AI Technical Summary
Suspended skewers do not guarantee that food will not slip off during transport from the kitchen to the customer's table, leading to presentation issues and food waste.
A retaining piece, which can be made of metal, plastic, or natural material, is attached to the end of the skewer to prevent food from slipping, and may include a deformable design or a clamp mechanism to securely hold the food in place.
The retaining piece ensures that food remains on the skewer during transport, maintaining presentation and preventing waste, while also indicating cooking methods through color coding.

Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: SKEWER BLOCK PROJECT
[0001] The invention relates to the field of food preparation in catering, in particular dishes comprising suspended skewers.
[0002] Currently, a suspended skewer does not guarantee that the food will not slip off the suspension between leaving the kitchen and arriving at the customer's table. Indeed, the movements of the server can cause the pieces of skewer to slip and fall to the floor, which detracts from the presentation of the food and results in food waste, not to mention the time lost in rearranging the presentation.
[0003] The invention consists of a retaining piece to be placed at the end of skewers to prevent food from slipping off the skewer when it is placed on the suspension.
[0004] The present invention aims to prevent food from slipping and falling onto the plate during transport from the kitchen to the customer's table; by its presence, the skewer block ensures that during transport from the kitchen to the customer's table the food remains on the suspended skewer and does not slip during transport and remains presentable to the customer.
[0005] On the other hand, a color is assigned to this piece (or skewer block), which allows the server who takes the hanging skewer from the kitchen to the customer's table to know the cooking method of the meat.
[0006] Examples of colors of the skewer block • blue for blue baking • red for rare cooking • Brown for a medium-rare finish • black for well-cooked cooking
[0007] The part for holding food suspended on a skewer during transport from the kitchen to the customer's table so that it does not slip, consists of a deformable part attached in a removable manner to the end of the skewer.
[0008] The retaining piece can be elastically deformable.
[0009] The retaining piece can be made of metal, plastic, or natural material
[0010] The retaining piece may include a hole slightly smaller than the skewer section, into which the skewer is inserted and locks.
[0011] The retaining piece may be in the shape of a clamp.
[0012] The invention will be better understood upon viewing the figures
[0013] [Fig.1]: suspended skewer without retaining piece
[0014] [Fig.2]: suspended skewer with retaining piece
[0015] Compared to the drawing [Fig. 1], the current arrangement allows the skewers (1) to be presented suspended, but does not guarantee that the food (2) attached to the skewer (1) will not slip during transport from the kitchen to the customer's table.
[0016] The technical solution provided by the invention or skewer blocker (3) consists of blocking the food (2) so that it does not slip off the suspended skewer during transport from the kitchen to the customer's table.
[0017] The retaining piece can be made of metal or elastically deformable plastic.
[0018] The retaining piece may be in the form of a clamp or simply comprise a hole slightly smaller than the section of the skewer into which the skewer is inserted and locks.
