Starting point is 00:00:00 The Bia Rai, Embarked and Profite. Embarked and celebrate. Rigolet. Publié. Savour. Admirate. And profite. Via Rai, the voice that we love.
Starting point is 00:00:15 The Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite Plus card gives me 4% cash back on all of my monthly bills. With cash like that, I can upgrade my subscriptions to be ad-free. Because I've got enough. Distractions. Conditions apply. Scotia Bank, you're richer than you think. In this video, we're going to show you 50 ways to use a watermelon, with the methods getting crazier and crazier as the video moves on.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And at the end, we're even going to find out how many rubber bands it takes to explode a watermelon. We're going to start out simple, with a classic slice. But that's kind of boring. If you want a more exciting way to cut your watermelon, you could try this Pringles hack. Basically, you just take the top off and empty the chips out. And while he's doing that, I'm going to go ahead and cut off both ends of our watermelon here. Take your Pringles can and just go ahead and press that. right into the middle of the watermelon and push all the way down.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Oh! Oh! Whoa! Now we'll shake out our watermelon core. Do the honors. You know, I thought this would be such a stupid hack. Me too. But it went so crazy online, so we had to try it.
Starting point is 00:01:20 And this is what we're left with. Cheers. These next few watermelons we're going to show you are extremely rare. This one here is called the Midnight Watermelon. As you can see, when you compare it to a regular watermelon, there's really no pattern on this one at all. The skin on the outside is super dark. But Nick, as you know, it's what's on the inside that count.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Throughout the day, we're gonna just test out random tools that we bought online that work with watermelons. And that's why we're gonna slice into it. Ready? Yeah. Are we doing it the wrong way? No. No. Oh!
Starting point is 00:01:54 Whoa! This is insane. That's like the coolest tool ever. The thing I'm wondering is if it tastes different than a regular watermelon. It tastes exactly the same. Just as rare as that midnight watermelon is this yellow watermelon.
Starting point is 00:02:10 These are extremely hard to get. The flesh on the inside should be completely yellow. Whoa! That's insane! It's not just yellow, it's like vibrant, beautiful yellow. This is crazy. Tastes like regular watermelon. I'm so disappointed, I thought it was going to taste like a pineapple.
Starting point is 00:02:31 If the yellow watermelon blew your mind, wait till you see the orange watermelon. I know it doesn't look like much on the outside, but theoretically, when we cut into this thing, it should be a beautiful, vibrant orange. I'll believe it when I see it. see it. Here we go. It's orange. It looks like the sun. The sun's not orange. Isn't it? It tastes just like yellow watermelon. That tastes just like watermelon. Blue watermelon. We want to try to see if we can make
Starting point is 00:03:00 a blue watermelon. We've done orange. We've done yellow. We've done red. But we haven't done glue yet. Drill some holes. Did I do a good job? I think so. Dude, I could do this all day. Look at what we got when we drilled into it. It's a perfect flower. Can I take it to my mom? So the next step here is placing these blue sodas into the holes. So what is a watermelon drinking it? I think so. Okay. You can see it's already absorbing a lot of that liquid.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Whoa! Look at that! Keep watching because we're gonna come back and check on this in a little bit. This next one? Uh-huh. I'm very excited to show you. Cover your eyes. You like that?
Starting point is 00:03:38 Cover your eyes, please. Anyone watching right now, cover your eyes. Three, two, one, open your eyes. What? We gotta square watermelon, bro! Japan! No way! Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:03:52 This is one of the craziest things I've ever had in this kitchen. How did you get this here? Because you cannot bring fruits or vegetables from enough... Cut the tape, cut the tape. No, that is so nuts! These only grow a very certain part of the year, and the way they grow them is they force them to grow inside this square box, so they fit the shape of that box.
