Rondelle diagramRondelle: Discs cut straight across a cylindrical vegetable. Size 3–6 mm thick discs. Drawn to scale with a 1 centimetre bar.

How to cut it

  1. Trim the ends and peel if needed.

  2. Hold the vegetable steady with a claw grip.

  3. Cut straight down at even intervals, moving your guiding hand back as you go.

Why this shape

Fast and even; the round shape suits salads, soups and steaming.

Tips

  • If the vegetable rolls, cut a thin strip off one side to make a flat base (you will get half-flat rounds).
