Bamboo Skewers 30cm - Grill Fanatics
- Bamboo: light, strong and from a fast-growing plant
- 30 cm keeps your hand well clear of the glowing coals
- Full skewers for a table with plenty of eaters
If you are cooking for a full table, the moves by the fire count. Laying and turning four long skewers is quicker than twelve short ones, and with 30 cm bamboo skewers your hand also stays further from the glowing coals when you turn them.
What this length works for
The extra length gives room for a full portion per skewer: satay, chicken pieces, vegetables, prawns or fruit, all on one stick. If you lay the skewers diagonally across the grate of the kamado bbq, the ends also stay outside the fiercest part of the glow.
- Length 30 cm, room for a full portion per skewer
- Bamboo: light yet sturdy enough for heavily loaded skewers
- Hands stay further from the heat while turning
- Soaking in water keeps the ends intact above the coals
How to work with them
Put the skewers in water half an hour beforehand. Thread tightly, with the pieces against each other, so everything cooks evenly and nothing spins loose. Grill directly over the coals on high heat, or more gently with a deflector if you want to glaze with a marinade in between. After one session by the fire the skewers are discolored and spent, so use them once. For smaller bites and appetizers check the 18 cm bamboo skewers.
