Top 5 Best Skewers for Kebabs

By Saad Fayed, About.com

When I am at a cookout with friends, I always admire the stainless steel skewers when my meal is served. The type of skewer the host uses says a lot about how he or she feels about the occasion, the guests, and the meal.

If you have been using wooden skewers, I recommend investing in a good set of steel skewers. They are economical and add sophistication to a kebab.

1. Weber Set of 7 Skewer and Kabob Set

When you love the sport of grilling, you gotta have the right gear and Weber has them like this kabob set. It comes with six stainless steel skewers and a heavy-duty plated steel rack. It fits 18.5-in. or larger diameter charcoal grills plus all Weber gas grills.

2. Outset 16-in. BBQ Kabob and Skewer Set, Stainless Steel

When it comes to grilling, it’s essential that you have well-designed and smart-looking tools to keep the grilling experience enjoyable and fun! Outset’s stainless steel BBQ Kabob and Skewer Set with Rack features six stainless steel skewers and a stainless steel rack that measures 16-in. wide x 9.5-in. long and 2-in. high. Because of the high quality, simply handwash with mild dish soap to clean.

3. Kuhn Rikon Set of 2 Grill Chef Skewers, Stainless Steel

These skewers make grilling a breeze with their patented handle mechanism that locks into place on the finger loop during cooking and then can be clicked forward to push the food off afterwards. The flat design won’t roll around and the sturdy shaft holds more than a pound of food securely.

This set of four skewers is ideal for kabobs or satays. Load them with delicate veggies or seafood for easy, all-at-once turning. The skewers are 15-in. long.
