cutting technique

How to carve

A cutting technique is a method for slicing, chopping, or otherwise dividing material with a blade or edge.

In cooking, cutting techniques include dicing, julienning, and chiffonade—each producing a specific shape and size.

The term applies equally to surgery, hairdressing, filmmaking, and any craft where precision cuts matter: Her cutting technique with the scalpel was flawless.