Starting point is 00:04:10 When you cut inside these, they're supposed to be yellow and red. What? You don't understand how many videos I've watched of square watermelons. I've been obsessed with square watermelons. square watermelon my entire life. Look how cute even the little stub on there is. Everything about this watermelon is utterly perfect. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I never thought I would see one in my life. The moment of truth, is it going to be yellow and red on the inside like all the other square watermelons or not? Ready? Yeah. Here we go. Cutting in. Oh, it feels good.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I really want to make sure we get the perfect slice with this thing. This is crazy. I cannot believe we're about to eat a square watermelon. You ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go. I can't wait. Three, two, one, go.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's cake! It's cake! Did I trick you? That looks like the most realest cake I've ever seen in my life. I tried so hard to get a real square watermelon, but it's impossible, and frankly, it's illegal. Instead, I got a watermelon cake. You had me.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I was so excited for a real square watermelon, but I'm probably a little more excited for this cake now. I'm a little more excited for what we're doing next. We already showed you with that cake how creative you can get with a watermelon, but this is even more creative. These are watermelon carvings, and as you can see, this is me and this is Gordon. Does it look like me? Yeah, it looks like you, and the detail on it is nuts. And also, why are you bigger than Gordon Ramsey?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Doesn't you have more subscribers in you? That's the problem. Currently, as you can see, my watermelon carving is larger than Gordon's here, but that's not how it is on YouTube. As you can see by this carving here, he is very happy. And that's because he's ahead of us in subscribers. But if you just go click that subscribe button right now, this smiley face right here will quickly turn upside down. I need your help to catch Gordon on YouTube. So I got an idea for this Gordon watermelon.
Starting point is 00:05:54 We're going to turn it into a watermelon sandwich. I like that idea. Oh, Gordon! I think Gordon would taste best as a Pee and J. Yeah, I agree. Yep. I'm going to go ahead and put jelly on this half of the watermelon. And I'm going to put a lot of peanut butter on this half of the bread.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You love peanut butter, huh? I love Gordon. I mean, you just... You just hurt him. Okay, he's still smiling because he has more subscribers in you right now Now that we've got the PB and J bowl spread out let's carefully lift this over across here Boom, let's go and this looks phenomenal Doesn't it? Yeah, it's so perfect who's the idiot sandwich now Gordon
Starting point is 00:06:32 I love it I had a little bit of complexity Mm-hmm and it kind of tastes like Gordon Ramsey too Here you go Gordon he's never gonna catch you you know what I think we need with these watermelon sandwiches some watermelon fries and we're not just making any ordinary watermelon fries. We're making crinkle cut fries. Ooh, my favorite. We'll slice open our watermelon, and then we need to make one large slice, just like this. Next, I'm going to just trim off all of that watermelon rind. And then it's time to crinkle cut. After we're done cutting all our fries, we got a beautiful plate of watermelon fries. That's a perfect crinkle cut fries. I
Starting point is 00:07:05 personally like to have mine with yogurt for dip, but you know what? We're still missing just one thing. Oh, watermelon seeds? We've been using watermelons all day, but we haven't even seen any seeds yet it's extremely hard to even find watermelons that actually have seeds in them nowadays but luckily i carry a few extra watermelon seeds in my back pocket this right here is what i call a nice square meal for the day how is it delicious the yogurt adds a beautiful touch to it and the watermelon pb and j is phenomenal you know like what i like to do with my sandwiches take some fries dip it in the sauce yeah place it on top of the sandwich what and there my friends that's the way you eat a sandwich And the watermelon seeds broke my teeth.
Starting point is 00:07:47 We've got quite a few leftovers here. So we're going to turn these into our next watermelon experiment. What's that? Watermelon yogurt park. First, I'm going to chop these up into little cubes. And while Patrick's doing that, I'm going to start prepping our yogurt. I will then start scooping these cubes into our bowl. And once we have enough, I can start mixing this up to make our nice watermelon yogurt mix.
Starting point is 00:08:07 We'll also add a few extra watermelon seeds into the mix. We didn't want you to have to sit around and wait. So we've actually already preysing this up. some of these nice frozen yogurt patties. But there is still one more step. We're gonna carefully dip our frozen yogurt watermelon into some chocolate. And the key is making sure you move fast
Starting point is 00:08:25 because the chocolate will very, very quickly melt that yogurt. Once they're frozen, we got this beautiful watermelon yogurt bark. Crunch. Oh, that's so good. Wow, and look at the inside. Look at the cross section of this. I can't complain.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Coming off of that delicious yogurt bark, we're gonna take some inspiration from our science buddy Mark. A little while back, he made this, really cool naked watermelon. And we want to see if we can do the exact same thing right now. Patrick is gonna take both sides of the watermelon and hollow them out so we have our watermelon shells. And on this side, I'm just trying to remove all of the white part
Starting point is 00:08:58 until I barely just sort of start seeing pink. Once my watermelon looks something like this, I'm gonna take a rough sponge, slowly shave it down and smooth it out on the outside with the ultimate goal that this is gonna perfectly fit just inside of Patrick's two shells. And just a few minutes later, we're getting closer to getting that perfect fit.
