Avoid soaking for a long time:
Although soaking helps remove chemical residues and enhances toughness, soaking for a long time may cause the bamboo skewers to soften too much and break easily during barbecue.
Check the quality of the bamboo skewers:
Check the bamboo skewers for cracks or damage before use to ensure that they can remain stable during the barbecue process.
Use in time:
The soaked bamboo skewers should be used as soon as possible to avoid long-term storage that may cause water evaporation or bacterial growth.
Alternatives: If conditions do not allow soaking of bamboo skewers, consider using metal skewers or wooden skewers (specially treated to prevent burning) as an alternative.
