[bright music] So let's talk about cutting up a watermelon.
They are large, roly-poly, wobbly things.
And so I wanna show you how I stabilize them to have a little more control of the cuts I'm making.
So I'm gonna take a serrated knife, maybe like you would use for bread, a good serrated knife, and I'm gonna cut off one end.
Got a bowl here to collect this.
And I'm gonna turn it around.
I'm gonna do the same thing on the other end.
I usually make one more cut down the middle.
You wanna try to get this even.
So I'm gonna rotate this a little bit.
Cut that until it comes in half, you can hear it.
And now I've got two pretty even halves that are stable on my cutting board.
Now I'm gonna go down from the top and start cutting off these big outside pieces.
We're just gonna go around and around and take this off.
And two more cuts and then we're gonna make ourselves some nice big chunks.
So I'm gonna go down from the top, cut straight down.
Turn that around like that.
Turn this here.
I'm gonna do the same thing from the other direction, making ourselves a little grid.
And look what we have.
We now have more or less rectangles of watermelon.
It really is easy.
It really is quick.
And this means you don't have to buy those expensive cups of pre-cut watermelon 'cause you know how to do this yourself.
It's easy.
