I'm obviously very late to this video but thank you so much. Trying to be a better cook for my wife and this helps. :)

Absolutely thrilled to have you here!

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

Yes! Roll cut is my preference. Yours is the first video that shows it. I like that the pieces tumble around and don’t stick together. Plus, as you say, there’s lots of surface area. A good cut for zucchini.

Never heard of the roll cut. Thanks!

[@shanteawuah5458]

The roll cut is pretty. I tried it before finding your video, and my cuts weren't uniform. Ah ha! A quarter turn--that's the secret. Something so simple but worth looking up on RUclips. Thanks for posting.

What kind of knfe is that? When I slice carrots half of them fly across the room.

[@thefrayedapron1542]

you probably need to sharpen your knife and get a bigger cutting board. It's a high carbon, stainless steel chef's knife. It's German and affordable. Definitely come to my blog and subscribe to my email list and I'll send you a full list of what you need. Here's the affiliate link: amzn.to/44mSwgv

5th would be dicing the matchsticks somehow?

[@thefrayedapron1542]

correct. If you cut the matchsticks into little squares, that's called a brunoise cut which is 1/8"x1/8"
