Barbecue Skewers Product Review:
Last week I was given the chance to try out Cave Tools’ Shish Kabob Barbecue Skewers 10pc Set. I love grilling out, and with the crazy mild winter we’ve been having in the Northeast, I was excited to throw something delicious on our gas grill. I chose to make a fairly traditional teri-syle beef kabob, mostly because I know C will eat it without complaining. And let’s be honest, it’s delicious! I have included my recipe below if you’d like to try it out, too.
The 10 piece set of Cave Tools Skewers is a great size. Depending on who you’re cooking for, and what you’re making, this set is going to work well for most families and small groups. They are fantastic for meats and thinly sliced or softer fruits and vegetables. The piercing end of the skewer is sharp but flattened, so it isn’t going to go into chucks of carrots, but it will be great for onions, tomatoes, zucchini, etc. I really wanted to try them on the leftover pineapple I used, but we ate it for breakfast. Grilled pineapple is seriously scrumptious with ice cream.
There are a number of great features on this set. One is the easy food remover disks that aid in releasing your food from the rod. It’s such a bother when wooden skewers splinter or snap when you are taking off the meal you worked so hard on! These disks slide easily up the skewer and slip the food off without mashing it. The flat design is also super functional, as it keeps the food pieces from turning on the skewer while you’re trying to turn them on the grill. And at my house, everything except the cast iron has to be able to go in the dishwasher. When dinner was done, I rinsed the skewers off a little and tossed them in the utensil keeper in the dishwasher. They came out spic and span without a trace of beefiness.
Recipe: Teri Beef Kabobs:
- 1-2 pounds beef sirloin, cubed into 1 inch pieces. My steak of 1 ½ pounds was plenty for 3 people.
- Marinade: this will also work well with pork, chicken or veggies!
- 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tbsp Ponzu or Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Pineapple Juice (secret ingredient!)
- ½ tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Dried Onions
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (optional)
- -Stir everything together in a large bowl. Add meat, gently toss to coat, and marinate in the fridge up to 8 hours. I let it set covered on the counter for about an hour, stirring occasionally. This meat is going to cook through, and that length of time is safe.
- --Heat your cooking surface to a medium high temperature. Gently oil it with a bit of vegetable oil to keep these morsels from sticking.
- --Slide meat onto Cave Tools Shish Kabob Skewers.
- --These small, sweet chunk are going to cook quickly…they should be done in about 10 minutes, and I turn them 3-4 times to make sure the sugars and sesame seeds don’t burn.
- --Carefully remove skewers from cooking surface with hot pad or tongs, and let the meat rest 5 minutes.
- --Use the Food Removal Disks to slide your delicious dinner onto a plate with steamed broccoli and rice, or our favorite, quinoa and edamame pods~

About Marcia Kellogg:
I am a mama living in the Hudson Valley of New York with my wonderful husband, two gorgeous children, and furry and finned pets. Aside from my family, my life revolves around FOOD–creating it, reading about it, sharing it, and eating it!! After getting a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts at The Culinary Institute of America, I realized cooking is really the area I love more, so I have taking part-time jobs as personal chef and culinary skills instructor. But even more than food, I love spending time with my family, whether it’s on the football field, baking cookies at home or going to mommy and me class. We adore traveling to see our relatives around the country, especially in Montana and Hawaii. I will make it to Europe one of these days, and I consider my only regret in life that I don’t have more stamps in my passport~
I do like to cook, but I’m still learning. I think kabobs are incredible party recipes. I will certainly let you know if I try it. It looks so tasty.
Great, can’t wait to hear how it goes!
Those look like great skewers…and the little disc on the end to help get the food off is such a great idea. That can certainly be an issue sometimes…especially with meat.
They work really well! It’s terrible when you mangle your delicious hard work ~
Those skewers look like they’d be great for doing veggies on the grill, too! I’m so glad summer’s here. I can’t wait to get out and start grilling.
I can’t wait for warmer weather!
Kebabs are very popular with my boys! They love eating off of sticks.
Caveboys! Love it~
I will be planning to make these soon, they sound so delicious!
Great! Let us know what you think~
The recipe looks very good. It is nice that the skewers made it easier for you to prepare a good meal.
They really do. I love a good kabob, but sometimes I would just saute the meat so I didn’t have to deal with soaking the skewers and turning the loose meat. No more!
we love to grill and good skewers make it so much easier
They do!
I should try making a kabob dish this week to switch up what I normally do. The skewers look like they are quality tools.
There are so many options for kabobs, that’s one of the great things about them!
I love those skewers! We love to marinate chicken and beef and cook out on the grill. Thanks for sharing these.
You’re very welcome! What’s your favorite marinade?
Those kabob tools would be perfect for when our family goes camping! Looks like a great recipe!
Perfect over an open fire grate! Just bring something to grab them with.
Those Barbecue skewers look like a must-have tool for my kitchen. I’ll have to scoop me up a set of these!
Don’t forget the coupon code for Amazon!
I do love kebabs so I will be trying out the recipe. I like doing chicken or beef kebabs interlaced with green/red peppers ?
That’s most common for us, too, with onions as well.
Sounds like an interesting dish and not one that is necessarily that popular here in England, so who knows I might give it a go when the weather warms up a bit enough to havea BBQ here
Hopefully none of the ingredients will be too difficult to find near you. They aren’t uncommon here at all. Ponzu is just a seasoned soy sauce used for dipping dumplings~
I’ve never tried making kabobs on my indoor stove top grill. I do happen to love them and with these utensils–well it would be so very easy! Of course I don’t have a dishwasher so I would have to hand wash everything when I was done—–well maybe I will try it. it does sound good!
Can’t wait to do some grilling this summer! I love grilled veggies, and grilled pineapple the most!
We do like a good kabob grilled so these would come in handy. I am loving this recipe as well.
These look like they would work well. I have only used the disposable wooden skewers in the past and I hate trying to work with them.
This recipe for Beef Kabob’s sound amazing and we would really love to have these for dinner. I know my son and husband would really love for me to make these. I will have to get all the items together and give it a try.
Kabobs are a great meal idea because of the dozens of different things you can add to the skewer. You can make it to suit any taste.
Oh your Teri Beef Kabobs recipe looks amazing! I love cooking with pineapple! I have to give these a try!
This recipe looks so good! It would be a perfect Father’s Day meal.
Wow, I love this Review. Wow, very good, I love barbecue skewers , I’ll do , thanks for sharing .
We absolutely love to grill out. This skewers recipe looks so delicious. I’d love to try it!
This would be a great stir-fry sauce as well.
These look really good, and something different! I would like to try this out sometime! Thanks for sharing!
