Troy High School Culinary Fundamentals Practice Test

Which knife cut is a 1/4 inch cube?

Baton Brunoise Small Dice Julienne

Correct Answer:

Small Dice

Explanation:

When you cut food, the size and shape of each piece determine how evenly it cooks and how it looks on the plate. A 1/4 inch cube is called a small dice. This size gives a good balance between surface area and volume, so flavors distribute quickly and pieces cook at a similar rate. Other common cuts include batonnet, which are long sticks about 1/4 by 1/4 by 2–3 inches; julienne, which are thin matchstick strips roughly 1/8 inch thick and 2–3 inches long; and brunoise, which are tiny cubes about 1/8 inch on each side.
