How to Cut a Watermelon | Cubes and Triangles

[@the.keisha.crawford]

I'm 36 and had to search "how to cut a watermelon" lol Thanks for being there to teach us the basics!

[@10laws2liveby]

I like your show. It's simple, down to earth and without a lot of BS. Im 83 and learned a lot of things that would have made many things so much easier. Probably won't get much use out of all this, time constraints, but never too old to learn. Thanks

[@arkady714]

The flat spot is an excellent idea. The GF and I went shopping and bought a whole watermelon. She knew how to do it but took off this morning without cutting it. I'm stuck with it for about a week and needed instruction. This vid was a big help. Thanks for taking the trouble to make it.

[@homecookbasics]

That is awesome!

Took off for a week? She's getting some pipes fitted, bud.

I love watermelon but man, I am so bad at picking a good one. If I can ever pick a good one, this is good to know on how to do!

[@homecookbasics]

Yes picking them out can be tricky. I have been told to look for the yellow spot that they were sitting on in a field.

[@whitneysanders6996]

I just pick the ugliest one it usually works haha.

Watermelon rind is rich in nutrients, but still, most people throw it in the garbage without thinking. It is rich in antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and some active ingredients. These peels are low in calories, but they are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium, and zinc.

[@homecookbasics]

Did not know that... thanks

[@rosevandorpe9199]

Question ?, would this technique also work well for a mini watermelon just as well ? Or would you recommend a different technique ???

[@homecookbasics]

Sure I don't see why not.

[@joeoliver9223]

GREAT, thanks

[@sassylrhg]

Pro tip, sprinkle with Himalayan salt and lemon 🍋 "yummy yummy for my tummy"

[@homecookbasics]

I was actually thinking about this the other day. I never salt fruit and why not?

The main thing I got from this video was the easiest way to cut a watermelon is to have a sharp knife

[@grampsradio]

Wouldn't a slicing knife work better?

[@pauljads627]

What's the name of the knife?

[@homecookbasics]

Chef 🔪 Wusthof is the brand.

[@gomersmith1061]

Make a flat spot on any fruit or vegetable where stability is needed: cutting shoestring potatoes, wedging or slicing an onion, and especially hard squashes! But be really careful with these. Consider investing in a cleaver, or long scalloped cheese or bread knife to facilitate safe entry into these very hard and large gourds/squash/berries/modified berries. (All terms are correct for these botanical berries. BTW, all melons are also berries.)

[@jonathanleduc8644]

You didnt cut based on the location of the seeds to deseed it. I guess this is fine for seedless watermelon only.
