Firstly, prepare bamboo and wood materials and choose bamboo poles that are free from pests and diseases. Generally, a diameter between 2-3mm is more suitable. If you want to make longer bamboo sticks, you can choose bamboo sticks with slightly larger diameters.
2. Wash and air dry the bamboo poles, cut them into appropriate lengths, depending on the size of the barbecue food you plan to make.
3. Soak the bamboo poles in water, and the soaking time should not be too long, usually 10-20 minutes.
4. Take out the bamboo pole and dry it with a clean towel or tissue.
Next, you need to bake the bamboo poles, which can be done using an oven or stove. If using an oven, evenly place the bamboo poles on the baking tray and place them in the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes. If using a stove, place the bamboo sticks one by one on the fire and bake until the surface appears golden yellow.
After baking, let the bamboo poles cool down, and then you can start grilling the food.
The following points should be noted when making barbecue bamboo skewers:
1. Choose high-quality bamboo poles to ensure that the material is undamaged, dry, and free from problems such as insect infestation,
2. When soaking bamboo poles, do not soak them for too long to avoid them becoming soft and affecting the baking effect.
3. When baking bamboo poles, it is important to control the time and temperature to avoid excessive baking, which may cause deformation, cracking, and other issues
4. When using barbecue bamboo skewers, try to avoid inserting one end of the skewer too deep to prevent it from falling off easily during the barbecue process. Also, be careful not to touch a direct source of fire to avoid burning.
