These look really cool, except they are very problematic to actually use. Because of their curved nature you can't really put any direct pressure on them to puncture the kabob items. Which gets trickier if you've marinated your veggies or meat and they are a little slippery to get on. You inevitably stab yourself trying to do it.Also, because they are curved, keeping the handle off the grill is pretty difficult, so you need to manipulate them with tongs on the grill. After a year of attempted use, I gave up and got rid of them and get these instead:Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Signature Stainless Steel Grilling Kabob Skewers, Set of 6 (3/8-inch Wide). Much more functional, much easier to deal with.
