How to cut a watermelon in one minute

Try this new technique. - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd

How to cut a watermelon in one minute

Slicing a watermelon can be tricky – especially if you cut it in half straight up. Give this method a go and you’ll be serving it up in no time.

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.
