I have seen some people cutting watermelon this way on Pinterest. It looked interesting so I decided to try it myself. My parents bought the watermelon after I mentioned I wanted to eat watermelon. My dad chose it as he knows how to choose watermelon. He will tap it and hear the sound. This watermelon was good. It had a very thin peel, a sign of a good watermelon.
So my mom cut it in half and we ate the first half a few days ago. The second half, we ate yesterday after I cut it in a cross cross. It was very easy. I used a large knife to cut it. I basically cut it like so, below.
I should have cut the pieces smaller as they turned out to be too large for eating comfortably. They were chunky and thick. But it is still a good way to eat watermelon! There was enough for 3 of us and a lot leftover. My mom cut off the peels and kept them in a box in the fridge.
It was a good way to eat watermelon. I asked my mom if she would cut the watermelon this way next time and she said maybe. It is my first time cutting watermelon and this was easy. I suppose if I were to cut watermelon again, this is the only way I would know how to cut it. But it works and I am glad I learnt how to cut watermelon!
