Bamboo skewers integrate into the workflow at the prep stage. For grilled items, kitchen staff thread meat and vegetables onto round skewers during mise en place, then store them ready for cooking. The consistent 2mm diameter means skewers pierce food cleanly without splitting, and the length options allow matching skewer size to portion. During service, skewered items go from grill to plate with the skewer as part of the presentation.

For canapés and finger food, boat oar and looped skewers add presentation value while making items easy for guests to pick up and eat. The decorative paddle end of boat oar skewers sits above the food, providing a clean handle. Looped skewers offer a similar function with a curved bamboo loop. Both styles elevate simple bites into elegant appetisers suitable for formal events. Staff can pre-assemble skewered items in advance, then plate or tray them for service.

At the bar, looped skewers are the standard for cocktail garnishes. The loop provides a handle that keeps fingers out of the drink while allowing guests to retrieve olives, cherries or citrus. Bartenders keep a selection of sizes on hand to match different glass heights and garnish combinations. The natural bamboo appearance suits craft cocktail presentation and premium bar aesthetics.

Round skewers are the workhorses of the range. The pointed tip pierces meat and vegetables easily, and the 2mm diameter provides strength for grilling without being too thick. Use round skewers for satay, kebabs, yakitori, fruit skewers and any application involving cooking or larger food items. The 150mm to 300mm length range covers everything from appetiser portions to full meal skewers.

Boat oar skewers have a flat paddle-shaped end that sits above the food, providing an elegant handle and visual interest. They are designed for cold or room-temperature presentation rather than cooking. Use boat oar skewers for canapés, tapas, cheese bites and any application where visual presentation matters. The paddle end also works as a miniature serving surface for sauces or garnishes.

Looped skewers have a curved bamboo loop at one end that creates a handle. They are the standard choice for cocktail garnishes because the loop keeps fingers out of the drink. Use looped skewers for olives, cherries, citrus twists and multi-item garnishes. The smaller sizes (65mm to 90mm) suit short glasses and rocks drinks, while longer sizes (120mm to 180mm) work for highballs and tall cocktails.

Soaking is recommended for direct flame grilling to prevent the exposed ends from burning. Soak round skewers in water for 20 to 30 minutes before threading food. For oven cooking or covered BBQ, soaking is less critical as the skewers are not exposed to direct flame. Boat oar and looped skewers are designed for cold presentation and should not be used for cooking.

Looped skewers are the standard choice for cocktail garnishes. The loop creates a handle that keeps fingers out of the drink while allowing guests to retrieve olives, cherries or citrus. Choose shorter sizes (65mm to 90mm) for rocks glasses and martinis, longer sizes (120mm to 180mm) for highballs and tall drinks. The natural bamboo appearance suits craft cocktail presentation.

Boat oar skewers have a flat paddle-shaped end that adds visual interest to canapés, tapas and finger food. The paddle sits above the food, providing an elegant handle for guests and elevating simple bites into premium presentation. They are designed for cold or room-temperature service, not cooking. Use them for cheese bites, charcuterie, meatballs, arancini and any appetiser where presentation matters.

For standard satay portions, 200mm or 250mm skewers work well. The 200mm size suits appetiser portions with 3 to 4 pieces of meat. The 250mm size handles larger main course portions. For smaller canapé-style satay, use 150mm. For large kebabs with multiple ingredients, use 300mm. The 2mm diameter is strong enough to hold meat securely without being too thick.

Yes. Bamboo is a natural material that composts and biodegrades. Used skewers can go into commercial composting or home compost systems. They will break down over time, though the dense bamboo material takes longer than food scraps. For fastest breakdown, break skewers into smaller pieces before composting. They can also go into general waste where composting is not available.

These skewers have a smooth, splinter-resistant finish that is safe for food contact and handling. Quality bamboo skewers are manufactured to minimise splinters through proper processing and finishing. However, as with any natural wood product, rough handling or damage can cause splintering. Inspect skewers before use and discard any that show signs of damage or rough edges.

Yes. Round bamboo skewers can be used in the oven for roasting and baking. The enclosed oven environment is gentler on the bamboo than direct flame grilling. Soaking before oven use is optional but can help prevent the exposed ends from drying out and darkening. Boat oar and looped skewers are designed for cold presentation and should not be used for cooking.
