How to Grill Kabobs:

The key to making homemade kabobs is to cut the meat and vegetables

into equal-size pieces. Insert the kabob pieces on flat-bladed metal

skewers as desired. If using wooden skewers, soak skewers in water

for 30 min. before using to assemble kabobs to prevent them from

burning on the grill. When grilling the kabobs, use long-handled

grilling tongs to rotate the kabobs to ensure even cooking on all

sides.
