Topic: Skewers

Just ordered some of these. Hoping they are the real stainless and not iron as some peeps have found out when ordering similar items.

How are they doing?

...Hoping they are the real stainless...

If the skewers you ordered are the same as those I wrote about in the first post on this thread then you'll not be disappointed.

Some very similar on Fleebay but only 4mm.  Always thought it is better to be better in the girth than the length..    ;D  Joking aside  - a bigger hole should = more evened cooking from within.

Mine have arrived and I am so impressed with them that I have ordered four more! I have even waxed up the handles and they look great . He has a couple more sets on there still.

to those w/o a tandoor: Where do you put your skewers on to cook the meat?

For example, using the skewers that naga bought, if you were to place it in the oven, wouldn't the wooden handles burn too?

Mine go on large roasting tray under grill. They are suspended and are long enough that the handles are not under the heat.

I'm not sure I followed you RubyDoo -- do you mean you put them just under the grill, but with the handles sticking out of the oven, i.e leaving the oven's door open?

Thanks

er  yes. That is exactly what I do.  I think the confusion comes in where peeps have stupid ovens where the grill doesn't work unless the door is closed.  I just cannot understand that. A grill is an element that glows red etc and applies direct heat to the food underneath. Why on earth does the door need to be closed? Yes, mine will get hotter all round with the door closed but then it has more of an oven effect and direct heat from above.

Would these be any good?

They look the part but I would want a bit of description. How long are they, what diameter and what profile are the splines? Eg are they square etc.

Be more tempted by these
