Knife Cuts

Pictures above show every knife cut that you will be using in any kitchen setting. First shown is the Batonnet a stick shaped cut with dimensions of 1/4in x 1/4in x 2in. This cut be cut in cubes dimensions of 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 this cut now is called a small dice. The Julienne cut is next and the dimensions are 1/8in x 1/8in x 2in. The Julienne is a thinner version of the first cut you did the Batonnet so by cutting a Batonnet cut in fourths you get a julienne. But we are not done because the Julienne if cut in cubes with 1/8in x 1/8in x 1/8in dimension can be called a Brunoise. But wait there are still to more cuts that we have to go over the medium dice is another cube but with dimensions of 1/2in x 1/2in x 1/2in. Lastly is the large dice which as is a cube by with dimensions of 3/4in x 3/4in x 3/4in. Every one of these cuts will be used in a kitchen setting so now when someone you know asks you how to cut a desired cut you can rest easy now that you know how. So if a someone you know is looking at a recipe and it says now small dice the potatoes and add them to the cream. You know what to do and you can lead a helping hand.
