Stainless-Steel Sliding Skewers $36
If you enjoy grilling kabobs, you know what a challenge it can be to remove cooked food from the skewer. That's what makes these Stainless-Steel Sliding Skewers from William Sonoma so fabulous. Forged with the precision of fine cutlery in a square shape that prevents food from spinning when the skewers are turned, they also have a sliding disc that makes it easy to remove cooked foods - genius!
