Here are some tips to make sure skewers don’t burn in the oven:

Soak the bamboo skewer in water before use

Increase the water content of the skewer, immersed in water, the bamboo skewer will absorb a lot of water inside, increasing its water content. Bamboo skewers with high water content are less likely to burn directly at high temperatures.
It will reduce fire risk, due to the increased water content of the skewer, when the skewer is heated, the water will gradually evaporate first. This process lowers the surface temperature of the skewer, greatly reducing the likelihood of fire.

Arrange the position of the skewer

Place the skewer in the center of the oven, away from the wall. This ensures that the heat is evenly distributed and prevents some parts from burning.

If your oven has multiple shelves, you can adjust the height of the skewer appropriately, placing the thick side farther away from the heat source.
According to the characteristics of the oven, adjust the position of the grill so that the skewer is the appropriate distance from the heat source inside the oven. This will prevent the skewers from overburning or undercooking.

Control oven temperature and time

According to the thickness of the ingredients, choose the appropriate oven temperature, which can generally be set between 180-200°C.

Observe the skewer and adjust the oven temperature to avoid burning the surface and undercooking the inside.

Master the baking time, thicker ingredients may take longer to bake. It is recommended to check regularly and turn the skewers in time.
Control temperature and time: Set the appropriate oven temperature and time according to the material and size of the skewer. If the oven temperature is too high or the baking time is too long, the skewers are easy to burn.

Appropriate seasoning

Applying some grease or sauce to the skewers before roasting will create a protective film and prevent the surface from overcooking.

You can also spray sauce or brush oil appropriately during the baking process to replenish moisture and reduce dryness.
Proper occlusion and adjustment

If you find that the surface of the skewer starts to change color too quickly, you can properly cover the ingredients and block the direct heat source.

You can also adjust the height of the grill and pull it further away from the heat source.

Use a baking sheet or net

Use a baking sheet or net in the oven to avoid direct contact with the oven heat source. This will reduce the likelihood of burning the bottom of the skewer.

Pay attention to observe and adjust

Control temperature and time: Set the appropriate oven temperature and time according to the material and size of the skewer. If the oven temperature is too high or the baking time is too long, the skewers are easy to burn.

In the process of baking, it is necessary to regularly observe the changes of the ingredients, find the problems in time and make adjustments.

The baking characteristics of each food material are different, and they need to be flexibly mastered according to the actual situation.

According to the specific situation and the characteristics of the oven, combined with the above suggestions, bake the skewers to ensure that the skewers will not be burned.

Using bamboo as a skewer has several advantages:

Good heat absorption

Bamboo has good heat absorption and can transfer heat to ingredients more quickly, which helps to heat evenly.

Strong heat resistance

Bamboo, as a natural material, will not be burned or deformed at high temperatures and can withstand the high temperature environment during cooking.

Not easy to catch fire

Compared with some other materials, bamboo is less likely to catch fire and burn at high temperatures, reducing safety hazards.

No pollution

Bamboo is a pure natural material that will not release any harmful substances during cooking, ensuring food safety.

Easy to handle

Bamboo skewers are stronger, easier to hold, and more stable when skewering ingredients.

Environmental protection and no waste

the bamboo skewer can be directly discarded after use, and will not produce too much waste.

Low cost

As a ubiquitous natural material, bamboo is low-cost in production and procurement.

In general, bamboo is widely used as a skewer material because it is both economical and environmentally friendly. Of course, some other metal or wood materials can also be used as substitutes, according to the actual situation and personal preferences to choose the appropriate skewer.