Starting point is 00:09:14 After the moment of truth. Here we go. Wow! It worked. Here it is. The naked watermelon. Aesthetically, it's perfect. You almost don't even want to cut into it.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Using some of the watermelon rindscraps from the naked watermelon, I have crafted a pair of watermelon shoes. We're going to see how many steps Patrick can take in these. What? I don't know how great those shoes will be, but those socks are going to be just fine. Oh no, the sandals broke! After all that fun in the sun, it's time for a fruit salad. Our beautiful fruit salad bowl is filled with watermelon, but it also has blueberries, gooseberries, and so much more. And I love gooseberries.
Starting point is 00:09:49 You've never had a gooseberry. No, I know. Whoa, very tardy, sweet. A hint of goose. Ugh. Let's turn this into a smoothie. Vienius. Go ahead and dump this into the blender.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Oh, don't forget the gooseberries, Nick. Then, just a little bit of yogurt. I think you first got to plug it in. Yeah. Pour it in. Throw that cup all the way to the top. top last but not least what pick a hand okay you got to pick one what we got umbrellas dude cheers with the umbrellas this is so fancy this isn't
Starting point is 00:10:44 fancy watermelon caviar is fancy first we're gonna measure out a third cup of watermelon juice toss that into a pan and then we'll heat it up until it just slowly begins to bubble and once it's nice and warm we're gonna go in with a quarter teaspoon of agger-agger powder if you've never heard of that it's basically just a seaweed powder that chefs use once in a while. Once the agra-agra powder has dissolved, it's time. This is a glass of oil that's been in the freezer for about one hour. All we have to do is put a few nice drops of our watermelon mixture in the top, and they should slowly fall into these perfect little circles. That looks insane. You want to try?
Starting point is 00:11:17 Yeah, can I try? Caviar is usually expensive, but if you want to make it at home, I guess this is an affordable option right here. And the coolest thing is you can make caviar with every fruit you could possibly think of. It's just a little bit of science. To finish the caviar, we're going to strain out all the oil. And once we give it a quick rinse, we're left with these beautiful watermelon pearls. Now as for how we use this watermelon caviar, it's time to make a bit of watermelon sushi. What?
Starting point is 00:11:41 It turns out you can turn watermelon into something that looks exactly like tuna. Oh, that looks insane. It also came with a seafood container. Looking at this is almost unbelievable. It is remarkably similar to fish. It also smells like tuna, which is mind-blowing. This was marinated in a bunch of Japanese ingredients for several days. That's how it achieves this soft and floppy, almost fish-like consistency that we have here.
Starting point is 00:12:04 But if you look closely enough, you can still tell it's watermelon. Yeah, all the seeds are still there. So to make a few pieces of nighiri, I'm just going to slice this fish at an angle, just as the Japanese sushi chefs do. That's insane how much this looks like tuna. Vegans rejoice. I'll do a nice, clean slice through the fish, and it's funny. As much as it looks like tuna, it still cuts sort of like watermelon. You see the white stuff in there?
Starting point is 00:12:28 Like, it's almost like the muckus. like the muscle or the fibers inside of a fish. To make our nigeri now grab a piece of fish, then wet your hand a little bit, grab a little bit of sushi rice. We wanna be nice and gentle with it so it doesn't compress too much and there's still air between all the grains of rice.
Starting point is 00:12:41 And you sort of touch down the inside of the fish itself. Go ahead and lay that across the top of your nigeri. And just like that, you have a beautiful piece of tuna nigeri. To finish these off, we have to put some watermelon caviar on top. I can't believe you could do something like this. This is 100% watermelon and rice. I don't think anyone's gonna believe you.
Starting point is 00:12:59 It looks too real. Let's see if it tastes too real. Wait a second. This tastes like sushi. I'm not even joking right now. This tastes like sushi. Yeah. Because of that marinade.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Yeah. We did something unbelievable here, Patrick. A blue watermelon would be even more unbelievable. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Take your guess. Did it work? I'm going to say yes. I'm going to say no.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Close your eyes. Please be blue, please, blue, please, blue, please, please, blue. This right here is the world's only piece of blue watermelon. That is blue. And even though that hack didn't work, luckily we have another one called the watermelon windmill. The way it's supposed to work is we run this tool all the way across the watermelon and it's supposed to cut out perfect watermelon squares. Oh, no way. Wait, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:13:50 So perfect. Look at that. We're not having to do any work. I know. This is effortless. I got to say, I think this device is probably cooler than the slicer that we used earlier on the midnight watermelon. Yeah, I agree. Once we're left with all these nice little watermelon cubes, we're going to do two different things with them.
