To cut into cubes with six equal-sized sides, which cut is used?

• A. Chiffonade
• B. Brunoise
• C. Rondelle
• D. Dice

Answer: (D)

Cube-shaped pieces come from a dice cut. To get uniform cubes with six equal faces, you first create evenly sized slabs, then cut into sticks, and finally cross-cut to form the cubes. This gives pieces that cook evenly and present clean, squared edges. Chiffonade will produce thin ribbons, typically from leafy greens or herbs. Rondelle creates circular slices, like coins. Brunoise is a very small dice, still cube-shaped, but much finer than standard dice. So for six equal faces in each piece, the dice cut is the correct term.
