How to Cut a Watermelon Quickly with Ease and Less Waste

Cutting a watermelon is super easy.  Cutting a watermelon into bite size pieces is possible….and getting cute shapes is possible too.  Read on to learn how to cut a watermelon quickly and soon you will be almost as professional as the people who work at Edible Arrangements.

The secret to cutting open a watermelon is to cut off the rind first.  You will need a sharp knife to do this (and maybe even use your knife sharpener before starting).  My old, serrated knife does not work for cutting a watermelon.  Do yourself a favor and use a sharp knife for this kitchen task.

For a really large watermelon you may want to cut the watermelon in half.  If your watermelon is smaller then cut off a chunk from the bottom to make it flat so it sits on your cutting board perfectly.  I prefer to cut a flat piece off the top as well.  Once you have your watermelon on a flat surface you are ready to cut off the rind.  Go around in a  circle until it is all gone.  Then cut into pieces – bite size or slices.

For the ultimate fun, break out your cookie cutters and make fun shapes! Insert a popsicle stick and give your child a spin off on a popsicle.
