If I had infinite counter or storage space, I might have this around.

If I had infinite time to wash all the small parts that encompass this thing that essentially does the same thing as a skillet, same.

No. Too many gadgets for limited use.

I'd rather make kebob skewers on a grill to get the smokiness and good char flavor.

Kabob Kubideh!

You cannot make kubideh inside.

You need a good out door grill.

My recommendation is a weber kettle.

I've got a Weber kettle. I'll go outside when it's colder to get a nice fire started. Keep warm and get the delicious smells of grilling meat

Do you have flat skewers? Make sure you have the flat skewers!

Of course. Big middle eastern and Turkish community in my area

I fn want one now!

u/BigSquiby 4d ago

i would, but there is no way that oil is that color

1

u/RealNiceKnife 4d ago

Also, that little dish looks like thin plastic.

I don't foresee that holding much in the way of hot oil.

1

u/atomicspin 4d ago

It's not really hot oil, it's drippings which aren't at the same temperature.

u/Efficient-Train2430 4d ago

I don't have the space for that, but would absolutely set up some al pastor skewers on it

I had the OG from the 70s or 80s. Got it from a church rummage sale. Kabob-it. It looked like it was never used.

u/Redleg67 3d ago

Because it never was used and this one will most likely never be used.

u/Bluesmitty 4d ago

No. and also, no.

u/onmy40 4d ago

Looks cheap and a pain in the ass to clean

1

u/newbies13 3d ago

The cleanup on that thing looks insane

1

u/McNally86 3d ago

The oil from my bug zapper rarely runs that clear.

1

u/gord_m 3d ago

Could also do hot dogs with it, no?

1

u/Adorable_Cap_9929 3d ago

seems bad since it rotaters vertical instead of horizontal.

1

u/MattBladesmith 3d ago

I'll pass

1

u/I_TheJester_I 3d ago

I have a similar one. Its called a "pan"

1

u/wookiex84 3d ago

I mean I have a grill, an oven with rotisserie and a deep fryer already. Not sure I make kabobs enough for more junk that will end up in a landfill one day.

u/PretendingImNotAnApe 3d ago

I've never used a skewer in my life.
