Mise en place
Mise En Place refers to having all necessary ingredients and tools prepared ahead of time before starting to cook. It involves assembling ingredients, washing and chopping vegetables, and ensuring tools and equipment are ready. Proper knife skills and grips are also important for safely preparing ingredients. There are several basic knife cuts including dice, julienne, batonnet, and brunoise which produce uniformly sized pieces.
