When soaking bamboo sticks, there is no absolute fixed value for the amount of water used, but in principle, you should ensure that the bamboo sticks can be completely immersed in water. Here are some suggestions:
Container selection: First, choose a container that is large enough, such as a cake plate, shallow plastic storage container, or baking tray, to ensure that the bamboo sticks can be completely placed in it.
Water volume control: Add enough water to make the water surface higher than the highest point of the bamboo sticks. To ensure that the bamboo sticks are completely immersed, you can use a heavy object (such as a plate or other suitable object) to press on the skewers to fix the bamboo sticks under water. Doing so ensures that every part of the bamboo stick can fully absorb water.
Soaking time: As mentioned earlier, it is best to plan the soaking time in advance and soak the bamboo sticks in water overnight or for at least 30 minutes. This allows the bamboo sticks to absorb water more fully and reduce the risk of burning during grilling.
When soaking bamboo sticks, make sure that the bamboo sticks are completely immersed in water. By choosing the right container, controlling the amount of water and soaking time, you can effectively prevent the bamboo sticks from burning during grilling and improve the grilling experience.
