Summer vacations are not complete without fresh fruits. We always make sure to bring a watermelon whenever we go on beach trips. It’s always a must, but most of the time, I have trouble slicing it into pieces. Good thing I found this simple technique by Everyday Reviews. It’s definitely the best and easiest way to cut this fruit. It’s less messy and makes it more presentable. You should try this next time you buy a watermelon. Read on or watch the video below for full instructions.

Materials:

• large bowl
• a big and sharp knife
• large cutting board

Instructions:

Step 1:

Thoroughly wash the skin of the watermelon to remove any dirt.

Step 2:

Place your watermelon on your cutting board horizontally. The first thing you need to do is to cut the ends off. Try not to take too much of the meat out.

Step 3:

Cut it in half. If you are using a small knife, rotate it around after every cut.

Step 4:

Get a half, and flip it over onto the large side. Trim the skin off by following the curvature of the watermelon. Rotate it around after each slice to make it easier for you. Try your best not to take too much of the meat off. If there are any white parts left, just trim them off.

Step 5:

Section your watermelon by cutting it into 3/4-inch slices. Make sure to cut all the way through. Once done, rotate it 90 degrees and do the same. Try to keep it all together as much as you can.

Step 6:

Take your large bowl, and put it upside down over the watermelon that you just cut. Flip it over and now they are all sectioned. Repeat with the other watermelon half and use a different bowl. Serve and enjoy!
