Easy Skewer Recipes

How To Soak Wooden Skewers

A little trick that will help to keep your wooden skewers from burning!  Typically package instructions for wooden skewers will state to soak them for about a half an hour before using. Soaking does work, but depending on your grill and how long the skewers will need to cook, some times they still burn. This can be frustrating because then what happens? Your food falls through the grill or becomes a stir fry! 

To help prevent burning further, freeze wooden skewers.  Place skewers in a shallow pan and cover with water.  Place the pan in the freezer until a thin layer of ice forms on the top, about 30 minutes. Remove from the ice water, use immediately for one of these recipes below. Enjoy!
