Instructions
Step 1
The watermelon has some hints for butchering it with a knife. It has an equator (the line along which the watermelon is cut in half) and meridians drawn on the skin (light stripes against a dark background of the skin connecting its base). Therefore, the most common way to cut a watermelon is to cut a juicy fruit into two equal parts along the equator, and then cut longitudinal pieces along the meridians. Peel the resulting sections of the watermelon from the seeds, separate the pulp from the rind and start enjoying the rich taste of the watermelon.
Step 2
This method of cutting watermelon is practiced by residents of southern countries. Watermelon, as a dessert after dinner, is solemnly laid out on a tray and turned so that its central axis lies horizontally. The section of the watermelon that is on the right hand is intended for cutting off the cap of the watermelon. The quality of the watermelon is judged by its color and consistency. Then the watermelon is placed in a vertical position, and from above they begin to cut along its strips into segments to the middle. Thus, everyone who wants to taste a piece of watermelon can break it off himself.
Step 3
But this method is the most beautiful and simple. Watermelon, naturally well washed, cut into four parts. To give stability, we tilt each quarter and cut off a small piece of a rounded base. Now the watermelon does not roll off the table. Separate the crust from the pulp. To do this, make cuts along the crust with a knife from both edges. Then, without removing the pulp from the crust, we cut it into longitudinal lobes - sticks. For beauty, we move these sticks over the crust to make a checkerboard pattern.
