Instructions: When a recipe calls for vegetables to be coarsely chopped, its a signal that great precision isnt required, as in a sauce or stock that will later be strained.

STEP 1 - Quarter or halve vegetables and cut them into 2- to 3-inch pieces.

STEP 2 - Keeping your guiding hand at the knife tip, lift and lower the knife heel until vegetables are in 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces.
