Fluff post. Do you like kabobs?

Why is it so much work? I don’t find it any more work than grilling veggies and meat separately on the BBQ. I like kabobs because it’s smaller pieces of meat that cook faster.

Love them!

I like them, I'll eat them, I don't hate them. But, I do agree with you that sometimes it is not easy to slide them off of the stick to eat.

LOVE them! But they’re definitely more work when you put them on skewers and we’re pretty lazy like that when it comes to dinner. SO what we do instead is marinate the cubed meat like usual with pineapple teriyaki and move it to a foil pan where we mix it up with red, yellow, orange and green peppers, pineapple chunks, baby mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and onion. Baste all of that with more marinade and put the whole pan on the grill covered with foil long enough to cook the meat. Scoop it out with a slotted spoon and serve over rice. It’s WAY faster that way and it tastes the same.

I’m with you. They make a nice presentation, good for portion control, and it’s a fun party item, but if it’s just for dinner I usually put the food into a grill pan. Plus, I always forget to soak the skewers ahead of time.

Gosh, I haven't made them in forever!

I used to make steak and chicken ones all the time in the summer. I need to get back into that.

We eat them all the time. Being half-Persian, they are a staple in our home.

I like them. I don’t have a grill so I don’t make them but enjoy them at barbeques. I like beef, red pepper, onion and mushrooms on mine. Grilled veggies are yummy. Maybe I need a little gas grill….

I like them, if they have food on them, that I like to eat. If not, I pass on them.

If I were making them at home, I would use kabob baskets instead of skewers.

Love kabobs. We just grilled them last weekend. We do filet mignon, mushrooms, red & yellow bell pepper, onion chunks and pineapple. I soak it all in teriyaki sauce then alternate it on the skewers. The pineapple rings I put on the grill on a wire rack not on the skewers. Serve it with rice, small salad and garlic bread. YUM!

I too don't get how it is too hard to take it off the skewers. I just slide everything off after it is grilled and put it all on one big tray. We put the tray on the table and serve onto plates from the tray. It is one of my easiest meals to make.

I have had kabobs where the meat just won't move. Maybe the type of wood that is being used makes a difference.

I like the idea of them, and we have a couple of recipes we like. But when I see them outside our house they almost always have bell peppers on them and that ruins the flavor of the surrounding food for me.

I use long steel skewers. Maybe that's why I think it is so easy. 

We got those too and they really do make the whole job easier. BUT we still usually just cook all the stuff in a foil pan.
