Into Cubes

Slice the watermelon in half lengthwise.

Cut each half into halves again, creating 4 quarters.

Take one quarter and slice vertical cuts from the red flesh down to the rind, spacing about 1 inch apart.

Turn the quarter and slice across it horizontally, 1 inch apart, creating a grid-like or crosshatch pattern.

Gently cut along the inside of the rind to release the cubes—they should come out effortlessly.

Into Sticks

Halve the watermelon lengthwise and place one half flat-side down.

Trim off the rounded edges to form a rectangle or square shape.

Slice 1-inch wide strips lengthwise.

Rotate and slice across every inch to form stick-shaped pieces. These are great for kids and mess-free snacking.

Into Triangles

Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise.

Place one half flat-side down and cut it in half again lengthwise.

Repeat once more to create eighths.

Slice across each eighth about 1 inch apart for perfect triangle wedges.
