How To Slice A Watermelon

I have been going to a cooking class that a woman is teaching in my neighborhood. This woman is amazing. Not only is she the epitome of organization, she knows everything about cooking. Everything I didn't even know I didn't know.

She is like a one woman cooking show. She cooks a four course meal, some dishes twice for us to sample. She sends us a shopping list for the recipes she is demonstrating. We make part of the meal there and finish the rest at home. She has half of the ingredients pre-chopped, cooked or measured and ready to go. She whips up the dish, puts it in the oven and then pulls out another one that’s all finished. It’s a 2-2 ½ hour class every week and she’s doing it all for free! I LOVE HER!


Now go amaze your friends and family with your new watermelon slicing skills! (Don't tell me you already knew how to slice a watermelon this way because it will just hurt my feelings that you didn't tell me sooner.)

Of course cutting up a seeded watermelon or a papaya is a whole other story but you can use this technique with any other kind of melon; (Juan)Canary Melon Horned Melon, Kiwano Sharlyn, Cantaloupe, Melon-pear, Seedless Watermelon, Casaba, Musk Melon, Sweet Melon, Crenshaw, Net melon, Charantais, Ogen melon, Watermelon, Christmas Melon, Pepino Melon, Wax Melon, Derishi, Persian Melon, Winter Melon, Galia, Russian/Uzbek Melon, Yellow Watermelon, Honeydew, Santa Claus, and Xigua.

Did you know there were so many fun varieties of melons? I didn't.
