ELEANOR K. ASKS: Should I clean the outside of my watermelon before eating it? If so, what’s the best way to do that?
Unlike most other things in the kitchen, cleaning a watermelon is pretty easy. I usually just rinse it under cold water and wipe it dry – sort of like an apple. If it’s too big to fit in your sink (lucky you), a wipe down with a damp cloth should do the trick.

Believe it or not I'm writing a paper on how to prepare a watermelon, and I was wondering if you had any advice regarding the best knife to use for cutting? Specifically for cubing a watermelon. I've seen the fancy watermelon slicers, but I was thinking more along the lines of traditional kitchen knives. Is serrated better?
Thank you!
