A skewer is a thin metal or wood stick used to hold pieces of food together. They are used while grilling or roasting food, and in other culinary applications.

Metal skewers are typically stainless steel rods with a pointed tip on one end and a grip of some kind on the other end for ease of removing the food.

Non-metallic skewers are often made from bamboo; however, any suitable wood may be used.

Always soak wooden skewers in water for a few hours before grilling. This helps to prevent them from burning during the cooking process.
