat. Oh well, live and learn. |
