KEBAB SKEWERS

Pack the food tightly on the 
skewer, this helps ensure all the 
food rotates together. DO NOT 
twist the skewer as you spike the 
food on otherwise the food will 
not rotate with the skewer. 

Food on kebab skewers should 
not exceed 5cm (2”) in diameter 
(otherwise it will hit the food on 
the skewer next to it!).

To ensure perfect cooking leave 
approximately 5cm (2”) space 
between the ends of the skewer 
and the food (i.e. ensure all 
the food is over the lit charcoal 
embers!).

KEBAB SKEWER DETAILS

HOW TO USE THE KEBAB SKEWERS

Place food on the kebab skewers following the directions below (Kebab Skewer Details). Insert the 
end of kebab skewer into one of the holes on the mechanism located at the back of the barbecue 
pit.
Rest the rounded section of the skewer in the groove directly opposite the mechanism.
Once all skewers are in place turn the power on at the rear of the BarbeSkew.
PLEASE NOTE: The skewers move slowly and may appear not to be moving when the motor is running. 
They are intended to turn slowly – so long as the food is turning then it is not burning.  To prove to 
yourself they are turning, hold onto the resin handles of one of the kebab skewers and you will 
gradually feel it turning.

EXTRA TIP: Mushrooms make great end stops and retain all their moisture so when you 
bite into them the mushroom taste explodes in your mouth.
