Product Overview

Stepping up your grilling game starts with the right tools, and  this 10-pack of stainless steel kebab skewers 400mm from the renowned French brand De Buyer is a fantastic place to start. Forget flimsy wooden skewers that burn, snap, and  need constant replacing.

  • Pro: The flat shape is brilliant; food grips perfectly for an even cook.
  • Con: Being all-metal, they get extremely hot, so always use tongs to handle.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Turkish Kitchen in Manchester was struggling with consistency for their popular Adana and  chicken shish kebabs. Their wooden skewers would often char too quickly in the grill, sometimes breaking and  leading to food waste and  uneven cooking during hectic weekend services.

"We switched to the De Buyer stainless steel skewers and  the difference was immediate. They are tough, they hold the meat perfectly, and  our presentation has improved tenfold. Our grill chefs can work faster and  with more confidence. No more fishing burnt bits of wood out of the grill!"

Mehmet Yilmaz – Head Chef

The change completely eliminated skewer-related food wastage and  increased the kitchen's output of perfectly cooked kebabs by an estimated 20% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, remove all packaging carefully.
  • Give the skewers a thorough wash with hot, soapy water before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Handle with care – the ends are sharpened to a point for effective piercing.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, clean skewers as soon as possible after use to prevent food from hardening on them.
  • The skewers are fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and  easy in a commercial environment.
  • Always ensure skewers are completely dry before storing to maintain their pristine condition.
  • Store them flat or hanging by the hook in a dry place, away from other metals if possible.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Skewers

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few quick tips to help you pick the perfect skewers for your professional kitchen.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the professional's choice. It's durable, won't burn or splinter like wood, is non-porous for better hygiene, and  can handle extreme heat.

Consider the Shape

Round skewers are common, but flat skewers are superior for control. They prevent food from spinning, ensuring an even cook, which is critical for restaurant grilling skewers stainless steel.

Look for a Good Handle

A loop or hook at the end isn't just for show. It provides a secure point to grip with tongs for safe and  easy turning and  plating.

Plan Your Quantity

Think about your busiest service. How many skewers will you need prepped and  ready to go? Buying in packs like these is often more cost-effective.

Ease of Cleaning

In a busy kitchen, time is money. Dishwasher-safe skewers are a massive advantage, saving valuable time and  effort on manual washing.

Stop the Spin: Why a Flat Skewer is a Griller's Best Friend

Ever tried to turn a kebab on a round skewer, only for that one stubborn chunk of onion or chicken to stay put, refusing to flip over? It's a common frustration that leads to one side getting burnt while the other is undercooked. The flat profile of these skewers is the simple, genius solution to that exact problem.

Think of it like this: a round skewer is like trying to turn a loose bolt with a worn-out spanner – there's no grip, so it just spins in place. A flat skewer, however, acts like a perfectly fitted key in a lock. It provides two solid points of contact inside the food, 'locking' it in place. When you turn the skewer, every single piece of meat and  vegetable turns with it, guaranteed. This small design detail makes a huge difference, giving you total control and  ensuring a beautiful, even cook on all sides, every time.
