Description

Skewer - the name is taken from the Georgian dish of the same name, is a tool (a metal rod with a sharp tip) for cooking meat, vegetables, fish and seafood, mushrooms, bread over an open fire (coals).

If you go deeper into history, initially ancient people made them from branches and cooked game on fire. Over time, humanity has evolved, they underwent great changes before coming to the form in which they are sold in stores today. The models are varied, they are distinguished with a straight blade, angular, self-rolled skewers (with the function of turning all at the same time on the grill), made of metal, wood (bamboo are popular in Japan), of various lengths. They all have similar functionality and type.

Perhaps a comparative table or just a list of pros and cons of a certain type will help you in choosing. Selection tips are presented below.

How to choose

Many do not pay special attention to which skewers to cook barbecue, although the final result directly depends on this.

To avoid mistakes when choosing, it is worth considering certain recommendations.

Criterias of choice

1. The quality of the materials. High-quality materials will keep you and your family safe and healthy, so it is not always worth buying inexpensive things, be sure to read what they are made of. Some products are coated with aluminum or polymer coating, which during use can get into your body with food. The quality of the material is something that is not worth saving on. The material can be divided into 2 large subspecies: metal and wood.

• Metal ones are more reliable, durable and strong. When buying, you must carefully inspect them for chips and scratches. For safe use, the surface must be perfectly flat and smooth.
• Wooden skewers also have a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

• little weight;
• harmlessness;
• no need to wash;
• aesthetics.

Disadvantages:

• cross-sectional shape (food can rotate during cooking);
• disposable;
• require preliminary soaking in water (about 30 minutes)

2. Blade.

• flat. Convenience of cooking various dishes (vegetables, seafood, mushrooms, poultry). Food is firmly on the blade, does not spin during cooking. Convenience when washing products after work;
• angular. In production, steel is used that is thinner than straight steel. Securely fixes food, prevents it from spinning during frying. The disadvantages include low strength and the inconvenience of removing fat after cooking.

3. Blade dimensions. The thickness and width of the surface are more important when choosing. If you prefer a flat blade, you need to select models with a thickness of 2-2.5 mm. They are stronger and more reliable to hold weight. If the thickness is less, then the service life is significantly reduced. The width will depend on the type of food you prefer to cook. If these are vegetables or chicken meat, then the optimal width will be 5-8 mm, but if you are going to cook large pieces of meat or kebabs on skewers, then choose a width of 8-14 mm.
4. Skewer length and handle. Optimally, the skewer should be about 15-20 cm longer than your barbecue (and exactly the work surface). This will allow all products to cook evenly on it. Pay attention to the presence of a fireproof ring or impregnation of the wood handle with a special solution. The metal handle can also become hot during frying and cause inconvenience and discomfort.
