I ordered this for my husband because he frequently complained that it was difficult to prep and transport our kebabs from the kitchen to the grill without the skewers sort of rolling around a lot. I was apparently having an airhead moment when I bought this because I actually did not realize that this rack is intended to go on the grill itself and hold the kebabs off the grates! Yes, you can tell who does all of the grilling in my family!!!
Ok, so on the basis of using this as I intended as a place to put your skewers in preparation for grilling, and as a way to transport them from the kitchen to the grill this works perfectly. My husband is able to carry a dozen+ skewers on this, without them rolling around or rolling off onto the floor. He lays down the initial six skewers, placing them into their notches on the racks, and then he can begin stacking additional skewers in between those, building up a "pyramid" shape by putting additional skewers in between each gap. This works great for us, and we don't have skewers trying to escape!
Now my husband unlike me understood on sight exactly how this item was supposed to be used: as a means to grill your skewers without laying them on the grates of the grill. So he did try using it in that manner with a batch of Shish Tawook chicken we were grilling on skewers. He did not feel this item was well-suited to its actual intended purpose. He noted that it's actually kind of difficult to remove it from the grill with the skewers still in their grooves... that it's awkward to transport after it has been heating up on the grill. He also was not pleased with the quality of actual grilling the meat received when suspended on this rack. He ended up taking each skewer off and placing them directly on the grates again.
This item receives four stars from me because it works perfectly as "I" intended it to be used and so I'm pleased... but seems to poorly execute it's actual, stated intention and the function it was actually designed to fulfill. In other words you'll love it if you want a rack to move skewers from the kitchen to the grill... but I'm not sure you'll be pleased with it if you actually try using it ON the grill.

The skewers are flat, but not wide enough. Some foods (like tomatoes) will still spin.The rack is not "deep" enough. Any food chunks over an inch, will sit on the grill, not the holder.
Otherwise, it works well.

I saw this product on line and liked the manufacturer's marketing bluff, hurried to Cabela's in Indiana. The item was not on display so I figured for the price it's worth a try, got it home made my kebabs and got the grill nice and hot. I assembled the meat on the skewers and then onto the rack.Now I am watching the meat stick to the grill, tried to turn it but the meat keeps on spinning , I tried to use tongs and forks etc. but nothing is working. Finally I had to face reality and take the skewers off the rack and put them directly on the grill.
The rack itself is flimsy and cheaply made, the rack lacks depth , it allows the meat to contact the grill at all times , the skewers are not flat enough to stop the meat from turning. cheap , cumbersome and toy like gadget.
Honest reviews on GrillPro 41338 Stainless Steel Shish Kebab Set
Purchased directly through Amazon, I never inspected this product in a retail store. The first thing that struck me when I opened the package is how thin the metal it is. Closer inspection suggests it isn't stainless at all or a VERY low grade of stainless. As someone with a materials engineering degree, the first thing I checked was to see if is non-magnetic. This metal in the GrillPro 41388 is HIGHLY magnetic, which is possible for some times of stainless steel but unlikely for a consumer product like. Moreover, I can't find the word "stainless" anywhere on the box.My first use of the kabob rack at a birthday party was particularly cumbersome because of the lack of a locking mechanism between the two folding halves. If you are prepping large kabobs,I would never take this kabob rack loaded to the grilling area. You may drop your painstakingly created masterpieces.
My advice: avoid this product entirely no mater what your budget is and get a better rack that is one piece and has handles.
Cons
Thin, low quality metal
Folding and cumbersome
No locking mechanism between the folding halves

The skewers work great. The frame that holds the skewers don't do a thing. The skewers, with food loaded on there, will just freely rotation by themselves so the heavy side is towards the grill. I ended up not using the frame holder and just put the food directly on the grill and that was way easier to manage.Just buy the skewers but not the frame.
