How to Slice Watermelon

Watermelons can be messy to cut, but this is the easiest and neatest way to pull it off.

Things You'll Need

• Watermelons
• Large Knives
• Melon Ballers

Instructions

1. Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise.

2. Remove the seeds with the tip of a knife, if you want.

3. Slice watermelon horizontally into wedges.

4. Remove the rind, if desired, by inserting a knife between the rind and the flesh to cut it away.

5. Serve as wedges or cut into chunks.

Tips & Warnings

• Try scooping out the fruit with a melon baller if you are planning to use it in a salad. Use the remaining rind as a serving bowl.

• Serve watermelon very cold.
