#Chef Dan Makes Kabobs with the Cave Tools Kabob Set!

#Chef Dan recently had the opportunity to test CaveTools Kabob Set at the Elkhorn Inn, and he (and I) were More than pleased with it- it is truly well-designed, and an excellent and EASY way to make perfect kabobs every time! He'd never actually used a "Kabob Set" before- only skewers, placed on the grill, with all the mess that entails: meat and veggies falling off the skewers into the coals, food getting stuck on the skewers or stuck to the grill, and the kabobs getting unevenly cooked... and so he made kabobs very infrequently. This great set made it MUCH better and SO much easier- and now he's using it all the time and getting "creative" with his kabobs! AND CAVE TOOLS GIVES A LIFETIME SATISFACTION GUARANTEE ON THEIR PRODUCTS! How cool is that?!

This is how the set looks when it arrives- you get a nice, heavy grooved stainless steel rack that sits the perfect height off the grill, and 5 good, sharp, flat 12" skewers that fit perfectly onto the rack- and each skewer has an attached sliding disc that makes it SO easy to slide the kabob off onto a plate!
You also get a card with a link to tons of great recipes AND video tutorials that will truly make you a "Grill Master"!

 The first Kabob Chef Dan made was Grilled Chicken  & Veggies. First he cut up the chicken into chunks and marinated them in white wine and lemon juice over night in the fridge- the bowl of marinated chicken chunks is on the right of the photo.

Then he cut up red bell peppers and onions.
He slid the chicken chunks, pepper and onion slices, and cherry tomatoes onto the Cave Tools kabob skewers and set them on the rack...

The flat skewers are made so you can easily rotate them and they will stay in place- so you never get kabobs that are only done on one side, or are burnt on one side and raw on the other!

You can serve the kabobs on the skewers...

Or easily slide them off, thanks to the little disc!

The second kabob he made was Vietnam-Style Pork Kebobs, using a delicious, spicy marinade he often uses for grilled pork chops. He marinaded chunks of pork tenderloin in a mixture of chopped garlic and fresh ginger, Chinese Five Spice powder, turmeric, coarse-ground Vietnamese black pepper, cayenne and Vietnamese hot pepper, a bit of Kosher salt and sugar, vegetable oil, and soy sauce, overnight in the refrigerator.
An hour before grilling he added freshly ground Star Anise to the marinade.
Then he cut up fresh pineapple into cubes, and slicd an onion, and slid the marinated pork chunks, dates, pineapple and onion slices onto the Cave Tools skewers.
The Cave Tools skewers and rack allow you to line everything up nicely and see how they will look, and the rack holds them in place on the grill so things don't fall into the coals, and you can turn them easily so everything gets evenly grilled!

This time he turned the skewers the long way, so that the little Weber Grill would totally close...

He basted them with the marinade while they grilled...

In short, the Cave Tools Kabob Set is an EXCELLENT buy. It's well made, sturdy, and stands up to repeated use, washing (it's dishwasher safe, too), and grilling, and the skewers don't get bent out of shape. The grooves in the rack hold the kebob skewers steady and just the right distance apart, and the right height from the grill, too. You can use it in the oven, too! The set makes it really easy and fast to make five perfect kabobs at a time, and once cooked, they slide off the skewers easy and fast. We love ours!

We have been truly impressed with all the Cave Tools we have used at the Elkhorn Inn- their Smoker Box, BBQ Tongs, and now their Kabob Set. Cave Tools are truly superior to any other grilling and BBQ products we've used- and the price is right, too!
What great kabobs are you going to make this summer with your Cave Tools Kabob Set?? 

#Chef Dan uses THE best #BBQ Grill Tongs- from Cave Tools! #FathersDay Gift Idea!

Chef Dan, Cave Tools Grill Tongs, Ribs and Pastrami!

Smokin' Chef Dan is truly a Master when it comes to grilling and smoking meat- his herb-crusted smoked ribs and lamb chops have received rave reviews from Elkhorn Inn guests! He recently had the opportunity to try the Grill Tongs from Cave Tools CaveTools.com and they were truly THE best Grill Tongs he's ever used! I honestly didn't think there'd be all that much of a difference, or that I'd seriously be singing the praises of a pair of Grill Tongs, but these are SO much better- heavier, well-weighted, and well-designed- so Very much more well made than anything we've ever used- that here I am, writing a love song to Cave Tools Grill Tongs! LOL

Cave Tools Grill Tongs vs Wally World's flimsy ones: NO COMPARISON!

Chef Dan Spray-Mopping his smoking meat...

Dan used his new Cave Tools Grill Tongs to make herb-rubbed smoked riblets and smoke a pastrami on Memorial Day Weekend, and the results were excellent! It was easy for him to turn over large, heavy pieces of meat, nothing fell off the tongs, and they didn't bend or slip or break; There is simply no comparison between Cave Tool Grill Tongs and the flimsy, crummy ones you get at Wally World!



One of the really excellent things about Cave Tools products is that they offer a LIFETIME SATISFACTION GUARANTEE! If at any point you are unhappy with your BBQ Tongs you can return them to Cave Tools for a full money-back refund! Yes, they honestly take Customer Service That seriously!

Chef Dan also used his Cave Tools Grill Tongs to make Rum-Marinated Steaks on our small Weber Gas Grill, for a Caribbean Dinner at the Inn, and they worked great, on those, too!

What great BBQ or grill recipes do YOU have that you could use a great pair of grill tongs for??? And what great Dad do you know who could be enticed into grilling something fabulous if he had a great new set of heavy-duty Grill Tongs??! My idea of a GREAT Father's Day Gift:  Cave Tools Grill Tongs, (or even better- their 3-piece BBQ Tool Set, which includes these great tongs), AND a rack of ribs (or a rack of lamb chops, or salmon fillets, or burgers..) and a bag of charcoal!  And their BBQ Grill Light for grilling in the dark! :-)
