Answer 1

Soaking them in water is the best way, although I use how burnt the stick is to tell if they are done or not :-)

If you really like to kabob,get you some metal skewers.I soak mine in hot water over night in the fridge.Why not just leave some in there all thru the Summer?I do,we kabob for the two of us.Thanks for 2.

I bought a barbecue set that came with metal sticks with wood handles that stuck out the side of the grill so burning was not a oroblem, but when I had the wood sticks, I soaked them in water first

You Soak the Skewers in Cold water for 30 min.-1 hour before you use them.

Optional...
Once you put the meat/veggies on the sticks; you can wrap the exposed edges with thin strips of aluminum foil if you like.

Soak the sticks in water, stock or juice for at least an hour right before using. If you're all ready to cook, wrap the ends in foil.

Soak them in water for a couple of hours, and next time you are shopping get some of the metal ones with wooden handles.

soak the skewers in a big tall glass of water for at least an hour before you put the food onto them. sometimes they float so i often tie them together to keep them from floating too much.

soak the stick the night before
Or better boil a tall jar the sticks fit in and add boiling water and the whole package of sticks for future use...
