What is a "skewer"?
A skewer is a long, slender utensil, typically made of metal, wood, or bamboo, used for holding and cooking food items, especially meats, vegetables, and seafood, over an open flame or grill. Skewers come in various lengths and designs, ranging from simple straight sticks to double-pronged skewers or even flat-blade skewers. They are commonly used in grilling, barbecuing, and roasting, allowing the food to be cooked evenly and preventing smaller pieces from falling through the grill grates.
