Skewers

Formed sticks with points on each end used to skewer together chunks of meat, vegetable and seafood in order to make kebabs.

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least half an hour before using. You can alternatively soak the skewers in half water, half juice to impart some of the flavour in what you are cooking. You could try other flavours such as soy sauce, barbeque sauce, beer, liquid smoke, wine, etc.

If you are really organized, you can soak them overnight. Soaking won't keep them immune from burning forever, thought, because at some point they will dry out and start to burn, so plan to use them with food that cooks quickly. If what you are cooking requires a longer time, use stainless steel skewers.

You can also use wooden Skewers in the oven, toaster oven, or under your broiler or grill. Soak them first before using as you would for the barbeque.

When you are using metal Skewers, you'll find that food slips around less on flat ones than it does on round ones.
