Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
These flat, extra-wide skewers look cool and work even better. Ground lamb and chunks of beef, pork, fish, even wet vegetables, like tomatoes and mushrooms, won't slip or spin, as they do on conventional slender metal skewers. All stainless steel.

In my opinion, the best tasting barbecue is where the meat is cooked from the inside and the outside in about the same time. Otherwise, the outside dries out while the inside is still uncooked.
To achieve this, you need to use
-metal skewers
-medium to high heat
-have sufficient mass in the skewer to absorb heat and conduct it to cook the inside of the meat
The skewers should not be round because the meat will just spin when the skewers is turned on the BBQ.
I thought the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue SR8026 Signature Stainless Steel Skewers would do the trick since they were wide. Unfortunately, they are not thick enough to conduct sufficient heat to the center of the meat to cook it from the inside.

They join my discarded skewer pile. The search continues for the ideal skewer.....

I don't understand the previous review. How hard is it to cut your pieces 1 1/2" wide so they fit easily on the skewer? Saw these demo'd on tv and they work perfectly...no spinning of food. Pricey but very heavy duty.

I purchased these skewers b/c I grill lots of vegetables and was tired of veggies spinning on round skewers and falling apart. The flat design of these skewers is a good thing. Food doesn't slip or spin. However, these skewers are extremely wide. So wide, in fact, that one must carefully cut veggies to ensure they aren't too narrow for the skewer. In fact, the shear girth of these skewers often tears smaller veggies apart. Can't say I'd buy these again.
