A tourné cut is usually about 2 inches (50 mm) long, and has seven faces, typically with a slight bulge in the center.

The cut is shaped sort of like a football with a blunt end.

Steps for making a tourné cut:

  1. Square off the vegetable.
  2. Cut the vegetable into 2 inch segments.
  3. Use a knife to cut seven sides into each segment.
  4. Trim the ends so they are flat.

The tourné cut is often used for presentation and to enhance the appearance of vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, or squash.
