Our tester ran them through the dishwasher multiple times and the colors on the handles did not show any signs of wear.At 26 inches, they are slightly long to be used on smaller outdoor BBQ grills and are too long for indoor use in the oven. One thing our tester noted was that the pointy and angled tips were not all made equal. Some of the skewers had really sharp tips while some struggled with food like mushrooms. These skewers come in two fun motifs—fish and steer—and are a fun conversation starter, in addition to being perfect for shrimp. The skewers are constructed as small pointy branches jutting out from the length of the spine. During testing, our reviewer found that grilling shrimp on these skewers was so easy. The prongs held onto the shrimp, and they stayed put throughout the grilling. Our tester noticed that these skewers bent a little when loaded with heavier or chunkier ingredients and they were not as good at controlling the spinning of food when used with larger cuts. They produced the best results when used with smaller cuts. Consistent Results: With the ability to control cooking temperatures and times, you can consistently produce skewers that are cooked to perfection, whether you’re serving them in a restaurant or in your garden. Overall, our tester was able to load up a good amount of food on these skewers and they held on strong without bending. The best part was that food stayed on—no matter how the skewers were turned.

Washing these was a bit of a maneuver (because of their length) but was easy enough, and they did not stain even when they weren't completely dried off after use.The angled tip helped load up the skewers with larger chunks of meat, whole tomatoes, whole peppers, and big chunks of fruits. The amount of time it took for the end of the skewers to cool down was faster than the other skewers we tested. Our tester noted that using smaller mittens and tongs to turn these was more efficient than using tongs alone. Our tester hand-washed them, and they need to be dried immediately. Otherwise, they rust and stain, as our tester found out the hard way when she just left them in the sink. If you have ever used small, thin, and rounded steel skewers, you know and understand the frustration of food spinning on the skewers. The food loses moisture, protein contracts with heat and starts to move away from the skewer, and when you want to turn the food over, it spins. The Norpro Stainless Steel Skewers are flat and wide and prevent that frustration—at a great price.
