A device for holding pieces of food for impaling them with a skewer or skewers, includes a base defining a receptacle divided by partitions into a plurality of compartments for receiving individual pieces of food. The compartments are dimensioned to hold a marinating and/or seasoning material in addition to the pieces of food. Guide openings are formed through both end walls in one form of the invention, and are also formed in the partitions in alignment with the openings in the end wall, for properly locating and guiding the skewers through approximately the centers of the pieces of food. The guide openings are differently shaped and spaced in one end of the device for receiving and guiding differently sized skewers, and removable inserts are provided for adapting the size of the compartments to closely hold differently sized pieces of food. The partitions have a thickness dimension which spaces the skewered pieces of food for circulation of heat substantially all around them and more uniform cooking of the food pieces. Further, the guide openings are dimensioned to simultaneously receive and hold a plurality of skewers for storage.
