Features

They pack down small and telescope out to keep you back from the fire. The tines are sharp, so they come with red tip protectors.

Every handle is a different vibrant color, and every stick has a rotating axle for an even roast.

Sturdiness

These are genuinely heavy duty. They hold 4 hot dogs without much flex at all:

4 marshmallows is no trouble either. The tines are far enough apart to take 2 marshmallows on each.

Ease of Use

They telescope easily and hold their extended length firmly, though some sticks were stiffer than others.

Both tines go through a hot dog, so nothing slipped even hanging straight down.

Marshmallows slipped a little. You can see the goo. Only 1 tine goes through each one, and the thick tines conduct more heat.

The rotating axle makes turning them for an even roast effortless, and I saw no spinning on either food.

The tines are sharp, so skewering hot dogs and marshmallows was easy. I’d expect meat to be fine too.

Clean Up

A couple of hours in soapy water left them clean, with no residue or marshmallow goo, and I didn’t even have to scrub.

Quality

These are sold as non-toxic stainless steel, but I couldn’t find the type or whether it’s food grade. I found no rust after soaking mine and leaving them wet.

The handles are smooth wood painted in 6 colors: red, yellow, blue, green, purple and black. They aren’t fixed to the rod, which is what lets the axle spin the stick.

Pros and Cons

Now, what are the pros and cons, and would I recommend the Sumpri Marshmallow Roasting Sticks?

The best-looking sticks I own

6 vibrant handle colors, and nothing else in my collection comes close.

Seriously sturdy

4 hot dogs with hardly any flex. These roast anything you put on them.

Turning them for an even roast takes a thumb.

No information on the steel

I have no idea whether it’s Type 304 or food grade. I’ve used these plenty of times with no red flags, but I’d like to know.

Overall recommendation

The Sumpri Marshmallow Roasting Sticks are outstanding on sturdiness and get the job done no matter what you’re roasting. The handles are high quality and, honestly, the best looking sticks I own.

If you can look past having no information on the type of steel beyond non-toxic, these are some really great quality roasting sticks.
