CUTTING METHOD
A cutting method is a technique for precisely cutting food, typically vegetables, to achieve a
specific size, shape, and uniform texture for even cooking and presentation. Common methods
include dicing (cubes), julienne (thin matchsticks), slicing (thin, flat pieces), and chiffonade
(ribbons of leafy greens). For plant propagation, a cutting method involves taking a severed part
of a parent plant to grow a new one.
