BAMBOO SKEWERS(BBQ use)
Bamboo skewers are thin, pointed sticks made from bamboo, widely used in cooking.
1. Cooking/Grilling
- Skewering foods: Ideal for kebabs, satay, fruit, or appetizers (shrimp, veggies, marshmallows).
- Pros: Natural, heat-resistant, biodegradable.
- Tip: Soak in water 20–30 mins before use** to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Household Hacks
- Unclogging glue bottles or narrow tubes.
- Testing cake doneness (insert skewer—if clean, it’s baked!).
Buying Tips
- Food Safety: Choose untreated, food-grade skewers (avoid dyed/bleached versions).
- Eco-Friendly: Opt for brands with FSC certification (sustainably sourced).
