bamboo skewers

Grilling plant sticks

Bamboo skewers are thin, pointed sticks of bamboo used for holding food together during cooking or serving.

They're common for kebabs, satay, and grilled vegetables, and appear at parties holding appetizers.

Unlike metal skewers, they're disposable and inexpensive, though they often require soaking in water before grilling to prevent burning.
