1. Lay the watermelon down and trim both ends with a sharp knife.

2. Stand the watermelon on a trimmed end and cut down the middle, creating two long halves.

3. Lay each half flesh slice-down and cut in half (lengthwise) again. You’ll have four long quarters.

4. Turn each quarter flesh-side down and slice into 2cm strips.
