50 People Try to Cut a Watermelon | Epicurious

Why cut it into triangles when I look so good just sitting on it? Cut huh? Triangles? Let me think about that. I don't think I've ever cut into a watermelon before. I don't eat watermelon. I'm not sure which knife to use. I like the way this looks. Oh my god. I've watched a lot of Gallagher. Jesus Christ. Oh hell yeah. That sounded so nice. I have the feeling that this is what surgery sounds like or like a c-section. So clearly I cannot cut a straight line. Not quite sure what to do here. Let's just try it this way. Is this what you do? Probably not. Wait a second. Does this actually work? Oh that's really hard though. Why is this not happening? I don't really know what I'm doing. This is why I buy pre-cut melon. Okay. I got this. Let's cut this watermelon up. I'm gonna use the knife. I'm gonna cut it in half. So now I'm going to cut this one in half and cut it again and then cut it like this. Here's your triangle. Not brain surgery people. It's just a watermelon. Somebody's going to watch me do this and if I do this right or if I do this wrong they're going to comment on it and say he doesn't know how to make a watermelon into triangles and no I don't. So you're welcome. This is how you cut a watermelon into triangles. I just do it with a knife. Simple, simple chef knife. With watermelons it's round so you want to cut the ends off so you can get to a flat surface. This way it's steady on your board and you're not going to cut yourself or hurt yourself. And then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to cut it in half straight down the middle. Okay. Turn it around. Okay and then we cut it from half to quarters. Okay and then you just cut it to triangles. Super, super simple. And that's how you cut a watermelon to perfect triangles. Oh yeah. Hey. This is um a parallelogram but we can make it into a triangle if we're obsessed with aesthetics which I'm not.
