1. How do I cut watermelon like fries?

I slice off both ends of the watermelon to stabilize it, then cut it into thick slabs. From there, I slice each slab into long, even sticks that look just like fries.

2. Is fried watermelon a thing?

Yes, it is! I tried it at a street food stall in Thailand, and the crispy tempura-like coating with juicy watermelon inside was surprisingly delicious.

3. What dip goes well with watermelon?

I love serving watermelon fries with coconut lime dip or strawberry yogurt dip. They’re both light, creamy, and enhance the fruit’s natural sweetness.

4. What does deep-fried watermelon taste like?

It’s a mix of crunchy and juicy, with a slightly caramelized flavor from the frying process. It’s unique and worth trying at least once.

5. How do chefs cut watermelon?

Most chefs use a sharp chef’s knife to get clean, even slices. Some also use a serrated knife for extra control, especially with larger melons.

6. How do I choose a crispy watermelon?

I look for one with a creamy yellow field spot, a hollow sound when tapped, and a symmetrical shape. These signs usually mean it’s ripe and firm.

7 . Does watermelon juice increase testosterone?

There’s no solid proof that it directly increases testosterone, but it does contain citrulline, which is known for improving blood flow and overall wellness.

8. What’s the best knife to use to cut a watermelon?

A sharp, heavy chef’s knife is my favorite tool. It gives clean cuts and makes slicing through thick watermelon rind much easier.
