Juice running everywhere when you cut a watermelon? Try cutting watermelon into sticks - an easy, practical and aesthetic way.
Watermelon is one of the most refreshing summer fruits, but cutting it can cause a real mess.
Instead of the classic triangular slices that cause the juice to flow everywhere, try cutting into sticks. This method is more practical, hygienic and aesthetic, ideal for picnics, parties or simply enjoying at home.
How to cut a watermelon correctly?!
First, wash the watermelon well under running water to remove dirt from its surface. Then place it on a stable cutting board and cut it in half. Using a sharp knife, cut the two halves into slices of equal width, about five inches, but do not separate them completely.

Then turn each half 90 degrees and repeat the cutting. This will create a grid of square pieces that you can easily pick up and enjoy as chopsticks. Each stick has a piece of crust on the end, which makes it easy to hold and prevents the juice from dripping.
This method of cutting brings many advantages
Because the watermelon clings to the rind, the juice is less likely to drip onto your clothes or the table, which is especially convenient for children. It is also more hygienic, as the inside of the watermelon does not touch the hands. In addition, you can neatly stack the sticks in a tall glass container, which is aesthetically appealing and convenient for serving.
