Types of Kabob Sticks

Kabob sticks come in a variety of styles and material and are known as skewers. Examples include thin metal or wooden sticks they are often loaded with meats and veggies and grilled on the BBQ.

Why is it called shish kebab?

Shish kebab is a signature Turkish dish and combines the words skewer and roast meat. Other cultures have different names such as brochettes in France which translates as skewers. In Portugal the name espetadas are beef shish kebabs which are marinated in a delicious wine roasted over an open fire.

Should Kabob Sticks Be Soaked?

If you are grilling your kabobs you should soak them for about 30 minutes before placing them on the grill. However, bamboo sticks are best soaked overnight. Bamboo sticks are best to use to help prevent your kabob or skewers from burning.
