Rough Chop Versus Precise Chop

There are many applications where a precise chop is unnecessary; for example, when stewing or blending. That’s when a rough chop is your friend. A rough chop is meant to produce pieces that are similarly sized, but not necessarily identical in shape. The cut is intended to ensure even cooking; it is used when the appearance is less important because the item will not be eaten or presented in the form in which it is chopped. Rough chops are also good for quick salads and pickling.
