skewer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'kitchen rod' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'twisted more?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skewer that I've seen before include "Wooden or metal mat pin" , "Stick on which kebab is cooked" , "Pierce, impale" , "Meat-securing pin" , "Pin for cooking meats" .)
