Split a watermelon. Stand the watermelon upright before cutting it down the middle.

• Note that if you cut along the dark stripe lines on the peel, the seeds will lie outside of the slices, and it will be easier to remove the seeds.

Cut the melon halves into pieces. You can cut two halves of a melon into two, three, or four parts, depending on whether you want to cut it into large or small pieces.

Cut the watermelon from top to bottom. You will slice the melon slices evenly about 5-7.5 cm thick. Cut the remaining pieces in the same way. advertisement

   Cut the watermelon into triangle slices. Cut each slice of watermelon about 2.5 - 5 cm thick, just cut close to the melon peel, not cut off the peel.

3. 

   Cut the watermelon lengthwise into slices. Start on one side of the watermelon, about 2.5 cm below the top. Cut the watermelon into slices lengthwise so that the tip runs along the rind.

4. 

   Continue to slice the melon. Cut a vertical line about 2.5-5 cm below the first cut. Do not cut off the shell. Turn the melon around and cut similarly on the other side.

   Cut the flesh of the melon off the skin. Use a knife to cut along the melon underneath in a "sweep" fashion. You can then pour the pieces of watermelon into a bowl or plate. advertisement

Method 5 of 5: Use a spoon to create fruit pills

1. 

   Cut the watermelon into four parts.

Cut the melon in two halves either vertically or horizontally.

2. 

   Use a spoon to scoop the watermelon. Use a spoon to create a fruit ball or scoop of ice cream to scoop out the flesh of the watermelon. Drop the round watermelon balls into a bowl or box of Tupperware.
   • This method for seedless watermelon is the most suitable, as this will leave the melon balls without any seeds. However, you can also remove the seeds while you scoop the melon.

3. 

   Serve cold. The cold watermelon balls are a great sobering treat that your whole family will definitely enjoy. advertisement
