Practice your knife cuts every day.
|

The only way to become proficient at classic knife cuts is to practice!
|

And keep practicing!

|

If you can cut Batonnet (1/4" x 1/4" x 3"), you can cut small dice (1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4"). All you have to do is make one more cut!
|

If you can cut Julienne (1/8" x 1/8" x 2"), you can cut Brunoise (1/8" x 1/8" x 1/8"). All you have to do is make one more cut!
|
|

Squaring off the item you are cutting makes your cuts that much easier.
|

Using a ruler or measuring tape is a good idea if you are not sure of a specific dimension.
|
|

You really need to practice Tourneing potatoes ... it takes lots and lots of practice to do it well!
|

If you practice you can make nice cuts every time.
