Grill spit guidebook

Barbecuing is extremely popular, especially in summer. If you have the grill good on one charcoal grillthen it takes on the smoke flavor and it creates a taste, as it occurs in any other type of preparation. But not only the type of grill and the right parameters such as the grill temperature, the time, the right coal or the quality of the food to be grilled are important, but also the dosage form is important. Of course, can be at one bratwurstor a chop nothing more. But smaller grilled food, such as vegetables or smaller fillets can only be placed badly on the grill. For this it is often necessary to place a piece of aluminum foil on the grill, so that the food does not fall through the grate. But this is especially in an open grill, the influence of the smoke and thus taste lost. Alternatively, you can put the grill on barbecue skewers and put them on the grill. However, to make grilling fun with such skewers, one should always pay attention to good quality and what they should be used for.

On the purpose it depends

Skewers for grilling or roasting can be used in two different ways. The most widespread is the use as a shashlik skewer on the grill. The other option is to cook with a high quality grill skewer instead of a stick by a campfire. For both variants, it makes sense to choose something different grill skewers. Since a grill is usually quite compact, should also the rotisserie not be overly long. For this purpose, versions with a length of about 40 cm are particularly good because they fit completely, or for slightly longer models minus a handle at the end, on the grill. These skewers are not forked, as they are on the grilland there is no danger that the food could slip off the spit. With the models, which are to be used around a campfire for the use, another design is more meaningful. When handling the spits freely, it can happen relatively easily that grilled food slips or falls off the skewer. Especially with a completely round rotisserie It can easily happen that something larger grilled food follows its center of gravity and always twisted. Therefore, bifurcated skewers are necessary, which are ideally jagged and long enough for sufficient distance to the campfire.

High quality workmanship and safety

In order for grill skewers to fulfill their purpose ideally, they should be processed to a high quality. Of course, disposable wooden skewers are by no means contemporary and also due to the risk of splintering they are not recommended. High-quality grilled skewers are nowadays exclusively made of metal. However, the first differences already occur. There are both versions of stainless steel, as well as those made of chromed steel. Although chromed steel models are at least convincing in terms of shape and size, they are at a disadvantage due to the material. Since the food often with a certain force, whether with the teeth or the cutleryBeing pulled from the spit, it can relatively easily happen that the chrome coating is damaged and the underlying steel rust sets, which is removed with even more force and also dissolves more chrome. However, such high levels of chromium in the diet are by no means desirable. If it is simple skewersThey should have an angular cross-section along their entire length, so that the grilled food will hold better. For grilled pikes for the campfire a bifurcation, possibly a double skewer me about one meter in length recommended and it is advisable to pay attention to a jagged. A wooden handle as heat protection makes sense.
