What happens if you do not soak bamboo skewers
If you do not soak bamboo skewers before using them over a heat source, such as a grill or campfire, several things can happen:

Increased Risk of Burning:

Bamboo skewers are made of wood, which is flammable. Without soaking, the skewers may catch fire more easily, especially if they are exposed to direct heat for an extended period.

Charring and Destruction:

Even if the skewers don't catch fire, they may become excessively charred. This not only ruins the appearance of the skewers but may also transfer unwanted burnt flavors to the food being roasted.

Potential for Food Contamination:

Charred bamboo skewers may release small particles of carbonized wood into the food, which could potentially be harmful if ingested.

Reduced Usability:

Once bamboo skewers become charred or burnt, they may become brittle and break easily, making them difficult to use and potentially hazardous.
To avoid these issues, it's recommended to soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. Soaking helps to saturate the wood and make it less likely to catch fire or burn quickly. Some people even recommend soaking skewers overnight for the best results. Additionally, when using soaked skewers, be sure to keep them moist by occasionally dipping them in water or leaving the long edges hanging over the edge of the barbecue to prevent direct heat exposure.

In summary, soaking bamboo skewers before use is essential to prevent burning, charring, food contamination, and reduced usability.
