How to cut a watermelon free#
The seeds grow in seams through the flesh, and if you cut the watermelon in half and look at the cut surface, you should be able to see roughly their pattern of growth – they’ll radiate out from the centre with a circle free of seeds in the middle. Hold the watermelon steady with one hand. If your watermelon has lots of seeds, you’ll have to remove them as you cut. Many watermelons are now sold as ‘seedless’ and may have no seeds, or a few pale yellow soft seeds that can easily be flicked out with the point of a knife. Finally, pick a long enough knife so you can cut through the whole melon easily – a cook’s knife will do.Stand up the watermelon and slice down the middle to create. The crosswise slice with one-inch wideness is obtained. Now, place this half cut-side down and cut the pieces lengthwise to get the slices of one inch. Take a knife and slice the watermelon quite nicely.
