I never even thought of cutting off the ends first! We've always just cut them in half! That watermelon looks good... 🍉🍉🍉

@VarunBlack 4 года назад

Gyarren then why did you come here?

@Gyarren 4 года назад

@@VarunBlack I wanted to see if there was an easier way of cutting a watermelon...?

@jvincent924 7 лет назад

Better than the other videos I have seen on this subject. I just followed his technique, and not only was it quick, but the cubes came out pretty uniform.

@SA-hf3fu 3 года назад

Yup, I’ve been using that same technique for over 20 years. The one thing I do different is that I put a dish cloth under the cutting board rather than a baking sheet. The cloth absorbs the juices that spill as well as helping to keep your board from moving around. **Tip: Anytime you’re using a cutting board, put a damp paper towel under it and it won’t move during cutting.

@luislptigres 3 года назад

It works! Thank you

Just went a bought a watermelon and did the spear technique, so good. Definitely top 3 fruits to enjoy

@emilyamalkin4367 2 года назад

That sounds perfect cutting! Very impressed. Thanks for the idea, I never thought of cutting the ends first, then placing the watermelon on the flat end and cutting the rind around it. You made it look easy! Thanks for the video.

@71KBreck 5 лет назад

Brilliant idea to have the cutting board in a cookie sheet

@JoeRiordan 6 лет назад

I'm kind of ashamed that I never thought to put my cutting board in a baking sheet to catch drippings.

@BlessedYouTuber 4 года назад

Joe Riordan true.

@lbowsk 3 года назад

Works great when cutting up a whole ribeye, NY Strip, or tenderloin as well.

@mewsikitty 2 года назад

A damp towel under the baking sheet keeps it from sliding on the counter, too. 🙂

@cocinoconmihijaalcantara5471 2 года назад

Wow this watermelon is so delicious

@SWEETROSESINGSDANCES 3 года назад

Amazing! And it works great, so fast and simple! I just got back from the fruit farm with a new watermelon and put it to test! Thank you for the great video! Well done! Now I am going to see what will work on the cantaloupe sitting in my kitchen,,,,

@The18thNinja 3 года назад

Thank you! You saved me a lot of time and clean up!!!!

@dreamboy2053 3 года назад

I personally like the pizza slice method where you eat watermelon off the peel in your hands.

@guest00791 2 года назад

Yep, this method the chef touches every single piece 🤮🤮🤮

@aliciasha3251 3 года назад

What do you do with the watermelon rind, full of healthy citrulline to help blood flow.

@fantasyteamshorts6112 3 года назад

@CPreacher40 6 лет назад

I cut my watermelon like this yesterday cause I hate eating it in slices with the rind still on. except I used a crappy knife. might have been a bread knife but it was the longest one I could find.

@MumsKitchen123 3 года назад

It's very interesting 🤔

@lbowsk 3 года назад

I use a melon scoop. Nice round balls. Quick and easy. Minimal mess. Of course, you get irregular pieces as you go, but I'm not a chef in a fancy restaurant. Just a slob "putting food on my family". ;)

@victorkendrick3962 Год назад

Healthier for you with the black seeds

@timc1341 3 года назад

Nah I'll just continue cutting it in half and eating out of it with a spoon like a bowl of cereal

@BakewithSam 4 года назад

Nice

@mjdawson2299 4 года назад

There is very little waste using this method. Great!

@bonniek5331 7 лет назад

One thing important it to always wash your watermelon , other melons before you cut. They have a lot of bacteria the way they are grown and get mixed with other things. You can get sick

@مهديحسنحطاب 6 лет назад

Bonnie Kraynick ههههههه

@Glim246 4 года назад

I wash everything I cut in to otherwise your knife is just dragging chemicals and bacteria in to the flesh. Takes an extra 15 seconds.

@fjb4932 3 года назад

That knife is a hell•of•ah lot sharper and more useful than my 5th ex ...

@gracejmock1323 Год назад

Why do you use a serrated knife to cut the watermelon? Ive never seen a chef's knife like that. Does the serrations make a huge difference? I'm curious. I'm teaching myself at 48, how to cook. I watch a lot of cooking shows on tv & RU-vid, currently watching Gotdon Ramsay, but no one explains why you use a particular knife.

Yes true

@MandeepSingh-hg8zp 6 лет назад

Aditi Dutta these are the American mellon that's why it doesn't have seed and English cucumber and other seedy fruits and vegetables have less seed or no seeds in it.

@kelskels7924 4 года назад

I just cut myself trying to cut a watermelon so my boyfriend sent me this link. I am probably not going to do it this way because i can't use a knife very well. but it is a very genius way to cut a watermelon.
