Dice
Dice
- Cutting foods into uniform cubes: Fine (⅛ inch) Medium (¼ inch) Large (½ inch) Uniform dice ensures even cooking and professional presentation.
Square off the ingredient by trimming rounded edges to create stable surfaces.
Cut into uniform planks, then strips, then cubes for efficiency and consistency.
Use a ruler or guide for precision in fine dice, particularly for garnishes.
Keep knife sharp; a dull blade crushes produce and leads to inconsistent sizes.
Practice consistent wrist motion and finger guide technique for safety and uniform cuts.
