How long should I marinate pork for kabobs?

Marinate pork for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate 2-4 hours. Avoid marinating longer than 24 hours as the meat can become mushy.

What temperature should pork kabobs be cooked to?

Pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest period for food safety.

Can I use frozen pork for kabobs?

Yes, but thaw completely first and pat dry before marinating. Frozen pork should be thawed in the refrigerator overnight.

How do I prevent vegetables from burning on kabobs?

Cut vegetables into similar sizes as the meat and choose vegetables with similar cooking times. Pre-cook harder vegetables like potatoes if needed.
