Crinkle-Cutting

Preparation and Flavor Development Techniques

Crinkle-cutting is a slicing technique that leaves a corrugated, ridged surface on the cut food, done to enhance its texture or mechanical properties. When applied to French fries, for example, the corrugated surface allows the fries to absorb more cooking oil and better retain dipping sauce.
