Amazon.com Review

Grill zesty Polynesian shrimp and juicy pineapple with this kabob set from Weber. It includes six, single-prong skewers and a kabob rack. Skewers snap into the rack so food cooks over the grill, rather than directly on its grates. Use these versatile tools to barbecue unusual kabob fare--such as cherry tomatoes, tofu, peaches, or other delicate foods that bruise or char easily. This kit makes a great gift for vegetarian chefs who prefer their kabobs without meat residue from non-vegetarian grill grates.

The rack is made of heavy-duty steel, while skewers are high-quality stainless steel with attractive nickel plating. Circular skewer ends allow chefs to rotate kabobs for even cooking without removing the rack from the grill. This Weber rack fits 18-1/2-inch or larger charcoal, electric, and gas grills. For best results, hand wash both rack and skewers. The set measures 12-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 1-1/4 inches, and weighs 2pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

5.0 out of 5 stars What A Neat Idea!!, November 22, 2005

While I like Shish Kabobs, I do not like cooking shish kabobs. Why? Because the usual skewers are round and have wooden handles. As the food shrinks while cooking, it looses its attachment to the skewer and rotates freely making flipping near impossible. And those wooden handles can't over the fire, of course.

Weber to the rescue! This whole unit is metal, so there are no wooden handles. The skewers are rectangular, which impedes slippage of food while cooking. The skewers fit into grooves in the base, and using good mitts or tongs, the large handles make flipping easy. The entire unit is solidly made.

If one gives all parts a good scrub as soon as they are cool enough to touch, the cleanup is easy. The base snaps apart, so there should be no storeage problems either.

And the price is right

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes kabob-ing much more simple and pleasant, July 11, 2006

Before I purchased this kabob set, I was using standalone metal kabob skewers that got stuck to the grilling grate every time. I had the option of spraying on grilling spray to make the food not stick but I didn't want to have to mess with that.

I have not been disappointed with this purchase at all. This kabob set is simple to assemble, easy to clean, and easy to use. The big rings at the end make grasping the kabob skewer to rotate while wearing grilling gloves extremely easy. The skewers stay in place and don't keep rolling over when least expected. The food cooked on the skewers wonderfully without the need for nonstick spray. The grips on the side make moving the skewer set from the grill to the table extremely easy and balanced.

Once again Weber has made a terrific quality useful product.

I've used this several times already. It works really well. It easily comes apart to take up less space for storage. It holds the skewers up above the cooking grate, which works well for delicate items like shrimp that tend to stick when they touch the hot surface.

One of the best things about it is the flat skewers. If you are using round skewers, as I was before I bought this, you are in for a treat. They work just like the round ones except the food won't rotate on them. That means when you turn the skewer, the food turns with it -- what a great idea! Believe me, you'll never use the round ones again after trying this.
