Cooking Tips: Skewers

Order online or in our store!

Summertime means lots of meals cooked over the grill. And with the variety of fresh vegetables available right now, almost everything can be cooked over the grill. Skewers can help you stabilize cut up vegetables and meats so they don't fall through the grates of your grill. Use two skewers instead of one to stabilize the food even more. For metal skewers, check out twisted or square skewers to help keep your food in place and prevent slipping. If you prefer wooden skewers, keep the foods closer together so there's no space between them. You'll also want to soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading on the food to keep the skewers from catching fire on the grill. And to keep from over-cooking one food and under cooking another, put foods with similar cook times on the same skewer.
