要将胡萝卜切丝，请按照下列步骤操作：

• 将胡萝卜的一侧切开，形成一个平面，这样可以使操作时更加稳定，切割更加精确。
• 将未握刀的手的手指放入指套中。用这只手的指关节抵住刀刃，这样可以帮助你有控制地快速切割，而又不会切到手指！
• 将胡萝卜切成条状，使用轻微斩切的动作，刀的活动方向始终从刀头到刀尾。
• 通过把刀拉向身体方向的动作将切好的胡萝卜宽条纵向切成细丝。刀头应朝下，且拉动时刀柄应该稍微抬起。

要切洋葱，请按照下列步骤操作：

• 将洋葱去皮并对半切开。最好是保留中间的梗心，因为这样可以使后续步骤稍微容易一些。
• 将洋葱纵向切开，而不完全切断。记得将未握刀的手的手指放入指套中，以确保安全和适当掌控。
• 使用轻微斩切的动作，刀的活动方向始终从刀头到刀尾。
• 水平方向切 2-3 刀（同样勿完全切断）。
• 然后用斩切的动作横向切成小丁。

 To brunoise a leek, follow these steps:

• Halve the leek.
• Tuck the fingers of your non-knife hand into a claw grip.
• Julienne the leek by pulling the knife towards you, cutting the leek into long thin strips. The tip of the blade should be pointing down and the handle of the knife should be slightly raised as you pull.
• Brunoise the leek by taking a small bunch of the julienne strips and cutting finely crossways to make a fine dice.
• Cut with a slight rocking motion so that the blade is always moving from the point to the heel of the knife.