Starting point is 00:14:05 up are these watermelon fetus skewers. Maybe you've thrown them on the grill at some point at home, but even though they may look simple, they are delicious. And as a finishing touch, we're going to go ahead and garnish this with some fresh mint. This is definitely nice, but the other way to use the cubes, I find to be a lot more creative. Another use for the cubes that we got are watermelon ice cubes. And we're going to quickly move on to actually use these ice cubes for something. We'll take it to the next level by making fruit-infused water. We're going to toss in our ice cubes. Covering. Oh! So what you do is you go like this. All we do now is fill it to the top with water, then close our lid, and we're left with this amazing watermelon infused water.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Wait, why don't we just make watermelon juice? The way this works is actually simple. We're going to cut a hole on top of the watermelon, just big enough to fit in our immersion blender. And once it's loose, we're going to go ahead and move the top. And that hole should be just big enough that we can fit this immersion blender into the top. That's perfect. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness, dude.
Starting point is 00:15:05 All you really have to do is just spin the version blender around and it turns everything inside this watermelon into juice. Ooh! Now that our entire watermelon has been juiced, we'll pour this in. Oh my God. And now that our watermelon is hollow, it's time for the next hack.
Starting point is 00:15:19 We're basically going to turn this watermelon into a drink dispenser. And once I make the perfect hole, I'm going to go ahead and insert the spell. And then on the other end, I'm going to come with this little screw on the inside so it holds it in place. How does it feel? Now we can actually put back in the juice.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Perfect, perfect. And we can place it in the lid. That's so awesome. And here it is our delicious watermelon tap. We still haven't even done the most exciting part. How nice is that? We have one more great use for the watermelon tap. If you want to make a refreshing summer meal,
Starting point is 00:15:55 you can actually make an amazing watermelon noodle pool. As you can see, we still have plenty of watermelon juice left in our watermelon tap. At which point, I'm going to just put in these macha noodles. And that's really it. We're left with this unique and creative noodle bowl. You know what? That's actually not that bad. Is it good?
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah, it has that hint of watermelon and the green matra. I'll be back. Thank you. We still have some left-over watermelon juice, so now we're going to be making watermelon soda. First, we're going to just go ahead and pour the watermelon juice into the bottle. Once we filled this up to the line, Patrick's going to go ahead and lock this in. And then we just crank it down, right?
Starting point is 00:16:33 Yeah, this is scary. You've got to be a little more gentle. It's a light. I went hard. Hear that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Watermelon soda. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:17:02 Let's put on our lab coats. I want to carbonate a whole watermelon now, not just the juice. Ooh, let's do it. This is going to take a little time. To begin, Patrick's going to fill this red cooler with a bunch of dry ice. And once we have a nice layer on the bottom, I'm going to bring these to the edge. And then I'll cover it up with towels so we protect our watermelon. Once our dry ice is prepped, we're going to go ahead and add in our sliced watermelon.
Starting point is 00:17:22 It might sound crazy that these are going to get carbonated. But as you can see, the reason we're wearing lab coats is there's a little bit of science happening here. So what happens is that the dry ice, the air in the dry ice goes into the watermelon and then it gets, and then it fizzes the watermelon. Should we just, it gets carbonated. The key is we cannot put these latches down because if we do, the gas can build up and explode. You said you have insurance? That means that the only final step to prepping our carbonated watermelon is to wrap this entire cooler in plastic wrap.
Starting point is 00:17:58 What this is going to do is hold all of that gas inside this little chamber here, forcing it into the watermelon. And hopefully, when we open this in a bit, that watermelon is going to have a bunch of bubbles. We're going to go ahead and put this off to the side and come back to this later. Continuing on in our journey of science,
Starting point is 00:18:11 we're going to make some liquid nitrogen ice cream. So here's how this is going to go down. First, we need to make our ice cream mix. We're going to go in with very simply some melted vanilla ice cream. Next, we've made some fresh watermelon juice. And I'm going to start mixing. You stop when you feel like we have enough watermelon flavor. I think that's good right there. Beautiful. So we've
Starting point is 00:18:29 essentially made watermelon melted ice cream right now. Precisely. Now we're about to do the real science. I'm going to slowly pour in the liquid nitrogen. As I pour it into there, it's going to turn miraculously from this liquid that we have right now into ice cream. Okay, so now I'm going to lower in the whisk. I'm going to start off at a very low speed. Here we go. Careful. No way. This is amazing. You can see after our first pour, it has thicken up a lot. I think this is one of the coolest things that we've ever cooked. That's it. We're good. That's nuts. I mean if that's not ice cream, I don't know what it is. It's been a pleasure doing science with you, Patrick. It's the best. We even did it in a heart shape for all the subscribers since we love them so much. Uh-huh. I think it tastes better off the whisk.
