Watermelon Cube Cutter, Windmill Slicer
$14.99
Watermelon Cube Cutter with a Windmill Blade
Cubing a watermelon with a knife means a slippery board, juice everywhere and pieces that all come out different sizes. A watermelon cube cutter does the cutting as you push it through the slice, so you get a row of even cubes and clean hands.
It's a long stainless steel tool, about 10 in (25 cm) from end to end. At the front is a green windmill wheel that turns as you push, and behind it two rails hold the cubes as they're cut. It makes cubes up to about 2 cm (0.8 in) wide. A bowl of tidy watermelon cubes without chopping a thing.
How do you cut a watermelon into cubes?
- Cut the watermelon into thick slices or wedges.
- Push the tool into the flesh, close to the rind, and move it forward. The wheel turns and cuts as you go.
- When the rails are full, lift the tool out over a bowl.
- Tip it gently, and the cubes slide off.
Firm, cold melon cuts the neatest. Very ripe, soft melon can break up on the rails.
Watermelon windmill slicer or a knife?
A knife is still faster for a few big wedges. The windmill watermelon cutter wins when you want bite-size pieces for a party, a kids' snack or a fruit salad. It also cuts down on mess, because the fruit never leaves the rind until it's cubed.
Is it safe for kids to use?
The plastic wheel has rounded edges to protect your fingers, so it's friendlier than a chef's knife. It still cuts through fruit, so kids should use it with an adult watching.
Care
Rinse it right after use so the sugar doesn't dry around the wheel, and hang it up by the hole in the handle.
