Either way, the finished slices and cubes-though of consistent thickness, as promised-had odd, swooping, erratically cut bottom edges. Worse, because it was impossible to gauge how deeply the tool was slicing into the melon, we either took too much off the bottom (leaving on undesirable rind) or, more often, too little (wasting lots of fruit). And of course, if you buy a whole watermelon, you’ll still need a knife to cut it open. Those big, scythe-like blades lacked precise control when serving the fruit, sometimes mashing it in the process. In fact, it took slightly more time to make each new cut line up with the last, and we had to yank upward awkwardly to dislodge the tool after each slice. The watermelon released just as much juice when we used this tool as when we cut it with a knife, and while the tool’s blades were sharp, it wasn’t faster or easier to use than a knife. The results were clear-and disappointing. We wanted to see if it could deliver on that promise. The Angurello Watermelon Slicer and Server promises to make quick, easy, and clean work of slicing and serving watermelon. We wanted to know whether this tool does a neater, faster, more consistent job of cutting and serving watermelon than a knife, so we put it to the test. To serve, you pinch the tongs around each slice or finger and lift it out. Once you’ve cut slices in one direction, you can also make a new set of cuts at a right angle to the original ones, producing rectangular fingers of melon. To use the tool, you insert it into a halved watermelon and guide it down and across the flesh in rows, creating mostly rind-less slices of consistent width. It’s essentially a set of tongs with two connected, parallel, crescent-shaped blades at one end. The Angurello Watermelon Slicer and Server by IPAC ($15.96) promises to make quick, easy, and clean work of slicing and serving watermelon. ![]()
