What are the standard dimensions of a batonnet cut?

• A. Approximately 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch cross-section and 1 inch long.
• B. Approximately 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch cross-section and 2 inches long.
• C. Approximately 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch cross-section and 2–3 inches long.
• D. Approximately 1/8 inch by 1/8 inch cross-section and 4–5 inches long.

Answer: (C)

Batonnet is a long, uniform stick cut used for even cooking and easy handling. The standard size is a square cross-section about 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch, with a length of roughly 2 to 3 inches. This size sits between julienne (which is thinner, about 1/8 inch thick) and larger cuts, providing sturdy pieces that heat evenly and hold up well for frying or roasting. So the best match is a quarter-by-quarter cross-section and a 2–3 inch length. Smaller cuts like 1/8 inch correspond to julienne or brunoise, while much larger dimensions aren’t the traditional batonnet.
