I like the metal ones.

The wood ones burn easy(and yes even soaking them),
Little pieces of wood have came off in the food before(blech!).

I am glad you posted about the metal skewers, I haven't seen them in the grocery store, do you know somewhere I could find them? I've always used wood and never liked the splinter effect! Thanks.

I guess I have never used either? But wouldn't the wood ones burn awfully easy?

I got a package of bamboo skewers at our local hardware store a couple years ago, they have a great housewares & kitchen department. I do soak them, but they don't seem to absorb much water, but it must be enough because they don't burn.

I know Pampered Chef has metal ones, just went to a party, don't remember how much they were though?
