Tips
- If using wooden skewers, we recommend soaking them for about 30 minutes before grilling. Soaking your skewers can prevent them from catching on fire, which ultimately leads to all your meat and veggies falling to the bottom of the grill.
- For soaking, you can use wine as an alternative to the water, which will give your meat and vegetables another flavor element.
- An alternative to soaking skewers would be to use stainless steel or metal skewers. They do not require any soaking and can be reused.
