Summer Splash! Fire Wire Review & Giveaway




I love making Shish Ka Bobs. I love them with veggies, meat, or chicken. The variety is endless and they are always a big hit. With summer coming, and the grill out, I have been making them more and more often. They are simple and quick to make and a great meal for the whole family. If you are a fan of Shish Ka Bobs, then you have to check out the Fire Wire. These flexible grilling skewers are making it just a little bit easier to make the perfect Shish Ka Bobs.



For my review, I received two of the Fire Wire Flexible Skewers. They are different from regular grilling skewers because they are curved wires, instead of straight pointed metal. This makes it easy to marinate your food while its still  on the skewers. They bend and twist in any direction. So you can twist them to fit into a bowl of sauce, and then take them out and straighten them for the grill. It also gives you more space on the grill because you can space the Fire Wires closer together. When the food is done cooking, its helps to make a great presentation because you can position it on the plate.  The food slides off the wires easily when you're ready to eat, and they are also dishwasher safe. So clean up is easy too.



If you love to grill, the Fire Wire Flexible Grilling Skewers are a must have. Once you use them, you will never be able to go back to regular skewers again. If you would like to try out the Fire Wires for yourself, visit their website to find a location near that sells these amazing products. For more great ideas on how to use the Fire Wire Skewers, be sure to check out Rita's review at One2Try.

I learned of a neat feature that the firewire skewers have... after desired temperature is reached, remove tip from fire and hang it outside the grilling surface. Within 2 minutes, the tip will cool to ambient temperature, allowing griller to use it as a handle for turning and removing the skewer.

i learned Bring grill to desired temperature. The Fire Wire® skewers go straight from the marinade to the grill. For ease of use, thread the tip of the skewer through the loop to form a circle out of the food. Leave tip inside the grill until it reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit for sanitation.

I learned that, after using, simply coil the wire and place it in the top shelf of your dishwasher.

I learned that they received the goodhousekeeping vip award With Fire Wire® you do not have to touch the food twice; simply marinate in a bag on Fire Wire® and place the food on your grill.

Thanks for the giveaway...Fire Wire recommends skewering like foods together (meat with meat, veggies with veggies) due to differing cooking times.
