I'm sure the large 8mm square profile is fit for the job, but when was the last time you were served tikka or kofte with such a large whole in it?

I dont notice the hole with these flats Malc. I can thread each piece of meat 3 times quite easily, although it can be scary  ;D (always in fear of self inflicted stigmata)

Actually, why am i threading them!! I just need to slide them on whole.  :
Speaking of holes, When i used to buy kebab rolls from Deans in Croydon, they would ask if you want it hot?
Of course!  ;D
They would then push 3 fresh whole green chillies into the hole of each seekh kebab

Love it  ;D What a handy little tip :

still trying to find some for myself... the ebay sellers don't sell them overseas 

Goncalo and anyone else struggling to find ingredients or equipment used in Indian restaurants, why dont you ask in your local restaurant/t.a?
If they cant source the items for you, then they'll surely point you in the right direction. 

Good point, indeed DP! I must give it a try, although I find that the pakistanis running indian TAs here aren't quite friendly

Ideal for anyone who's got a tandoor

Would be good indeed, but their p&p is about as expensive as the skewers themselves... very frustrating

Trouble finding skewers that are 8cm with a reasonable price. May have a chance of 4cm: the question is what material difference would there be when only using them for kebabs [or others that i have not thought of]?

I say this because of an interesting point was raised using chillies also, but would not a 4cm just as well do that task?

Unless anyone can provide me with a clarified and definitive answer as to why it should be 8cm, then I'm lost [once again  ]

Are you sure you are searching for the right thing ?  The skewers you are after are 8mm, not 8cm ...

Maybe its because 4mm is quite small and the meat might still spin even though being square? 
It was the price and the shape of the steel flats that sold it for me. I knew the meat would stay in place with those, and for a quid each i couldnt go wrong.
