This clue might be a double definition.

'kebab stick' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'twister?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skewer that I've seen before include "Spear" , "barbecue implement?" , "Metal stick (that's more awry?)" , "more asymmetrical?" , "Transfix" .)
