In Asia, legends recount the birth of man from bamboo, and the grass still holds enormous cultural sway. From paper to building materials, bamboo is renowned for its versatility, strength, beauty, and sustainability. The great thing about these understated skewers is that they fit in anywhere and go with anything: That platter of hors d'oeuvres won't inadvertently look as though it belongs in a tiki lounge or at a child's birthday party. You'll receive 100 of each format, flagged and knotted. The fact that the skewers are not made of plastic but of eco-friendly, durable, and a naturally anti-microbial material is a big plus, as well.

Here's what you get:

  • 100 bamboo flag skewers
  • 100 bamboo knot skewers

Why We Love It

These versatile all-natural skewers can be used both on and off the grill.  Because prawns and shrimp have the tendency to curl up with heat, the Japanese use "noshi gushi," a traditional method of skewering food before cooking.  Briefly soak the hearty bamboo flags in water before threading fish, chicken or vegetables onto the skewers, and putting them on the grill.  We prefer the more delicate looped skewer for spearing martini garnishes, including our current favorites: briny olives, large caper berries or pickled chanterelles.