Starting point is 00:19:20 This looks perfect. This looks amazing. It could look a little better if we give it a topic. How about some freeze-dried watermelon? This one's gonna be really simple. I think. This one's gonna be really simple. Patrick and I bought a very expensive freeze dry machine. Can you Venmo me? Yeah, I'll do it later. Patrick is going to cut this now into some nice cubes, which hopefully if our freeze dry machine actually works, we'll turn into these beautiful freeze dried watermelon cubes. And once we've fully filled up one of our freeze dry trays, I'm going to toss that right into our freeze dry machine. A couple hours later, fast forward to our perfectly freeze dried watermelon.
Starting point is 00:19:52 The watermelon has become really light and almost fluffy. Try one. That's delicious. What's about the astronaut tea. We're going to crumble it onto the top of our ice cream. And to finish it off, we're going to add in some chocolate chips to give it that watermelon seed look. Now that looks good. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Let's take a nice good scoop of this. Whoa. Good? Oh. Brain freeze? Mm-hmm. We can take the lab coats off. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Going off the theme of freeze drying, let's dehydrate. A while back I saw Max the Meekai make these watermelon Doritos. So the way this one works is actually really simple. All we have to do. do is cut our watermelon into nice thin strips like this and once I do that Patrick is going to take this triangle mold and just cut some triangles out of the watermelon so the next part's easy now that we have our watermelon slices we're going to lay them across our dehydrator here sprinkle it with my favorite
Starting point is 00:20:45 seasoning taking a nice even layer on there and then when that's finished we'll put the next rack on top of our dehydrator and repeat once it's all stacked up we're just gonna go ahead and pop the cover on and just turn on our dehydrator now we just wait for seven hours fast forward They're done. That was easy. This looks dangerously similar to a Dorito. You know what's missing is we need some salsa.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Watermelon salsa. First thing I'm gonna do is go ahead and throw in some mint leaves. And I'll follow that with a little bit of chopped red onion. Every good salsa comes with some jalapinos. And you can't miss out on the cilantro. Although I know it might taste like soap to some of you. Not me though.
Starting point is 00:21:24 No. Lime juice for some nice acidity. And to finish, go ahead with the salt. I think you need to charge your salt. Salt and my secret ingredient that I sometimes like to put in my salsas a little soy sauce That's interesting. Let's mix that up making sure everything is nice and even decoded and to finish Let's put it on to the chips. This is amazing Whoa no seriously whoa yeah tastes like Doritos so much flavor that soy sauce comes through so perfectly and with all these extra scraps that we've saved up from our watermelon so far let's make some shaved ice
Starting point is 00:21:58 So if you're wondering what this is it's a an ice crusher and we're going to use it to make watermelon shaved ice all you do is simply add in some frozen watermelon and push down to start shaving it oh i have to say now that we've put it in a bowl this looks a lot more like watermelon sorbet but i guess they are the same thing very pure it's very pure i feel healthy it's not very sweet not at all this is just frozen watermelon shaved up that's it but it tastes so much less sweet than biting into a piece of regular water which i kind of prefer let's use this to make something else if we simply fill up a blender our leftover watermelon shaped ice we can use it to make a delicious watermelon icy give
Starting point is 00:22:40 this a nice boost of flavor we're gonna add a little bit of mint oh love the smell of you know what you do to activate mint wake it up what cheese it's activated can you uh activate me we're gonna add in just a little bit of that watermelon juice i love how you can see all the little it's okay it's okay sorry what i was gonna say is i love how you can see all the little specks of mint in there. It looks delicious. Yeah, it looks amazing. Cheers. Mm. Mm. Way better than the shaved dice. Now I'm going to go activate everything in my life. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what's that? Oh, God. If you can't already tell from the label, we bought a soft serve machine. You got it? Yeah. We got our water and we got our watermelon soft serve mix, and all we got to do is just mix these two together.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I'm going to make a vortex. Oh, look at it. Oh, look at it. That's the color change it smells like watermelon bubble gum yeah I'm gonna transfer the liquid lit on show time so once this is at 100% our ice cream is ready to come out 25% 50 75% we're getting there come on come on buddy get there let's go we're ready to fill we're you crazy that is so awesome no way What would have thought? Aside from the fact that the soft serve actually looks perfect. I love the fact that we have these chocolate chip watermelon seats. We can open a shop with these. Yeah, you're right. Seriously. Holding this makes me feel like I'm sitting in a field in the middle of the summer. Surrounded by horses. No horses. Oh, mm. This is amazing. Have you ever been to Disney? Yeah, I have. Have you had Dol Whip? Yes. This is watermelon dolewip.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Patrick, Patrick, uh, you know what we need to complete our summer experience? What? Popsicles. Let's do it. First thing's first. Watermelon into a blender. Fun fact, while we're doing this, do you know what percentage of a watermelon is actually water? 80?
