Store Bamboo Skewers in a Filled Water Bottle for Easy Grilling
Alton Brown is the undisputed king of kitchen hackers , and this one from his Instagram account is simple enough to be genius. The next time you want to grill the kebab, store the kebab in a recycled water bottle. It keeps skewers moist, prevents them from sticking, and squeezes them so you can catch one when you need it.
I did see this when he posted it (a couple of months ago when it was even warmer for grilling), but since many of you say you grill all year round, it wouldn’t hurt to apply this tip now. Plus, it’s just brilliant – just make sure you don’t keep them in there for too long, you don’t want your skewers to start to rot, mold, or anything like that. We would suggest putting them in there during the day (perhaps the night before) when you plan on grilling and using them as soon as possible.
