Why didn't I think of that?
»
I first found Fire Wire skewers on another site and thought they looked great, but was a little skeptical about using the pointed end as a handle to turn the food on the grill. Then I saw the video that showed the temperature gun test on Amazon and was sold. Stainless steel does not conduct heat very well and therefore you can actually leave a few inches of the 31" long skewer hanging out off the grilling surface and it is cool enough to grab with your bare hands to turn the food. You will not believe how well these work.
The other huge advantage of the Fire Wire is the stainless steel construction means the marinade will not react with skewer so you can preload them with your food and drop them into a plastic zip lock bag with your favorite marinade and they will take up very little space in the fridge or cooler. The best part about that is that you never have to handle the messy marinated meat, just pull the loaded skewer out of the bag and throw it on the grill. NO DOUBLE HANDLING!!!!!!
Standard skewers at my house have been added to the garage sale pile, I will never use them again. The set of 2 that comes in the package is just enough for a meal for 2 hungry people, so if you are feeding a big group, I suggest that you buy enough to go around.
One more thing, Fire Wire skewers have become my gift of choice for clients. Every single person that has seen them is going absolutely crazy over them. I have given at least 10 sets to some of my best clients in the last few weeks and they all call back to see where I got them because they want more sets.
Hope this was helpful & Happy Grilling!

How many in a package?
»
I have not purchased this yet, but was wondering how many skewers do you get in a package? Is this price for one skewer? Or is it a package of 2? If someone who has purchased this could answer this question, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
2 in a Package according to "Michael". Thanks! I will edit my review once I receive/use my skewers.

The first real grilling innovation in a long time

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R26B2J4HG26WQ7 When I saw this product Fire Wire Stainless Steel Flexible Grilling Skewer I just had to own it. Grilling with kabobs was always a hassle before I discovered this. I found this video on YouTube which does a great job of explaining it. Check this out!!!

Love This!
»
I love to grill kabobs, but hate the hassle of regular skewers. This product is great for marinating and grilling all kinds of food. The best part is that I can utilize the entire grill, thus am able to grill more food at one time.

Great grilling concept!!

I just tried the FireWires this weekend & love them! The flexibility makes them easy to skewer both meat & veggies. My "old-fashioned" skewers were awkward to marinate in because I never had a container the right depth & length to marinate evenly. With the FireWire, you can marinate right in a baggie - and the clean-up was much easier! Another plus... the handle stays cool, so no bulky potholders are needed to turn the skewers.
The FireWire is a clever & unique item & I plan on purchasing several more sets for gifts.