Starting point is 00:25:22 It's actually 92% water. So we're just eating water. That's why it's called a watermelon. Oh. Let's go. All right. We're going to go ahead and fill up our popsicle mold. About three quarters of the way full.
Starting point is 00:25:37 We need to leave room for the rest of the watermelon popsicles because they're going to be green. So it looks like a watermone. This is literally the easiest. best thing to make for the summer. I totally agree. Anything with watermelon, you can't go wrong. We're going to get fancy. We're going to put some mini baby chocolate chips in there for the watermelon seeds. That's awesome. Now at this point, we want to freeze these for a little bit and then stick the popsicle sticks in. The next layer, which is going to represent that little white part between the watermelon rind and the actual watermelon is some coconut milk. And finally,
Starting point is 00:26:05 we have the perfect watermelon pop. Oh, no way! It's insane how perfect these look, right? You got the kiwi layer, you got the coconut layer, and then you got the majority, It just resembles it so well. Look at that. Hmm, perfect. Let's make something even sweeter though. This next one is called Korean sugar syrup, and the good thing about it is it only takes two ingredients. All you have to do is layer sugar and the fruit of your choice back and forth in a glass container.
Starting point is 00:26:32 We are, of course, using watermelon. And the greatest thing about this hack is that it does all the work for you. I've already personally tried it with strawberries and dragon fruit, and this is my third time making it. Once we've topped it off, I'll close this up, and it's super. Super easy. This just goes in the fridge for one week. We made a little bit ahead of time too. Smart.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Let's open it up. Get ready for the smell. Smells like watermelon. It really doesn't have that big of it. Yeah, it just smells like watermelon. All right, well, wait. Just wait a second. It's broken down into this really soft and squishy and almost sort of taffy-like consistency. It's not bad. It tastes like a watermelon sugar pickle.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Exactly. Yeah. Wow. You're good at this. Yeah. Have you thought about YouTube? Now with this Korean sugar syrup, there are a ton of different uses. The color of this is super nice too.
Starting point is 00:27:30 So vibrant. But we're gonna make lollipops. Watermelon lollipops. This green contraption here is a lollipop mold. And we're simply gonna take our droppers and then carefully fill up our molds. Once they've all been filled all the way up to the top, we'll carefully place in our lollipop sticks. This looks awesome. That looks amazing.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Here's the finished product. A perfect watermelon lollipop. Lollipops are cool, but you know what's even cooler? We're gonna make some watermelon ton of. Tungulu. I've made Tongulu so many times now that I don't even measure anymore. I just add a bunch of sugar and a little bit of water into a pot and then we'll cook this down into our Tung Hulu liquid.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Once our sugar reaches that perfect temperature, it's time to dip. I have this little method where I tilt the pan to the side like this, gives you extra dipping space. Smart. All we have to do is take our watermelon cubes and carefully dip that into our sugar and straight into our ice bath. We'll know we've done this properly if we have a perfect, beautiful, shiny, glazed layer on the outside of our watermelon cubes.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Cheers. Can I have yours? Next up, we're making one of my personal favorites, watermelon fruit leather. Nick, you've made this a million times. We have to do it again? To be fair, I think I've probably made fruit leather out of every single fruit in this world. Yeah, we all know. We might not have made fruit leather today, but we'll move on to a hack that uses fruit leather.
Starting point is 00:28:49 We're starting off with some fruit by the foot. Brings back childhood memories. The sweet flavor of all natural and non-artificial watermelon. 100% organic. We'll bring back in some of these parts. of these party sticks from earlier in the video. Now you just take that fruit roll up and we're gonna go ahead and wrap our watermelon.
