This is a wonderful Shish Kabob set! I hate being wasteful and we have a big package of the wooden sticks but I'm tired of them splintering or braking. These metal ones are perfect. They're stronger, stainless, washable, plus I'm not worried about braking them when trying to get tough pieces of fruit or potatoes on which means no hand punctures and no more wooden splinters in food. The bonus rack that comes with them is awesome as well, since I can still cook in the oven when the weather isn't cooperating to run the grill, (or when Jeff isn't here since weather or not, I don't operate the grill. lol). Plus, the way the rack folds up makes it very convenient to store in the silverware drawer. Although the roasted marshmallows I tried in the oven eventually split and fell off (only due to lack of turning), they still got that flavor that made them perfect for Smores! I'm excited that I was able to receive this item at a discount in return for my honest review; but even without the discount, I would definitely buy these again.
