2m Stainless Steel Wire | Flaming Coals

Model: SSW02

This 2m length of Flaming Coals stainless steel wire is made for tying the legs of a whole animal down to your spit skewer and stitching the stomach cavity closed before it goes over the coals. It's 304 stainless steel, so you've got a strong, food-friendly tie that won't burn through halfway into a long cook.

 Suitable for:

• Tying the legs of a whole animal down to the spit skewer
• Stitching up the stomach cavity before the cook
• Spit roasting over charcoal, where a steel tie holds up to the heat
• Backyard cooks who want a spare length on hand before the big day

 Why spit roasters choose this stainless steel wire

• 304 stainless steel: a grade that resists rust and corrosion
• 2m length: enough to cut into several ties for the one cook
• 1mm diameter: thin enough to bend and twist by hand
• Steel, not string: it won't char or burn through over hot coals
• Two jobs in one: ties the legs down and stitches the cavity shut

It's a simple bit of kit for anyone putting a whole animal on the spit and wanting it to stay put from the first turn to carving time.

 Keeps the animal locked to the skewer

A whole animal that shifts on the skewer is hard to balance and harder to cook evenly. Loose legs flop around with every rotation, and that movement puts extra load on your motor. Tying everything down firmly before you light up is the easy fix.

• Leg ties: wrap the wire around the legs and the skewer, then twist it off so the legs can't swing as the spit turns.
• Cavity stitching: thread the wire through the belly to close the stomach cavity, so whatever you've put inside stays inside.
• Cut to length: snip off what you need for each tie, so one 2m length of stainless steel wire covers the legs and the cavity.

 Made to handle the heat

A spit roast is a long cook, and whatever is holding the animal in place sits over the coals the whole time. That's where a steel tie earns its keep.

• 304 stainless steel: stands up to moisture, fat and marinades without rusting.
• Steel construction: no string to scorch, fray or snap partway through the cook.
• 1mm diameter: easy to work by hand, and it twists off tight with a pair of pliers.

 Inclusions: 

 Cleaning & maintenance

There's not much to it. A few simple habits will keep things safe and tidy.

• Let the spit, skewer and wire cool down before you remove the ties
• Cut the wire off with pliers or side cutters rather than untwisting it by hand
• Mind the cut ends, as they can be sharp
• Check that every piece of wire has been removed before carving and serving

 Optional accessories/replacement parts

• Butchers Twine and Trussing Needle Combo: a handy partner for trussing roasts and smaller cuts
