One more vote for them bamboo skewers. You can touch them without burning yourself as they generally stay cool unless you're not cooking them right. If they cook through, well, you need to try again as you overcooked something.

I also like the wooden or bamboo skewers. Have never used the metal ones.

metal ones arent as safe as the wooden ones and that they might rust.

I have the metal ones but I don't use it anymore.

I use bamboo skewers because my family is so lazy. They just don't want to clean the metal skewers.

I have never used skewers before but now I will buy bamboo ones only.
I agree cleaning metal ones could be really irritating.
