100 Bamboo Skewers

Didn't realize how fast we'd burn through skewers until we hosted a backyard party, so the 100-count pack saved me a mid-grill run to the store. The bamboo holds up fine on the barbecue without splintering, and they're thin enough to thread cherry tomatoes and chunks of chicken without splitting.

Satay night for the family and these held up way better than the flimsy ones I used to grab at the supermarket. Pointy enough to thread chicken without shredding it, and 100 in the pack means I'm not rationing sticks.

Threw a kebab night for eight people and barely made a dent in the pack of 100. None of them splintered or snapped, even with chunks of pineapple and pepper threaded on.
