Kabob Cooking Tips

Wooden skewers must be soaked in water at least 30 minutes prior to use
Cut meats, vegetables and fruits in similar sizes to allow for even cooking
Do not cut meat, vegetables or fruits too small. They will fall off the skewer if they are too small
Marinate meat in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to grilling
Resist the urge to overcrowd the skewer which will result in uneven cooking
Because the ingredients are cut small, cooking times are generally 8 to 15 minutes depending on what you are cooking
Allow to cook at least 5 minutes prior to turning over the Kabobs which will allow those grill grate marks you want
For Best Results on cooking times, cook each food separately on skewers. All meat on one, veggies alone and fruits alone
Using two skewers instead of one will allow you to flip without the food rolling and not turning properly
Use tongs to flip the skewers
