Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’m going to share some fun and easy methods for cutting watermelon into attractive shapes that are also super convenient to eat. Let’s enjoy watermelon in various styles!
Step 2
First, prepare your watermelon. Cut it into bite-sized pieces, about the thickness of one and a half finger joints. It’s important not to cut them too thin, or they might fall apart.
Step 3
Now, shall we try cutting watermelon sticks? This method involves cutting the watermelon into long pieces without removing the rind, making them easy to hold and eat directly. They’re perfect for kids’ snacks too!
Step 4
To start, cut the watermelon into triangles and trim off the hard rind from both sides. This naturally creates a handle, making it comfortable to hold and eat. These are also great for serving guests as they look quite elegant. This is the individual ‘tree-shaped’ cutting method.
Step 5
This time, let me show you how to create a ‘tree-shaped’ watermelon all at once. Cut the watermelon into slightly thick, boat-like shapes. Then, starting from one end of the rind, make a long cut about one-third of the way down towards the flesh. Flip it over and make a similar cut on the bottom rind. Now, carefully separate the rind from the flesh along the cuts you made.
Step 6
Once you’ve detached the top and bottom rinds, you can then cut the watermelon flesh into triangle shapes. This completes the ‘tree-shaped’ watermelon, resembling a popsicle, which is perfect for holding and eating!
Step 7
Voila! With built-in handles, you can enjoy your watermelon neatly without needing any forks or knives. Kids will absolutely love this!
Step 8
Lastly, here’s a smart method that solves both cutting and storage at once. Peel the watermelon, then cut it into pieces about one and a half finger joints thick. Place these pieces directly into your airtight container and cut them further to size. This way, you can cut and store simultaneously, making it incredibly convenient.
Step 9
Cutting watermelon in these various ways makes it both easy to eat and visually appealing, ensuring you can enjoy your watermelon more delightfully in any situation. Enjoy!
