JSR Ironworks Custom-Made Skewers — Set of 6
Hand-forged specially for Milk Street by a blacksmith in Georgia, these carbon-steel grilling skewers are the best version of this barbecue essential. Shaped one at a time, they’re long enough to accommodate plenty of meat and veggies, but not so long they are cumbersome to work with. The double looped handle at the end is more functional than other skewers—it’s easy to grip, and it holds food in place, plus it can be easily gripped with tongs when it’s time for the skewers to be turned. They’re thick enough to stay straight and sturdy, but they’re not so thick that they break food apart. And they’re quite attractive, too.
