Abstract: Rotating skewer racks are disclosed. The racks include a front plate and a back plate, with such plates being connected through a pair of interconnected rods that are configured to collapse (to move the plates closer together) and to expand (to move the plates away from each other). The racks are configured to allow the front and back plates to exert a desired amount of compression force on food that is attached to the skewers. In addition, the racks include a rotating handle and a sliding skewer track, which are operably connected to each other through a gear connected to the handle. When the handle is rotated, the handle and its connected gear are configured to cause the sliding skewer track to move, which in turn rotates a set of skewers that rest on and make contact with the top side of the sliding skewer track.
