How to Cut a Melon

Step 5: Remove rind

This is the hardest part of the whole operation, and so long as you've cut the melon into small-enough wedges it's still ridiculously easy.

Just hold the melon wedge in your hand, and slide the paring knife between the rind and melon flesh along the line where the color changes.  

See?  Easy.

Advanced technique: I often leave the last little bit of melon attached to the rind.  This keep the melon wedge from slipping off its rind as I slice it, which is super-handy.  Check out the video in the intro step if you're not sure what I mean.
