Checklist For Barbecue Skewers

Material
  • Barbecue sk ewers or also called shish kebabs are made of high quality metal such as twisted steel or stainless steel. The smooth surface of the steel makes it easy to clean them after use.
  • If there is a handle, the handle of the barbecue skewers is made of wood or plastic.
Size
  • The size and length of the barbecue skewer should match that of the food being grilled.
  • For example, a small barbecue skewer is more recommended for small sausages, while a larger skewer is recommended for shish kebab or chicken.
  • Grill skewers in lengths between 35 and 100 cm should be sufficient for most dishes.
Safety
  • Make sure there is enough distance between you and the grill. The skewer should be long enough to easily maintain this.
  • A heat-repellent handle or a heat-protective handle is important to prevent the grill skewer from heating up on the handle and causing burns.
  • Tip covers guarantee that you won’t prick or cut yourself while transporting the skewers.
Extras
  • A fork sk ewer with prongs is very handy to keep even the most stubborn sausage from slipping.
  • For a sweet treat, there are special marshmallow roasters that let you grill delicious melted marshmallows or S`Mores.
  • Movable sliders on the grill spit make it easy for you to remove the food from the spit.
  • With a storage bag , you can easily transport the barbecue skewers to the barbecue area or garden, as well as store them there.

Grill skewers are grilled at about 180 degrees for 15 minutes.

Which barbecue skewers?

Grill skewers: When to season?

Don’t season your barbecue skewers until after grilling. Seasoning too soon removes water from the meat and makes it dry.
