These 6" Chinese bamboo skewers are great for grilling, especially for satay, shish kebabs and skewered vegetables. These skewers are made entirely of bamboo, which is an environmentally friendly alternative to wood. These Chinese bamboo skewers are about 6" long and 2.5-3mm thick. The bamboo skewers packaging might say it contain 100 skewers but in reality it only contain approximately 60 bamboo skewers.
