FAQs
Are these skewers reusable?
While technically they could be cleaned, they are designed for single-use due to their biodegradable nature and potential for splintering after use.
Can I put these skewers in the oven?
Yes, but be sure to soak them first to prevent burning. Place them away from direct heating elements.
How should I dispose of the skewers?
They are biodegradable. Dispose of them in a compost bin or your regular waste disposal.
What is the top knot for?
The top knot provides an easy grip for handling and adds a decorative touch to food presentation.
Can I use these skewers for hot liquids?
Yes, but exercise caution. Bamboo can absorb liquids, so the skewers may become less sturdy over time.
Are the skewers treated with any chemicals?
Eco Connection skewers are typically untreated. Always check the packaging for specific information.
What if the skewers get moldy?
If the skewers get moldy, discard them. Store them in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent this.
Troubleshooting

Handle the skewers gently and avoid forcing them into food. If splintering occurs, discard the skewer.