Starting point is 00:29:08 You shabuzzle it, you know what I mean? No. Oh, it fits perfectly. Same here, look at that. Oh, come on. Look at it. I think mine looked better. It does look a lot better.
Starting point is 00:29:18 And now we're just gonna take a clean plate and pouring some of that chamois. What is in Chimoy for people that don't know? I don't know what's in Chimoy. It's a condiment that basically is just filled with different dried fruits and chili peppers. Now we're gonna take our watermelon just dip it into the Chamoy sauce.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Make sure you cover all sides. Make sure to do the top. People forget the top. As the finishing touch, we're gonna sprinkle Tahin all across our Mexican watermelon. Can't forget the top. You can't forget the top. You can't forget the top.
Starting point is 00:29:44 We almost forgot the top. And as our last step, to level up our Mexican watermelon, we wanna squeeze some lemon on top of that. Bon Appetit. Cheers. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Mmm. Let's make two more. Instead of making more Mexican watermelon, let's make some watermelon cotton candy. This is our watermelon sugar. And when we're ready, we turn it on and now we wait. It's like we're at the carnival. So how do you do this? Never made cotton candy.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I've never made cotton candy in my life. Is that a common thing? Just watch, okay? Whoa, it looks like spider webs. See it? You can see it just sort of very quickly forms as loose fiber around the edge of it. We go in and we just keep spinning. Collect all of the cotton candy.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Look at that. Now it's going. See how it's going fast now? And then we're really, we're just good now at this point. Oh, look at that. Gorgeous, right? That is beautiful. Watermelon cotton candy.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Here I go. Go quick, quick, because the sugar's building up on the edge. Oh boy, baby. Yes, yes. No, no, watch this. Super simple. A little more gradual spin, a little higher up. Oh, higher up.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Oh, you're right. I could do this all day. Yeah. Look how mine came out. What are you doing? A little bit of a fun fact for you here, Patrick. This sugar, it's called unicorn bacon. What a great name.
Starting point is 00:31:07 It's all the collected sugar on the side, and it's nice and crunchy and has kind of a unique texture to it. That's crunchy. Yeah. This is good as the con candy. Patrick, I have even more watermelon sweets for us. Remember that hack a while ago when everyone was making honey jelly? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Watermelon bottle jelly. Inside these bottles is corn syrup and watermelon juice. I've shaken it up and we've frozen it for a little bit. And if I squeeze mine here, it should go straight up. I need your help. Three, two, one. That's so sick. Nice.
Starting point is 00:31:49 What's better? The cotton candy or are these? That's a tough one, but I'm going to go with the cotton candy. We're going from jelly to gel low. Oh, I didn't want to wait for the jello to actually set, so I made this ahead of time. We turned the entire thing into watermelon juice. We added gelatin, and now it should be jello. So if I cut into this, there's jello.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I hope so. Go ahead. All right. Oh, my. Patrick. Why would you cut it like that? Oops. I made back off.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Oh okay. But it is Jello. Yeah, it is definitely Jell-Loh, and it smells like watermelon. You hear that? Why don't I cut this time? Oh, you got a better one, okay, cool. Ooh, oh, look at that.
Starting point is 00:32:30 That's so cool. And you could see like the watermelon. Yeah, let me get another slice, so we can be buddies. Sorry for ruining your last watermelon. That's fine. This is just a fun thing to make and a fun thing to see. You know what this reminds me of? Going to birthday parties as a kid.
Starting point is 00:32:45 We also had pizza. This next one might upset some Italians. We're making watermelon pizza. So we're just gonna cut out a thick slice out of our watermelon. Just be careful when doing it. Don't do it like Nick. I'll place that on top of the pizza pan. Start off with the pizza sauce.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Spread it right around. Not too much, but not too little either. Fun fact, I used to work at Domino's Pizza when I was younger. So he knows how to make a good pie. Next up, we'll go on with some low moisture, mozzarella cheese. And of course, we can't forget about the pepperoni's. I like it when it's a little more spread.
