wooden skewer

Meat-threading cooking stick

A wooden skewer is a thin, pointed stick used to hold food together during cooking or serving.

Skewers thread through chunks of meat and vegetables for kebabs, secure rolled items, or serve as handles for appetizers.

The wood is typically bamboo or birch, meant to be discarded after use: She threaded the shrimp onto wooden skewers for the grill.
