I am the cook in the family and like to grill chicken kabobs coated in a sweet soy sauce [Indonesian satay]. Because of the sugar in the sauce, the kabobs often get stuck to the hot grill so the meat tears when the kabobs are turned. This set keeps the kabobs off the hot grill while letting the chicken brown nicely. If I could rate the set 6 stars I would without any hesitation. The set is so good that I bought one for each of my four children! If you are serious about grilling kabobs involving delicate foods, this is a must!

I, like many, had just put my kabob skewers on the grill. Steak, pork, chicken, whatever. I sprayed them, turned them, then sprayed again. Nevertheless, they stuck to the grill....
My son used wooden skewers, which burnt, shriveled, hard to remove, etc.
Found this product...very good, mainly because of the metal skewers and stand, which keeps the food off the grill. Also, the skewers are not round, but retangular, which keeps food from rotating when you turn them over. The skewers have a nice round circle at the end, easy for rotating.
Also, when you bring them in, they cool quickly, so we were able to pick them up without gloves, napkins, etc. Good product, good price, go for it!

I really like making vegetable kabobs on the grill to accompany my summer meals, but I really don't like trying to pinch hold of and rotate round skewers to grill foods evenly, especially when the maneuver makes some of the more tender ones (cherry tomatoes, for example) fall right off. Although wooden skewers are relatively inexpensive, it also feels wasteful to throw away charred skewers after every use. The Weber Kabob Set made it onto my wish list pretty quickly, and made it onto my grill not long after that.

The skewers are rectangular instead of round, so any combination of foods stays on easily and can be turned readily. The big, round ends are easy to grasp with a grill mitt or tongs. The skewers are thicker than typical wooden ones, so you have to give some thought to how small you cut your vegetables, but their size and sturdiness makes them ideal for meats. The rack is handy not only for grilling (although the skewers can be laid directly on the grate, if you like), but also for holding the kabobs when they come off the grill.

I have several of the Weber grill accessories, but the kabob set is the one that stays in heaviest rotation all summer long. Well...on second thought, maybe the char baskets Weber-Stephen 7403 Char-Basket Charcoal Fuel Holders, but when it comes to the food, itself, the kabob set is definitely the front runner!

Good quality, nice weight but be sure to clean the skewers thoroughly with soap and water and also a scouring pad before using. There was some grease on them perhaps from being "machined". It fits perfectly on my Weber Q100 grill.

Product is well made, and very inexpensive- does a great job. I did find that turning the meat sometimes was tricky as the skewer sometimes did not "catch" the frame groove and the skewer would flip back over to the side just cooked... nothing major though. Fun stuff!

Based on the reviews I had hoped this would work well on my Weber gas grill. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Although well made, when loaded with meat and vegetables, the rack isn't wide or high enough to prevent contact with adjacent skewers or the grill surface.

Unless you load very small pieces of food the lack of clearance is a big problem. The solution of course is to jettison the rack and lay the skewers directly on the grill. Works much better but I could have accomplished this more cheaply.

Most people expect hot dogs & hamburgers on the 4th of July but this time my kabobs were the big hit! This set makes making kabobs so easy to fix and to cook that you'll absolutely love it! I suggest everyone buy it...it'll be one decision you'll never regret

This utensil has us making healthy "Bobs" several times a week. It is handy, cost effective, and a down right pleasure to use.
We tend to use up all of our half used veggies that are wondering around in the fridge. The grooves make them easier to turn and stay in place when you turn them.
The kitchen stays clean because you end up making most of the dinner on the grill. I usually throw some rice in the rice cooker or roast up some root vegetables to go along with. If at all...
Some day I will get one more! Highly recommend! Goes through dishwasher well, ....however the round handles on the skewers get brown from the grill and we don't bother to spend a lot of time removing the baked on stuff.

The Kabob set itself is decent enough.... but not great enough to write a review about.... other than to let other 'unsuspects' know that it does NOT fit inside the Weber 100/120 grills with the lid closed. Outside of that, I still was less than impressed... not bad, mind you... just.... average.

I have used these a lot now, fit perfectly inside my Weber Q320. Definitely helps make excellent kebabs. You have to be careful with really soft foods, since they tend to fall off.
