Wood and bamboo sticks and skewers: advantages and possible uses

Stick, toothpicks, sticks and skewers: RGmania's review of benefits and possible uses.

Sticks and skewers

More and more venues are paying attention to useful and at the same time decorative details, synonymous with attention to customers and the presentation of drinks, finger food and much more. In this sense, one of the most trendy items is the skewer, but also stick, toothpick or stick, made of different materials but mainly of wood and bamboo, without forgettingsteel and its different shapes; not forgetting the mini wooden clothespins, a pretty product that can find multiple uses: to indicate spices or communications, to leave messages through a card, to hang pictures from rustic strings to indicate certain ingredients.

The bamboo skewers

Bamboo skewers, curved or curly and available at RG Mania in various sizes, are practical and original, for buffets, appetizers and finger foods, not only as an imaginative alternative to classic toothpicks, but also to decorate and make unique mini-portions served. In packages of 144 pieces, compared to the 100 of the products mentioned above, the wooden umbrella stick is itself a simple but still impactful idea to adorn your cocktails with a summery and nice touch.

Uses and benefits of bamboo

Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that adapts easily to all weather conditions; able to grow in very few inches of soil and with limited need for irrigation, it has always been synonymous with quality, safety and reliability.

This is why bamboo is increasingly exploited, not only in areas such as furniture and construction, but also in the world of catering. Bamboo products are lightweight, environmentally friendly and pleasant to the touch, as well as dishwasher safe (but not usable in electric and microwave ovens); their fiber is 'living' and non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally friendly, resistant from -5°C to +70°C.

Hearts, pearls and seahorses.

Dutiful parenthesis to present three other bamboo items: seahorse-shaped toothpicks, fancy and practical at the service of fruit and cold cuts, canapés and appetizers; heart-shaped Fotsy, fancy and with black inserts, for buffets and aperitifs at the service of hearts in love; oar-shaped ones, fancy and with warm tones, again to avoid touching food with your hands and give your restaurant or caterer a neat, clean and refined idea. If, on the other hand, you are looking for the perfect product for parties and ceremonies, here are the wooden pearl toothpicks, in which half of the package is white pearl and the other half black.

The chalkboard toothpicks

We close our review with black bamboo chalkboard toothpicks, available in both oval and rectangular shapes: in packs of 5, they are increasingly indispensable due to their versatility and the fact that they contribute to the design of the venue in which they are used. From decorating plates and beverages to displaying messages that are as useful as they are fun, from displaying prices in food display cases to naming decorative plants, particularly in vogue for demonstrating to guests the use of wholesome ingredients. Also extremely social and therefore ideal for marking short catchphrases or the wifi password, but also bringing back ice cream flavors or other delicacies: in short, you can indulge in their small but fun creativity.
