9 specs
Kitchen culinary knives standardize blade lengths and edge geometry, centered around the 8-inch (20 cm) chef's knife. Edge angles distinguish acute Japanese bevels (15° per side / 30° inclusive) for push-cutting from durable Western/German bevels (20° per side / 40° inclusive) for rocking chops.
Egg Sizes
12 specs
USDA egg sizing grades establish minimum net weight per dozen: Jumbo (30 oz / 850 g), Extra Large (27 oz / 765 g), Large (24 oz / 680 g — the standard 50 g baking benchmark), Medium (21 oz / 595 g), Small (18 oz / 510 g), and Peewee (15 oz / 425 g).
French Knife Cuts
12 specs
Classical French culinary knife cuts establish strict dimensional standards for vegetable preparation, categorized into stick cuts (Batonnet, Julienne, Fine Julienne) and corresponding cube cuts (Large, Medium, Small Dice, Brunoise, and Fine Brunoise).
