Some grilling experts tell you to soak wooden skewers for at least half an hour before adding the food.
Others—including most of our grillmaster pals—say it doesn’t make a difference. The ends will burn regardless.
Here’s an easy trick to stop the ends from burning:
Lay two strips of foil on the grill, underneath the ends of the skewers. The body of the skewers remains exposed to open flame.
The foil prevents the ends from burning. How easy is that?
Some of our friends wrap the tips of each skewer in foil. If you find that it’s too hard to turn the skewers while keeping the tips on the foil strips, consider that as an alternative.
