  • @girlart9
    @girlart9 3 года назад +4

    Well, I did it this way for years until the knife slipped and I cut my hand. No more. I now cut the melon in half and scoop out all seeds. Now I place the cut side down on a clean cutting board and using my 6” knife, I cut off all the skin following the curve of the cantaloupe. I’m cutting away from myself and the skin comes right off in two or three inch wide sections. Bam! Then you proceed cutting into wide slices or whatever and then cut the other direction and you have chunks. I think you save more fruit this way and it’s far easier at least for me.

    Rookie moves you don’t need a large knife for this, this is small knife job pal. Cantaloupe when ripe is nice and soft you can use a small butter knife to slide through and get every piece of cantaloupe needed for your hot summer picnic brother.
