A bias cut refers to slicing foods at an angle rather than perpendicular to its natural shape or grain. This technique is often used for aesthetic purposes, as it creates elongated and visually appealing slices. Additionally, bias cuts can alter the texture of certain foods, such as meat or vegetables, making them more tender or providing a different sort of mouthfeel.

Unlike many of the cuts on our list, a bias cut doesn’t have a standardized size and will depend more on the intent of the dish and the size of the food you’re cutting.
