When I was little, I was what you would call a bit gullible.
I honestly believed that if I ate a watermelon seed, I’d grow watermelons out my ears.
But thank heavens that wasn’t true or I’d be a walking watermelon vine because when they come in season, I’m all over those babies!
And I have a SUPER EASY way to cube a watermelon and thought I’d pass it along to you guys.
First, cut your watermelon into quarters.
Then take a quarter and slice it down to {but not through} the rind like shown below.
Then, on each side, slice horizontally as shown below.
So, now your watermelon looks like this:
Now, carefully slice all around the watermelon along the rind like this:
Once you go all the way around the perimeter of the rind, you can just dump the cubes into a bowl!
How freaking easy is that? Seriously, huh?
Did I mention that I always buy seedless watermelons now? No reason what-so-ever. Just do.

Gwen, wow love the new look of your blog! Thanks for the watermelon tip – I’m pinning this for sure.
Thank you so much, Marie! You’re so sweet!
Ya know, I think I’ve argued with one too many watermelons in my day. How did I not know this before? Thanks for the tips!
Haha! You’re so welcome!
I avoid watermelon cutting at all costs. Now, it just might be a bit more pleasant. THank you! I’ve pinned this.
Me, too, Misty! Until I figured out how to do this. Now it’s super fast and easy!
You know, you’re absolutely right. This is the best way to cube a watermelon. I’ve been doing it this way for years. I tried to cut it differently. It was supposed to be the “best” way. I’ll stick with this. It definitely works best for me. I can also just slice each section into small triangles for small gatherings!
Great tip and will use if I am only going to eat a section of watermelon…. If I plan on cutting the whole thing.. I simply cut off the entire rind. So I have a big round ball of yummyness. Then my knife flies thru making big chunks and small pieces just the same
Sissy,
Thanks for sharing!
