That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing!

When skewering mushrooms, always use whole ones. Instead of pushing the skewer just through the side of the mushroom head, hold the the mushroom upright and push the skewer straight up through the stem and then through the head, going from the bottom straight up through the top. It will make it more stable and it will cook more evenly.

For the round foods like mushrooms or cherry tomatoes I use two skewers instead of one then they not only stay on but they don't spin when I am flipping them. :) Happy kabobing!

I second Jane. We don't have the thick ones like she does (unless she wants to share?) so I stick them between other things to help hold them.

I usually put them on whole between other items that will keep them in place like peppers, onions or meat. My younger brother, who practices blacksmithing as a hobby, made us a set of skewers that are fairly thick. To keep the food on those, we have to use slightly larger pieces of everything.
