Step 1: Method. Show All Items. All you need is watermelon, knife and a marker if needed. Cut as shown on the first picture, then scoop out watermelon flesh (you can either use melon baller or just slice with knife or even a spoon (melon baller gives nice round shape tho!), as shown on the second picture. Then make a zig zag cut on side to create a basket effect as picture number 3.
If you plan to use a watermelon within a few days, choose the ripest one you can find; look for a yellowish-white resting spot, as opposed to a white or pale green spot, where the melon has rested on the ground. A soft âgiveâ when you press the blossom end of the melon, opposite the stem end, also indicates ripeness.
