Steps to Cut Watermelon Spears
1. Prepare Your Watermelon: Start by washing the watermelon to remove any dirt or residues from the rind. Even though you won’t eat the rind, cutting through a clean surface is always a good practice.
2. Slice Off the Ends: Place the watermelon on its side on your cutting board. Using your chef’s knife, slice off both ends of the watermelon. This will give you a stable base and top for further cutting and prevent the melon from rolling.
