Is this the same poster who asked "How do you serve food, if you have a pool?" Or something to that effect?

However you do it, make sure you mutter "I carried a watermelon" a la Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing. Rebellious dance instructors dig that.

I strap mine to the hood of my car, and take it for a quick dip in the car wash.


I personally like to take it out during torrential summer rainstorms. Nothing like organically washed watermelon!

Cut it in the shape of wedges and stick an ice cream stick( you may need to make a slit in the rind first) . Stick these on a styrofoam board, place it at the bottom of a clean cooler and weigh it down with ice.

Salmonella contamination can get on the watermelon rind, then when you cut the watermelon, the knife brings the salmonella to the flesh of the melon.

So whatever you do, be sure to rise the watermelon (whole) first, in a clean sink, and scrub the rind with a produce brush.

Then cut. I would bring a knife, a cutting board, and cut the watermelon at the location. Then you don't need to keep it cool.

If you cannot do that, cut it into quarters; slice each quarter, and then wrap up the quarters in aluminum foil or saran wrap and place in your cooker on ice.


This is very doable and IMO the easiest transport solution


Lol.op was talking about putting the sliced water melon directly into the cooler. Do you think she really cares about contaminating of the rind?

Gallon sized ziploc bags inthe cooler. Cut the slices in half so they fit better.

Canteloupes at least? If not google listeria/salmonella + fruit of choice that grows on ground. Not mocking you, giving you some well meant advice because I work in this field.
