Keep whole and cut watermelon fresh before serving it at home or at an event.
A whole watermelon can sit at room temperature for a short time, but cooler storage protects texture and flavor in Texas heat.
For the best eating experience, chill the melon before slicing. Cold watermelon tastes sweeter and cuts cleaner.
Once cut, watermelon should be covered and refrigerated. Use clean containers and keep it cold until serving.
For outdoor events, stage watermelon in coolers with ice or cold packs and slice close to serving time when possible.
Order ahead and coordinate pickup around when you plan to serve.
