Bamboo Teppo Skewers

Bamboo teppo skewers, also known as gun skewers, are a type of bamboo skewer that is widely used in Japanese cuisine for grilling or roasting food. These skewers are named after the Japanese word "teppo," which means gun, because they resemble the shape of a gun barrel.

Bamboo teppo skewers are made from bamboo, which is a strong and durable material that can withstand high temperatures without bending or breaking. They come in various lengths and thicknesses to accommodate different types of food and cooking methods.

One unique feature of bamboo teppo skewers is their flat shape, which helps to prevent food from rotating on the skewer during cooking. This allows for even cooking and prevents uneven charring or burning.

Bamboo teppo skewers are commonly used to grill or roast meat, seafood, and vegetables, and they can also be used to make yakitori, a popular Japanese dish made with grilled chicken skewers.
