This is how to cut a melon correctly! Before we begin, it is important to choose a ripe melon. It is best if the melon is in season, because it will only be so tasty and fresh. Ripe melons can be recognized by their sweet, floral scent, especially at the end where the calyx used to be. Some melons, such as cantaloupe, will rattle slightly when shaken slightly due to the released seeds.

Steps to cut a melon perfectly

Cut off the ends: Put the melon aside and use a sharp knife to cut off about half an inch from the top and bottom to provide a stable base for further cutting.
Peel the melon: Place the melon upright on one of the cut sides. With a knife, follow the contour of the melon from top to bottom, removing the skins in pieces about 2-3 cm wide. It is important to remove the entire green inner layer of the peel so that only the juicy flesh remains.
Cut in half and remove seeds: Halve the melon and remove the seeds using a spoon or your fingers. If you use your fingers, it will be easier to reach all the corners without damaging the meat.
Cut into shards: Cut each melon half into 4-6 slices, depending on the size of the melon.
Remove the skins from the shards: Set each shard aside and carefully remove the rest of the peel with a knife. You can do this by placing the knife between the flesh and the peels and cutting along the curve of the shard.
