dad vs watermelon
(i0.wp.com)
The trick is finding a melon the same size as your pan lid
It's a potentially viable if imperfect way to cover the exposed surface of the watermelon is this really a question?
This move is one in a melon.
That dad has it right. Tin foil or put it upside down on a plate. Fuck using plastic on foods.
Yes, except tinfoil is also bad for the environment, it's just that plastic is what's getting attention these days.
People keep their bagels in the fridge?
Probably depends where you get them from. Costco bagels mold in a matter of days.
Thomas branded bagels are sometimes good months after they "expire".
My wife still tries to if I let her put away groceries, and admittedly they to get moldy fast sometimes. Heating them does undo some of the staleness, though I'd prefer to just eat them all asap after purchase.
Seems like a good way to help prevent it drying out without using disposable plastic
In Danish we just call it "luftkim" aka "airborne bacteria". Sure, a fridge at 7°C might prevent the bacteria from groving, but it doesn't stop it from existing.
On the one hand, sure. In the other hand, isn't that why we soak the melon with vodka like this??
That's preferable. It's the reason why pickle or just in general try to make it as an inhospitable place for bacteria as possible. But even alcohol given oxygen and the right airborne bacteria can turn to vinegar.

Gross
It deserves a hat for all it's hard work
Seems logical to me
I might try this, the cling wrap sucks for that.
They make silicone covers and wax covers that are reusable
We have little shower caps for stuff like this.
With something as big as a watermelon, a full-size shower cap would probably work best.
The green yellow or green ones would both fit
It's to keep the exposed surface from drying out.
Most people do it with a plastic wrap which they then throw away and polite the environment with.
..polite the environment..
Do they give it a sincere "Good day to you!"?
Give the environment a little plastic present, as a treat
On one hand, the plastic one works. This one doesn't.
On the other wand, there's that entire politeness problem.
Just got to have a wand like Bellatrix Lestrange's then.
No politeness there..
Watermelon soup.
