Test scorecard
The Ajmyonsp Marshmallow Roasting Sticks aren’t too expensive and they’re fairly decent for marshmallows. In bulk they might be my least expensive sticks of all. But the quality isn’t that great, and they’re not the sturdiest either.
- Inexpensive (especially in bulk)
- Color-coded
- Not the sturdiest
- Not the best quality

Features
They pack down small and telescope out to keep you back from the fire. The handle tips are color-coded, and the tines aren’t sharp, so they’re safe for kids.
The Amazon listing says these come with a rotating axle. Mine did not.
Sturdiness
They hold 4 marshmallows without flexing much, but the tines sit close together, so even 3 or 4 is a tight squeeze.
One hot dog is no problem. Any more and they flex a lot. Here they are with 4 hot dogs:
Ease of Use
They telescope easily and hold their extended length firmly, but I have to be careful retracting them. These have the most flex of any of my stainless steel sticks.
Both tines go through the food, so nothing slipped even when I hung it straight down, and nothing spun on the stick.
There’s no rotating axle, but turning the handle works fine. Skewering marshmallows and hot dogs is easy; meat would be harder.
Clean Up
A couple of hours in soapy water left them clean, with no residue or marshmallow goo.
Quality
Beyond “stainless steel”, I couldn’t find the type, or whether it’s food grade, unlike the Type 304 in my Ezire Roasting Sticks. I also found a little rust on the connecting joints after washing them and leaving them wet, though it scratches off.
The wooden handle is smooth and fixed firmly to both the rod and the colored tip.
My pouch had a bit of a chemical smell and feels plasticky for something sold as canvas. Packing the sticks away is easy though.
Pros and Cons
Now, what are the pros and cons, and would I recommend the Ajmyonsp Marshmallow Roasting Sticks?
Very cheap in bulk
Bought 15 at a time, these are the least expensive roasting sticks I own.
Color-coded handle tips
Every stick has a different colored tip, so nobody loses track of theirs.
Easy to clean
A soak in soapy water is all they need, with no scrubbing.
Quality isn’t there
I don’t know what steel this is or whether it’s food grade, there’s rust on the joints, and the pouch smells funny.
The Amazon listing is wrong
It says these come with rotating axles. Mine didn’t.
My least sturdy steel sticks
They have the most flex of any of my stainless steel sets, and at 32.0in they’re on the short side.
Overall recommendation
Consider these if you’re on a tight budget and need a bulk buy. Nothing else I own is cheaper by the stick at 15 a pack.
Otherwise I don’t think they’re a great purchase. The quality isn’t up to par, they’re my least sturdy steel sticks and they’re not that long. There are better options out there, so it’s hard for me to recommend the Ajmyonsp Marshmallow Roasting Sticks.
