Cutting Watermelon Into Wedges

  1. Take a quarter watermelon and lay it on the rind with the interior facing up. Place knife about two inches from end of wedge.
  2. Cut off the curved end of the fruit. Place knife about¾ to 1 inch (or desired thickness) into fruit and cut straight down.
  3. Repeat until entire quarter is in wedges.

Note: Always wash fruit and vegetables before cutting or eating. And, follow safe food handling practices when cutting watermelon or any other food item. Be sure your knives and cutting surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned with anti-bacterial soap before each use. And, remember, never cut any food item with a knife, or on a cutting board, that was just used to cut raw meat.
