You can store a whole uncut watermelon out of the fridge for 7-10 days.

But with the warm summer weather we’ve been having, a frosty cool watermelon is even nicer.

Given the size of watermelons, these take quite some time to chill in the fridge – and quite a bit of space!

The solution:

Slice your watermelon into smaller pieces and place it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes for a refreshing, chilled treat.

If you need to store cut slices in the fridge, put them in an airtight container. Watermelons are absorbent and you don’t want them taking on other fridge odours.
