Three ComplaintsSunday, October 03, 2004
These skewers do a good job of preventing food from rotating while on the grill; however, I have three complaints.
1) Flimsy. I was expecting them to be sturdier. Each prong wiggled a bit too much for my taste. It made the food a little bit harder to put on the skewer. I guess the trade-off is that Weber wanted the skewer to be lightweight. I think Weber should have made them a little heavier to make them a bit sturdier.
2) Rust. Make sure you handwash them. Not a huge amount of rust happens after putting them in the dishwasher---- but the rust is annoying.
3) Dull ends. There are no points at the end of the skewer. Pointy ends would make it easier to put the food on.
Food doesn't spin, and they're lightweight. I give them 3 stars.

It works but not the greatestThursday, July 22, 2004
I bought the skewers because the price was reasonable and that it was from Weber. Unfortunately, the quality isn't what Weber used to be - dependable and long lasting. Although it claims that it's dishwasher safe, the skewers came out rusted and discolored. I suggest hand washing them. Look at other choices before buying this one.

Great Invention!Friday, June 06, 2003
I am so tired of slippery food sliding off skewers when you try to turn them over! These double-pronged skewers really work at keeping food on the skewers, and even better, from sliding around when you try to turn them over. I must have looked pretty funny in the past trying turn shrimp over to cook on the other side while they twirled around and around the skewer, always with the cooked side down! But no more! I always hand-wash skewers anyway, so have had no rust problems.

A good skewerFriday, September 06, 2002
I have used a set of these skewers for a few years. I am buying a couple more sets. I haven't had any problem with rust. Meats and vegetables stay put with double pronged skewers. An improvement would be to taper the ends. I would rate at five stars if the ends were more pointed.

Rust-prone, but nice designFriday, June 28, 2002
Though Weber claims these are dishwasher safe, these rusted after a first run through the dishwasher. I like the way they work--personally, I didn't have a problem with the "blunt" tips. Everyone's right--they're not pointy, which to me (a klutz) is good because it saves my fingers. Still, I skewer veggies just fine all the time with them. In the future I'll handwash, and maybe see about calling Weber to complain about the rust.
