Carrots: batons or circles?

[medusa]

Depends on the dish and whether I can be bothered putting them on the chopping board. I can do discs without the chopping board.

If your mom didn't cut carrots into circles for you when you were a kid she didn't love you.

... if they are being served as a separate veg, batons every time.

 

Circles always here because it's quicker.

 

I bet you're one of those posh folk who cut your toast into triangles too

I do that, and I'm not posh.

 

Carrots == circles

[Mr_Squirrel]

In casseroles I leave them round, but if they are being served as a separate veg, batons every time.

 

Snap.

 

I think the main reason why batons are preferred when served as a separate veg is that when cut in a circular manner, they resemble the chunder chunks that always appear when you hurl.

I always used to do batons but now I do chunks I can't stand carrots overcooked and find by chopping them in chunks rather than just slicing works best for me.

Batons for dips, for veg we tend to roast them and I do an angled off centre cut that's hard to explain, just twist them round as you cut and slice at one inch intervals, not inline with the previous cut. A good glaze of honey and give em a good roast, I like to do parsnips with them in the same method. Mmmmmmmm.

Yes that's what I do posh chunks if you like.

Batons for salads and stir frys, chunky circles for casseroles etc, slimmer circles for a side of veg

Neither we tend to grate them.
