A couple of skewers also had some minor staining or rust spot after being used a few times. I was able to clean them up easily, but it's worth mentioning.Tips For juicy kabobs with a delicious crispy finish:1. Marinate your kabobs: Choose your favorite marinade and let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, in a dish lined with foil.2. Preheat your grill: Aim for medium-high heat for even cooking.3. Thread your kabobs: Once marinated, thread your meat and vegetables onto skewers.4. Wrap with foil (partially) or cook on foil: Loosen the foil slightly from the marinade and loosely wrap the kabobs, leaving some of the top exposed. This allows some smoke to penetrate while still providing initial protection.5. Cook partially covered: Grill the kabobs for about 5-7 minutes per side with the foil on. This will gently cook the meat through without drying it out. Baste the kabobs occasionally with leftover marinade while grilling uncovered for extra flavor.6. Unwrap and char: Once the kabobs are cooked through but not yet browned, remove the foil completely. Increase the heat slightly if needed and grill for another 2-3 minutes per side, or until the desired level of char and crispiness is achieved.Overall:Despite the slight quality hiccup with a few skewers with rust stain spots, these Blue Donuts Metal Kabob Skewers are a fantastic upgrade. They're strong, reliable, and make grilling kebabs a breeze. For the price, they're a great buy – just remember to dry them thoroughly after use.
