You may have mastered cutting watermelon into cubes and slices, but how about "skinning" a watermelon? One former NASA engineer, Mark Rober, invented a process that presents the fruit in a way you've never imagined — and if you bring it to your next summer party, it's sure to be a hit.
This hack isn't just an easy way to cut open and serve a watermelon; it's more of a party trick. When it's finished, you can open up the rind, and the inside flesh is left as a completely intact, big ball of watermelon. You can then chop it up and serve it as usual.
Want to try it for yourself? Here's how to try Rober's watermelon skinning trick.
You'll need: two watermelons that are similar in shape and side, a sharp knife, a new dish scrubbing pad
