Whats the best way to store watermelon in the fridge?
I have half a watermelon and want to know how it will stay the longest
Answers:
Good question...what the wife and I usually do is take the watermelon and cut it in half and scoop it out with an ice cream scoop so you have round balls of watermelon and we pour the juice inside a boul with the watermelon and stick it in the fridge and it lasts a long time.
Cover it in plastic wrap. Or you could cut it up, and store it in a tupperware type container. Thats what I usually do.

cut it up and put it in a container
suran wrap or aluminum foil
Wrap it in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Or keep it in an air tight container, but I wouldn't recommend this since it might get a weird taste.
well the best way is to chop it up into smaller pieces and store it in a tupple ware container, but wrapping it in foil works well as well.
The answer's in the question...
Okay, about a week, if you follow the advice of the other answers.
Just cover the exposed part in plastic wrap. That's what I do and it stays fresh for a pretty long time.
Either cut from the rind & store in a sealable container or wrap half in saran wrap & set on a layer of newspaper in the bottom of the fridge. It will keep for a few days either way.
1. wrap it in some plastic wrap.
2. open refrigerator door.
3. place melon in fridge.
4. close door.
As mentioned, cover it with plastic wrap or put pieces in sealed containers to prevent the automatic defrost action from drying it out.
