Cutting A Watermelon
Materials Required
- Watermelon
- Serrated knife
- Soap
- Bowl
Instructions
- The first step would be to rinse the watermelon with a mild soap. This is necessary, as the dirt outside may come in contact with the watermelon flesh when it is cut.
- Using the serrated knife, chop off both the ends of the watermelon.
- Now, position the knife at one of the ends and slice it through the center.
- Make sure that you cut along the dark stripes on the outside of the watermelon. This would help you remove the seeds later, as they would end up on the outside of the pieces of watermelon.
- Now, cut each half of the watermelon further into sections.
- Holding the small section in one hand, slice off the watermelon flesh from the rind.
- Once you have sliced off the watermelon flesh, cut the big piece into smaller even sections.
- Place each of the small sections into a bowl. Your healthy, refreshing treat is ready to be eaten!
