How to store cut watermelon?
Cut watermelon can generally be stored in the refrigerator. Put the cut watermelon in the refrigerator for refrigerated storage. It can be stored for three to five days without deterioration. Many people will put a layer of cling film on when storing, but it should be noted that the cling film should be a PE film produced by a regular manufacturer. When using cling film, try not to touch the covered surface with your hands. Do not choose cling film with poor air permeability and water permeability.
In addition, cut watermelons will stay fresher if stored in cold water. If you don’t have a refrigerator at home, you can take a basin, add fresh cold water, and then put the cut watermelons into the basin to soak. Change the water again after the water temperature comes up to ensure the fresh taste of the watermelon.
However, no matter how it is stored, the cut watermelon should be eaten as soon as possible, no longer than 24 hours, and it is best not to eat watermelon that has been left overnight.
In general, there are many ways to cut watermelon. The above cutting methods are very convenient and beautiful, and are most suitable for entertaining guests. In addition, you can store uneaten watermelon in the refrigerator after cutting it, but be careful not to store it for too long.
