Having sliced and diced a few million watermelons in my day, I can attest that there is, indeed, a method to slicing correctly. (Sort of like this video about cutting watermelon slices to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/index.php\/2015\/02\/how-to-cut-a-watermelon-to-avoid-getting-a-messy-face\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">avoid getting a messy face<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Then again, it really would be nice if there were something to make the process even easier. I\u2019m imagining an all-in-one device that allows you to slice your watermelon with ease. Good news: that device exists, and it\u2019s this month\u2019s prize.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gourmet-Watermelon-Honeydew-Pineapple-Cantaloupe\/dp\/B00IIZYUFA\/ref=pd_sbs_k_2?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=1WPVS21ATJGYK4GMMBDV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">melon slicer<\/a> is guaranteed to make cutting watermelon a breeze. Found on Amazon for $40, the slicer can reduce a 15-pound melon into handy wedges in mere seconds. No more cutting boards or sharp knives \u2014 just delicious slices of your favorite melon!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll choose one lucky commenter at random from all the comments left on the blog this month to win this prize. I\u2019ve never used this slicer, so I can\u2019t attest to how well it really works, but if it means I can eat watermelon sooner than I currently do after arriving home from the grocery store, I\u2019ll probably buy one for myself. Good luck!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>UP NEXT: A lesson in watermelon grammar<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on the monumental amounts of YouTube videos one can find on how to cut watermelon, it\u2019s no secret that cutting it the right way is easier said than done.
