How Can I Prevent My Bamboo Skewers from Catching Fire During Grilling?

Bamboo skewers are inexpensive and readily available. But because they’re made of thin pieces of bamboo, they’re flammable and can catch fire during grilling. To prevent this, soak your skewers in warm water for at least 1 hour prior to assembling your kabobs. When using skewers with wooden handles, it’s advisable to hang the wooden handles over the edge of the grill or make a heat barrier with a doubled piece of aluminum foil.
