Cutting a watermelon in half
Cutting a watermelon in half is the best way to get evenly sized slices. First, cut off one end of the watermelon so it will sit flat on the cutting board Second, use a sharp knife to cut the watermelon in half from end to end. Finally, cut each half of the watermelon into equal-sized slices.
Scooping out the seeds
Before cutting your watermelon into slices, you’ll need to remove the seeds. The easiest way to do this is to cut the watermelon in half lengthwise, then use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds from each half. If you want to remove the seeds entirely, you can also cut the watermelon into smaller wedges, then use a fork or your fingers to pick out the seeds.
Cutting the watermelon into slices
Start by cutting the watermelon in half, then slice each half into thirds. Next, cut each of those pieces into thin slices. For larger watermelons, you may want to cut the slices in half. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
