"Site" offers readers 8 original ways of artistic cutting of watermelon. Choose any of them to your taste!

Cutting watermelon

1. Chess
   Cut off your ass and tail. Cut the watermelon in half along the vertical axis. Holding the half with your hand, cut the skin from it with strips.
   
   
   
   Leave a thin strip of skin in the middle. For the skin, the pieces will be convenient to take with your hand. Turn the halves of the watermelon down.
   
   
   
   
   
   Cut thin slices across the remaining peel. Carefully transfer all the lobes to the plate and distribute them in chess order. Such a serve looks unusual, and the pieces are convenient to take without getting dirty with juice.
   
   
2. Boat.
   This method is somewhat similar to the previous one. Cut a little easier. There is, I would say, a little more inconvenient: you need a fork.
   
   
   
   Cut the watermelon in half. Put half on the table slice down and cut again in half. Separate the flesh from the crust with a knife, making a kind of boat.
   
   
   
   
   
   Cut the flesh in small segments. Place them on our "boat" in chess order.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Thin triangular lobes
   Cut the watermelon across into two equal parts, then cut the half into two more parts.
   
   
   
   Cut the quarters along into three equal slices. After that, put the quarter on the board with a slice down and cut with long sharp triangles, which are convenient to take in your hand.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Christmas trees.
   This method creatively develops the previous one. Having cut the watermelon quarter into slices, as in the method above, take another couple of minutes to make two longitudinal cuts on the crust of each slice.
   
   
   
   Separate the outermost strips of crust from the pulp. And cut the remaining watermelon across thin sectors. The resulting pieces look very picturesque and look like small Christmas trees, which are convenient to take by a green leg.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Cubes.
   Cut the watermelon into discs 2-3 centimeters thick. Cut the crust. The remaining pulp was cut into cubes of 2 by 2 centimeters.
   
   
   
   After that, they are easy to move into a container, even rectangular, as in the photo, and conveniently eat. Of course, you will need swords or a fork.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Straw.
   I personally like this method more than others and it is ideal for buffets at work. Half of the watermelon lying down, you need to cut into half-discs about 2 centimeters thick.
   
   
   
   Then repeat the procedure, making cuts across the original.
   
   
   
   
   
   The result is a set of “watermelon sticks”, which are conveniently eaten, taking up the end with a crust, and can be served portioned, spread out in cups.
   
   
   
   
   
7. American way.
   This method is not much different from the previous one. Put half the watermelon on the cutting board cut down and neat movements of the knife remove the entire crust.
   
   
   
   Repeat the procedure from the paragraph above. Cut watermelon cover a suitable sized bowl and flip, holding the cutting board with one hand and the bowl with the other.
   
   
   
   
   
   American watermelon slicing It looks spectacular, but to eat, you need swords.
   
   
   
   
   
8. A basket.
   This method is suitable for real aesthetes, who also have a lot of free time. To make the basket more smooth, make preliminary markings.
   
   
   
   To do this, stick a paint tape on the watermelon and apply the required pattern to it. Then make a sharp knife cuts along the contour of the picture and remove the remains of the tape.
   
   
   
   
   
   Remove all the flesh from the watermelon. If you do this with a round spoon for ice cream, you will get cute watermelon balls. Mix them with berry assortment and pieces of fruit. Fill our basket with the mixture. I bet this watermelon will be the nail of any table!
