To most of the people, cold juicy watermelon is summers’ ultimate thirst quencher. This sweet kind of fruit is also very healthy. And now that most of the melons in the market are seedless, it’s easier than ever to dive in and eat/ drink without spitting (or swallowing) seeds. 

The melons are freshest when you buy them whole and cut them yourself. You can cut watermelon into rounds, wedges, slices, or cubes, or even scoop out the flesh with a melon baller. However, when faced with cutting a giant watermelon, it can be hard to know where to start.

Thanks to those creative and unique watermelon cutting tools -- named watermelon cutter or slicer, we can get the most efficient and easy way to cut this summer's beloved fruit. Get perfect cubes every time without worrying about creating a mess.

How to Prepare Your Watermelon Before Cutting

No matter if you want to slice your watermelon into triangles, batons, cubes, or just peel it, you'll have to start with these below basic steps.

1, Pick a ripe & sweet watermelon

Although it can be difficult to know how ripe the interior is just by inspecting the outside, there are several clever tricks you can learn to help you pick a watermelon. 

If you don’t know how to pick a good watermelon, please read that post for the top 8 tips for picking a ripe and sweet watermelon from the store. Enjoy!

2, Wash and Rinse the watermelon thoroughly

Before you get started, wash off the melon with soap and water or rinse the watermelon under the faucet to remove dirt, germs, and pesticides from the watermelon rind. 

Since bacteria lurks on melon skin, and you don’t want to drag it into your melon. It’s important to wash the rind because everything the knife touches on the outside of the melon will end up in contact with the watermelon flesh as it slices through.

3, Slice off both ends of the watermelon and halve it

You’d better cut melons on a clean cutting board with a runnel to catch all the juices, and also using a large serrated knife (or sharp chef’s knife). 

Since a serrated knife works best for items that have a softer interior and tougher exterior like melons, tomatoes, and breads. Knives must be longer than the fruit you're going to cut. 

Cut the top and the bottom of the watermelon, by standing it, then slice down through the center of the melon. To make triangles or batons, slice it lengthwise. To peel and/or cube the watermelon, slice it crosswise. 

Note: the melon will keep better uncut so unless you’re prepping for a party, wrap one half in plastic and refrigerate.
