The obvious reason why one should have bamboo skewer in the kitchen is if you want to barbecue anything, it's always handy not just for cooking but also for serving.
The other use is to check your cake is done. Insert it in the middle of the cake, if it comes out clean, then it's done.
I recently enjoyed using my skewer in frying beer-battered fish. It's always a challenge to dredge anything in flour then dipping it in batter without some coating sticking to your fingers. Dish will still taste amazing I bet, but a missing patch is just not pretty to look at.
With a skewer, my problem is solved! The only mark it left is a tiny hole. Aside from it keeps my hand clean, keeps the batter and flour evenly applied, any excess batter drips easily making the coating just perfect!
I will use it then next time I cook tempura... I can't wait!
