Batonnet (Stick Cut)

Not all cuts are created equal. Knife skills are everything - Chef Anthony

What It Is

A thicker stick cut, often used for vegetables and fries.

Standard Size:


  • 2–3 inches long
  • 1/4 inch × 1/4 inch (6 mm × 6 mm)

Why It Matters

Provides structure and even cooking, especially in roasting or frying.

Step-by-Step Method

  1. Square off the ingredient.
  2. Slice into even planks.
  3. Cut into sticks.

Common Mistakes

  • Uneven sizing
  • Not squaring the ingredient first

Chef Insight

This is the foundation for many other cuts, including medium dice.
