Wedge
Wedge
- A triangular slice or section of food, created by cutting produce, cheese, cakes, or other items at an angle to form a pointed shape. This cut maximizes surface area for presentation, even cooking, and dipping. Wedges are commonly used for items such as citrus fruits, potatoes, pies, and cheeses.
Use a sharp chef’s knife and stable cutting board for uniform, clean wedges.
Slice from the center outward for symmetrical wedges, especially with fruits and pies.
For potatoes, cut into wedges then soak in water before roasting for crispiness.
Present wedges angled outward on platters for visual appeal.
Lemon or lime wedges are perfect for drinks, garnishes, and squeezing over dishes, but remove seeds before serving.
