Rob Carson: Today, I'm going to show you how to cut and slice a watermelon. Now when you're choosing a watermelon, I tend to slap with my hand, it should sound almost kind of hollow. If it sounds really -- if it's well thud, it's not ripe.

First thing I am going to do is I am going to cut it in half. I was right, it's ripe. Then I am going to lay it down flat on the cutting board. Next, carefully watch your fingers; you cut just the top of the melon off. Now here is where the peeling comes in, and this is really cool.

You just go down the melon like this, all the way around the melon. So there you go guys. A fully peeled watermelon, you are wasting very little bit of the flesh and you don't even need to be worry about the rind anymore. What am I going do here is I am going to cut it up.

There you go. You have got fresh cut watermelon, ready to serve, ready to throw in a fruit salad, very simple and very good, enjoy it.
