🔥 Why Skewer Shape and Size Matter 🍢
Not all BBQ skewers are made equal. The shape and thickness of a skewer affect how well it holds food and how evenly it cooks. Flat skewers prevent meat from spinning, while square skewers provide a strong grip on larger cuts. Round skewers are best for marshmallows or smaller, delicate items.
We also use small square skewers for smaller firm cuts like lamb shoulder or leg diced into cubes for shish kebab. 🍖
