Traditionally, arrosticini is made with sheep meat popularized by Italian shepherds from the region of Abruzzo. Of course, you can always use lamb meat instead of mutton. In fact, you can cook your own savoury skewers to perfection on a special arrosticini BBQ grill from Hitek Milano. Pork, beef or chicken meat can be good substitutes and perfect complements to the traditional recipe.

If you are planning to prepare the skewers by hand, you need to have a sharp knife and a broad cutting board to cut your favorite meat (combination of meat and a little fat) into small diced chunks.

The preferred cut in arrosticini BBQ is a cube of about 1-2 centimeters, since you will most likely use wooden skewers. You can soak them in water prevent them from burning during grilling.

In case you are looking forward to cooking lots of arrosticini skewers for an event or even your business, say a hundred, manual preparation would be very time-consuming.

The Milano Cubo will make your grilling experience a lot easier and more fun. It’s simple to use and clean; you just have to stack the meat inside the Cubo, pierce the meat through the cutting slides, and cut it into cubes with a butcher’s knife. A hundred skewers will be ready to be barbecued over charcoals in the snap of a finger.

Out largest grill, the Grande, can grill 24 skewers at a time and has a protective lip to prevent your fingers from burning while rotating your arrosticini, ensuring they cook nicely all around.
