Look for skewers made of bamboo. They should feature a pointy end to make skewering cut-up meats, veggies and seafood a breeze. The better the skewers you start with, the better your overall experience will be. A Grilla Grill is the hottest place to be on your patio or deck, and wooden skewers are not meant to endure high heat for long periods.
Yet if you soak them in water for an extended period, you give them tremendous staying power even when you increase your grill temperature. This makes perfect sense since wood is a porous material. If you have ever dealt with untreated wood expanding after exposure to moisture, you know how absorbent wood can be.
How long should you soak skewers? Pop them into a pan of warm water for at least 30 minutes before using them. You can even soak them in beer or wine. They can start to splinter and get too overloaded with moisture. Make sure all the skewers are submerged in either the bottle or dish and that they are not floating. Keep the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
The wood skewers can soak for longer than 30 minutes. In fact, some recipes may specifically direct you to soak the skewers for longer than 30 minutes. Remove the skewers from the water as you assemble your kebabs.
You can lay the wood skewers on a paper towel to dry slightly while you make your kebabs. Method 2. Spray skewers with non-stick cooking spray to prevent food from getting stuck. Spray each skewer as you take it out of the water, but before you put any food on it. Use any non-stick cooking spray you have. The spray will prevent the meat and vegetables from sticking to the wood skewer, which in turn will help you slide the food off the skewers much easier.
However, do not spray the grill once the barbeque has been turned on. Only spray the grill when it is cold. Combine items on the same skewer that have the same cook time.
To prevent under or over cooked food, only combine food that requires the same cooking time on the same skewer. The easiest way to do this is to put the same item on each skewer. For example, only put chicken on one skewer and only put peppers on another skewer. Vegetable and meat combinations that require the same cooking times are listed below. Beef, onion, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
Pork, mango, peach, and onion. Shrimp, pineapple, red bell peppers, and onions. Bacon-wrapped pork, red onion, and apples. Chicken, zucchini, and yellow squash. Shrimp with boiled potatoes, boiled corn on the cob, and sausage. Cut items the same size so they cook in the same amount of time. Cut the meat for your kebabs into 1—1.
Cut the vegetables into similar sized pieces if possible. For meat that is less than 1—1. Leave a small space between each item on the skewer so they cook evenly. This space will ensure each piece gets the proper amount of heat to all sides and is fully cooked.
The middle of the meat cubes may be cooked, but the ends may be undercooked. Use two skewers instead of one to prevent the food items from spinning. Assemble each kebab as you normally would, with one skewer. The two skewers together will make the kebab lay flat and will prevent the kebab from spinning when picked up. Just prior to cooking, yes, but not before. The oil will make them smell rancid and they will flare up during cooking. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 3. Soaking them in warm water for 10 to 30 minutes before threading will keep the skewers from cooking along with the food.
Continue reading below for a great recipe for Grilled shrimp skewers with charmoula. Cooking is fun — at least it should be! Combine the shrimp and one-third cup charmoula in a large nonreactive bowl or resealable plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Ten minutes before removing the shrimp from the refrigerator, soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent the wood from burning. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread with the lemon slices onto the prepared bamboo skewers. Heat the grill over medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, oil the rack and place the skewers on top. Grill the skewers until the shrimp are puffy, pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately with the remaining charmoula sauce.
