Fire Wire Flexible Grilling Skewer Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

My husband and I love to grill up kabobs when the weather is nice! I usually end up doing the prep work and he grills the kabobs. We were given a set of Fire Wire Flexible Grilling Skewers to review along with a Beef and Vegetable Marinade Kit. Normally we just use the wooden disposable skewers when we grill kabobs. I like those well enough, but I always seem to get splinters when using them and I don't like throwing them away. The Fire Wire Flexible Grilling Skewers are great because you can fit twice as much on one flexible grilling skewer as that of our normal wooden disposable skewers. The skewer tips are cool to the touch, so it's easy to remove the meat and vegetables! They are made of stainless steel so they won't rust and they are dishwasher safe! I love the fact that you can marinate the entire kabob. Before I had to marinate the meat before assembling the kabobs because I didn't have anything big enough to accommodate the wooden skewers. If I were to put them in plastic bag, the tips of the skewers would either stick out or puncture the bag causing a mess in my refrigerator. The Fire Wire Flexible Grilling Skewers have a blunt tip, so they won't puncture the plastic bag that you choose to marinate in.
