A knife cut that is 1/4 inch slice.

• A. Small Dice
• B. Baton
• C. Julienne
• D. Medium Dice

Answer: (B)

Knife cuts are defined by specific shapes and uniform dimensions. A batonnet is long sticks with a square cross-section about 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch and a length of roughly 2 to 3 inches. Describing a 1/4 inch slice points to that square cross-section, meaning the piece would be a thin, rectangular stick rather than a cube or a thinner strip.

Small dice are 1/4 inch on each side and form cubes, not sticks. Julienne is much thinner, about 1/8 inch by 1/8 inch, giving matchstick-like pieces. Medium dice are larger at about 1/2 inch cubes. So the description fits batonnet best because it specifies a 1/4 inch thickness for the segments that are cut into longer sticks.
