Ingredients
- 1 watermelon
Instructions
To cut into wedges
- Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise and place a half on the cutting board.
- Slice it in half again (lengthwise) and slice each quarter into 1-inch thick wedges. Repeat with the remaining watermelon.
To cut into sticks
- Cut the watermelon in half. Place one half, cut side down on the cutting board. Slice into 1.5 inch thick pieces.
- Turn the watermelon halfway and slice in the opposite direction to create watermelon sticks
To cut into cubes
- Cut the watermelon in half and using a sharp knife, remove the rind and the top part of the watermelon.
- Slice into 1-inch thick disks. Lay down a disk on the cutting board and slice it in a grid pattern so you have watermelon cubes.
Notes
- Using a sharp chef's knife would make the cutting much easier. Dull knives are actually more dangerous.
- You can store uncut watermelon at room temperature for 10 to 14 days.
- Store the cut watermelon in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
