Steven Raichlen Grilling Kabob Skewers

The best skewers for grilling...

Steven Raichlen Stainless Steel Grilling Kabob Skewers are by far the best skewers for grilling. They're stainless steel so they won't burn like wooden skewers, and they're flat so the shrimp (or whatever you're grilling) won't rotate on the skewers when turn them. You won't believe how much easier it is to grill kabobs with these until you've tried them.
