Answers:
Soak the tooth picks in water before you put them in the oven to keep them from burning!. No they won't change the flavor of the food!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

IDK bet you should try it and if it does it would be tight
you could connect like 10 and put a flame proof handle on the end of it and it could
be a flaming sword!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It might burn - you'll want to soak it in water for about five minutes prior to using it in the oven!. It won't leave any flavor residue!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do it all the time but prefer to soak the toothpicks or bamboo skewers in a paste of balsamic vinegar and curry powder!.
That's some good stuff there Maynard!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Keep the temperature under 400 and the toothpick will not burn!. They do not leave a flavor or taste, unless they are flavored toothpicks!.

Yes it will taste like wood, around the toothpick if you dont soak it in water, and it will also burnWww@FoodAQ@Com

well it might so i would probably suggest you soak the toothpicks in water so that they dont risk burning!. hope this helps! =)Www@FoodAQ@Com
