Vegetable cutting

For many vegetables and fruits, the cut does make the flavor. Cuts affect cooking process, texture and aroma — and perhaps something even less tangible.This is referred to as "cutting in." The term means to work the two elements together with two knives or a pastry blender to the specifications of the recipe. You will often see the direction to "cut in" in recipes for biscuits, scones, and pie crusts to obtain flakiness once baked.
