How do you grill skewers without burning?
Brush your kebab pieces with olive oil (or vegetable oil) before placing them on the grill. Since you are turning your pork cubes and vegetables, remember to leave the skewers about the same time on the grill for each side. Grilling consistently over medium heat is better than over high heat.
How long do you soak bamboo skewers?
While 30 minutes is the minimum, it’s best to plan ahead and soak your bamboo skewers overnight in water. It takes a long time for the skewers to soak up the water, but well-soaked skewers, which are slow to give up their moisture, will last longer on the grill without burning up.
What temperature do you grill skewers at?
Place the pork tenderloin cubes and vegetables on skewers, about 4-6 pieces per stick. Prepare the grill for direct grilling over medium heat (350-450 degrees) and allow it to preheat for 10–15 minutes. Brush the cooking grate clean. Grill the skewers over direct medium heat turning once or twice.
