Quick way to chop up a cantaloupe or honeydew melon

Easiest way to cube a cantaloupe or other melon
(about 3 minutes including clean-up time)

1. Set out the following:
  • cantaloupe
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • container
  • spoon

2. Cut the melon in half and scoop out seeds


3. Cut off each end of the melon


4. Lay the melon down and cut away the rind


5. Now it's easy to cube the melon

For some reason, I alway used to scoop out the seeds, cut it into wedges, then try to do some fancy work with the knife to get the rind off. This is much easier.

You'll notice I'm wearing a chain mail glove. This can be a real time saver. It would have saved me about 5 hours in the emergency room last year. It was a $119, a bargain compared to what the ER charged. If you want to get this exact same one, click here to buy it on Amazon.
