Cuisinart CSKS-048 Sliding Skewer Pack, Silver (Set of 4)

They hold a good amount and keep the food from spinning around when you flip them on the grill. Nice added feature is being able to push the food off with the slider. I haven't had any issues with cleaning them, but I usually try to soak them right after I remove the food.

After cooking it all easily pushes off skewer to plate! Keeps veg from spinning on single skewer so better overall cook!

I've used these now for a couple years and I'm still using them. I only use them for shrimp on the grill though. They do a good job keeping the shape of the shrimp intact instead of them curling up. Easy to rotate too. The first time I used these I just pierced the shrimp and grilled them and when using the end piece that slides and pushes the food off, I just about crushed the shrimp. They were sticking. So I started oiling them and for the most part I still use a fork to pull them off instead of using the end piece. After your first grilling they'll never look the same again. I hot wash mine when they're done and really can't remember if I took a scouring pad to them in the past, but I still use them all the time.

Kabobs slide off skewers easily.

Great for shish kabobs, everything just slides off very cleanly without any issues.

The biggest thing to consider is what are you planning to skewer. My husband skewered chicken and veggies, but fed them onto each spike. Okay, that works, but when you go to "de-skewer", you can't use the push part as the spikes are now splayed. So, skewer something large enough that it needs both of the spikes so the removal feature can just push straight down. A second consideration is you need heat protection to use the removal feature as it has also been sitting on the hot grill. We are going to try them next with larger items.

I love these skewers for barbecuing! Easy to load up, the food doesn’t twirl around (since there are two tines each) and it’s easy and not messy to get the food off after it’s done using the slider at the end to push the food off. And, they’re easy cleanup — stainless steel goes straight into the dishwasher.

It's a good size for what I wanted. The prongs are sturdy and not thin. The only thing I didn't like was how it made my teeth feel when using the sliders to push meat off the skewers...like nails on a chalkboard...but that's probably just me.
