I watched about 30 of those results in my hunt for the best watermelon-cutting lesson, and although I\u2019ll never get that hour of my life back, the effort was well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>It allowed me to find what I think is the best \u201chow to cut up a watermelon\u201d video on YouTube. It\u2019s not perfect, mind you \u2013 some videos contained valuable mini-lessons that this one doesn\u2019t \u2013 but it gets the main points across in a clear and concise manner. Before you watch it, allow me to outline five reasons why I like the video:<\/p>\n<p>1. The watermelon is cut on an outdoor grill. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>2. The watermelon is cut by a guy wearing a football jersey. Also pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>3. He uses a Santoku knife. Most people would opt for a long-bladed slicing knife or a chef\u2019s knife, but not him. The Santoku is a classy choice.<\/p>\n<p>4. The finished product is a mouth-watering pile of watermelon wedges minus any rind.<\/p>\n<p>5. The carver accomplishes the task in around a minute-and-a-half, which makes for a nice, two-minute video (some other video lessons were way too long).<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"568\" height=\"320\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><embed width=\"568\" height=\"320\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hDHJAiIBz3M?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you search for \u201chow to cut up a watermelon\u201d on YouTube, you\u2019ll get more than 1,500 results.
