Kate’s Escapades: Watermelon De-seeding 101

watermelon lizandkatecupWhen I was at the store recently, the price of a seedless watermelon was 59 cents per pound and the price of a seeded watermelon was 19 cents a pound…a 40 cent per pound difference!

In my never ceasing effort to make life in the kitchen easier for you (and me)…here is my quick and easy step by step method of turning  a seeded watermelon into a delicious SEEDLESS snack for you and your family.

Step 1.  Wash the outside of your melon

Step 2.  Cut off both ends

Step 3.  Score into the melon by cutting about halfway to the center all the way around.

Step 4.  Pound firmly up & down a slice to loosen it, then pull out gently.

The slice should break apart at the seed line.

Step 5.  Cut the line of seeds out.  (Scrape out the extras)

This is what the slice will look like after de-seeding.

Step 6.  Cut the watermelon from the rind as you would a cantaloupe.

Step 7. Scrape the seeds from the center piece which is left

after you remove all the slices, and then cut into pieces.

Step 9.  Enjoy!!  As a reward for spending your time getting the melon

ready to eat…you get the middle piece of the center of the watermelon!
