Flat Metal Skewers for Grilling — Types, Sizes, and What Each One Cooks
What Are Tandoor Skewers? The Professional Metal Skewers for Grilling Inside a Clay Oven
Tandoor skewers are long, heavy-gauge metal skewers for grilling that suspend food vertically inside the clay chamber of a tandoor oven. They go by many names depending on who is buying them: seekh or sheekh (the Hindi and Urdu word for a skewer), kabob skewers, shish kebab skewers, or seekh kebab skewers. Unlike flat-grill or barbecue skewers, tandoor skewers hang from the mouth of the oven so food cooks entirely in radiant heat — never touching a surface. At operating temperatures above 900 degrees F (480 degrees C), fat and marinade drip down the rod, vaporise on the hot coals below, and re-infuse the food with the aromatic smoke that defines authentic tandoori cooking.
Square vs. Round: Why the Shape of Flat Skewers for Grilling Matters
The most important engineering decision in any metal skewer for grilling is its cross-sectional shape. Square skewers (also called flat skewers for grilling or seekh kebab skewers) are the industry standard for any food that must rotate with the rod when it is turned. The flat edges grip the meat and lock it in place — a round skewer under the same load allows heavy pieces to spin loosely while the rod turns beneath them, producing uneven cooking. Round skewers work well for threading whole pieces of food (chicken legs, paneer cubes, prawns) where the point pierces through and the food is held by friction and the stopper disc at the base.
Thickness Determines the Food
Tandoor Morni carries square skewers in three thicknesses, each matched to specific culinary targets. 4 mm thin square skewers are used for delicate items: paneer tikka, mushrooms, vegetables, and small prawns where a thicker rod would crack or tear the food on threading. 6 mm medium square skewers are the restaurant workhorse — chicken tikka, boneless lamb, fish fillets, and mixed tikka platters. 8 mm heavy square skewers are the correct choice for ground meat preparations such as seekh kebab, galouti, and reshmi kebab, where the wide metal surface both supports the molded meat and rapidly conducts heat to the interior so the proteins bind before the meat can slide off. The range also includes a naan rod pair (4 mm, 39 inches) — a hook rod and a scraper rod used specifically for placing and removing naan bread from the clay wall.
Stopper Disc and Hook: The Two Structural Details That Matter
Every Tandoor Morni skewer has two defining features beyond the shaft itself. The stopper disc — a small metal washer welded near the lower end — prevents food from sliding off into the burner during cooking, a design standard on all professional tandoor skewers. The hook or eyelet at the handle end allows the skewer to hang from a rack or be gripped securely with a towel. Both features are welded as standard on every skewer in the AS04 range.
What’s Included — The Grilling Skewers Set
Every Tandoor Morni home tandoor oven and copper tandoor oven ships with a grilling skewers set of 10 assorted skewers — a mix of square and round in professional-grade, reusable stainless steel. Because they are fully reusable, the set handles hundreds of cooking sessions without degrading. Replacement or additional sets are available separately for high-volume caterers and restaurants running multiple rounds simultaneously on the CH02, CH04, CH06, or CS02.
Skewer Length and Tandoor Compatibility
Tandoor Morni skewers are sized to fit the full range of Tandoor Morni commercial gas tandoor ovens: Restaurant Tandoor Oven CH02 32×32, Natural Gas Tandoor Oven CH04 34×34, Middle Eastern Tandoor Oven CH06 36×36, Indian Tandoor Oven T02 32×32, CSA ETL NSF Tandoor Oven T04 34×34, and Punjabi Tandoor Oven T06 36×36. The 39-inch standard length fits all models.
BBQ Accessories & Grill Accessories
Why Choose Tandoor Morni Kebab Skewers — Long, Heavy-Duty, Halal-Ready Stainless Steel
8 mm Square Skewers for Seekh Kebabs
The broad flat blade provides a surface for minced meat preparations to adhere to during cooking — essential for seekh kebabs, shami kebabs, and similar pressed-meat dishes.
Chicken Tikka Skewers — 4 & 6 mm Square
The 4 mm square skewer threads cleanly through paneer, prawns, vegetables, and small cuts. The 6 mm square is the workhorse for chicken tikka skewers — boneless thigh or breast packs onto the flat blade and chars evenly without rotating loose.
BBQ Skewers — Stainless Steel, Commercial Grade
Food-grade stainless steel resists rust, heat, and corrosion at 900 degrees F+. The same BBQ skewers stainless steel specification used in licensed restaurant kitchens — continuously rated for high-volume commercial tandoor service.
39-Inch Length — Full Commercial Load
At 39 inches, each skewer holds a generous quantity of food — enough for a full portion of seekh kebab, a whole chicken tikka order, or a mixed vegetable skewer — in a single pass.
Square Design for No-Slip Grilling
The square cross-section locks food in place so it turns with the rod rather than spinning underneath it — the key engineering reason square skewers are the commercial standard for tandoor cooking.
All Models Compatible
Sized to fit the entire Tandoor Morni range — Restaurant Tandoor Oven CH02 32×32, Natural Gas Tandoor Oven CH04 34×34, Middle Eastern Tandoor Oven CH06 36×36, and Food Truck Tandoor Oven CS02 24×24.
Ideal for Restaurant & Commercial Tandoor Ovens, Caterers
High-volume caterers and restaurants can order additional sets to run multiple rounds simultaneously without waiting for skewers to cool between batches.
Fully Reusable Skewers — Home & Commercial Grade
Made from food-grade stainless steel, these reusable skewers handle hundreds of sessions without warping, pitting, or rusting. Rinse, scrub, and they are ready for the next cook — no replacement cost, no waste.
Instructions
How to Use Your Tandoor Grilling Skewers — Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1 — Soak the Skewers
Before loading food, dunk the skewers in water for 3 minutes. This brief soak prevents the metal from overheating before food is loaded and reduces the risk of the first contact burning the exterior of the food before the interior has started cooking.
Step 2 — Select the Right Skewer and Load Your Food
Thread your marinated meats, vegetables, or seafood onto the correct skewer from the set. Use the 8 mm square skewer for ground meat preparations like seekh kebab; the 6 mm flat skewer for grilling chicken tikka skewers and boneless cuts; the 4 mm square for paneer, prawns, and delicate vegetables; and the round skewer for fish and bone-in pieces. Leave a small gap between each piece for air circulation and even charring.
Step 3 — Grill to Perfection
Hang the loaded skewers vertically from the mouth of your tandoor. Cook times at 900 degrees F+: seekh kebab 6–8 minutes; chicken tikka skewers 8–10 minutes; tandoori chicken (bone-in) 12–15 minutes; paneer tikka & vegetables 4–6 minutes; prawns & fish tikka 4–7 minutes; shashlik / kofta 6–9 minutes. Turn the skewer periodically so all sides are exposed to the radiant heat of the clay walls. Times assume a fully preheated oven — always preheat for 45–60 minutes before cooking.
Step 4 — Serving
Slide the cooked food off the skewer directly onto a serving platter. Use a folded cloth or heat-resistant gloves to grip the handle end — the metal will be extremely hot after time in the oven.
