I love grilling vegetables, meats, and shrimp, but I don't like dealing with regular kabob skewers. The pieces of food tend to twist around when you are trying to flip them, and some pieces inevitably fall off. With these baskets, that doesn't happen. The chunks stay in place and are easy to cook on both sides. The baskets are also nice and long, so your hands don't need to get near the fire.
I find that making separate baskets for meat and vegetables works best for me; that way I can start the meat or shrimp earlier or later than the vegetables, depending on the required cooking time. I would recommend buying 4 of these for 2 people; 2 for meat and 2 for vegetables. I find that each basket holds just the right amount of vegetables for 1 person, so you'll need the second one for meat unless you are a light meat eater. You are not going to feed a crowd with 2 or 4 baskets, so you might try them out and then consider buying more for when you have company.
They are coated with a nonstick surface, but I still spray my baskets with a nonstick spray before use. They clean up very easily. I suppose you could put these in the dishwasher, but then the wooden handle would not last as long.
I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because I think there is one thing that could make this item better. If it was designed with a heat-resistant silicone handle, you would never need to be concerned about the handle getting hot (or burned) on your grill, and you could also toss it into the dishwasher without concern for the handles. However, a silicone handle would definitely raise the sale price. Overall, I would definitely recommend these kabob baskets.