Starting point is 00:33:15 kind of, you know, haphazardly. Yeah, well, at Domino's, a medium pizza had 28 pepperoni's. I want to argue with you on the placement and how much you put here, but I'm not going to- It's amazing. Because you worked at Domino's, I'm not going to. We're going to finish this off with some fresh mint, as opposed to basil.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Mint works so much better with a watermelon. Gorgeous. And as a finishing touch, I'm going to go in with some salt. And a tiny little drizzle of all of all. Oh, that looks so amazing. Into the oven at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. After a few minutes our pizza is ready. You know call me crazy but the watermelon pizza looks good. You're not crazy It cuts really well. Yeah, yeah yeah. The one thing I will say is we didn't quite fully milk the cheese on here, but otherwise
Starting point is 00:33:58 It looks amazing Patrick. Cheers. Yeah I'm a big crushed guy, so Compared to a regular pizza, it's juicier. What about compared to pineapple pizza? I say this is a little bit better and what exactly? You might be wondering what we do with these crusts? Well, you can make pickled watermelon Ryan like my mom always loves to do at home or you can make sour gummy worms. Oh my favorite. We're going to take off just that white part that's sort of in between the rind and the water miller. It should look something like this. That is then going to be cut into little strips that look like gummy worms. Instead of using a knife to peel, which is going to be very slow, we have a little trick, don't we? A box grater. And that's just taking off all the outside layer that we don't want to eat and leaving just the green part that we can turn into gummy worms.
Starting point is 00:34:42 And fast forward to us polishing it off here, that is our naked watermelon. So now that we got rid of the part we can eat we're gonna go ahead and slice off the thin layer of that rind this watermelon looks crazy yeah and then all we're doing now is turning it into more strips boom now to actually make these all we need to do is add a little bit of water to a pan our watermelon rinds then some blue raspberry starburst jello what a weird ingredient but this is what you do we should have got watermelon flavor yeah that would have been smart and just a little bit of sugar perfect then on goes our burner and we bring this to a boil. Once it boils, we want to let this keep going until it becomes nice and tender.
Starting point is 00:35:25 It's looking pretty tender to me. On to a plate, I'm going to go ahead and put in some sugar. And for that super sour taste that you get when you taste any sour candy, we're also going to lightly dust on some citric acid. Roll it all around. Get them nice and sour. They look like worms. They're soft, they're squishy. Can you be the mommy bird and I be the baby bird and you feed me worms? Wow. It tastes just like a gummy worm. Mm-hmm. Ooh, it's sour though. as it may seem that we just made a pizza and gummy worms from watermelon, we're going to do something even worse. Using the leftover watermelon we have from the gummy worms, let's make watermelon ham. We are going to basically throw this ham on a grill in a smoker and just let it go until it turns into sort of a meat. So first up, all we have to do is simply go across the entire watermelon and score it. The idea is we want to make it look like one of those sort of classic holiday hamps.
Starting point is 00:36:17 This is going to give us that nice texture and also when it smokes, it's going to let more flavor get into those little cracks. Yeah, we're creating basically more surface area. You're going to see, too, when this is finished cooking, this is going to be a lot smaller if we've done it properly. Yeah. But probably about half the size. Now I'm just going to go ahead and lightly season this with some salt. We can't forget about the garlic powder must have on any ham.
Starting point is 00:36:37 And last but all these, I'm going with just a little bit of that chilly powder. A little? This looks good. That looks amazing. It looks like a nice, spiced, flavorful ham. Ready? Yeah. Grill time.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Let's go. The fire might have been a little too much at one point, but it came out looking pretty darn good. As you guys could tell, we placed some clothes on top of the ham just to give it that classic look. It's done. Oh, that looks insane. It looks good.
Starting point is 00:37:00 I can't believe we just made watermelon ham. And you can actually tell definitely depleted a lot. It's about 50% of the size that it was before. Do the honors, Patrick. Oh, here I go. Come on, come. Give us ham. Definitely tender.
Starting point is 00:37:16 I'd say it's more in the rare than medium rare side. Yeah, it seems like that. Cut me a slice if you don't mind. Cut me a slice. I got you. Thank you, sir. Yeah, I'm going to cut myself a slice too. It looks like a really rare slash raw roast beef.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Definitely raw. It's tender. Yeah, very tender. It feels like meat. If we close our eyes, right? Uh-huh. Could you tell that this wasn't a big floppy cut of meat? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:41 For me, I don't even like ham to begin with. I'd rather make some chicken. Chicken? We're going to make what's called the chicken in a watermelon. And believe it or not, this recipe was actually first posted by the New York Times as an April Fool's joke. That's a good joke. Yeah, but now we're doing it for real. I'm going to start off giving this a nice massage while Nick pours over that marinade. Really massage that in there. Get all that marinade in every nook and cranny. Once it's marinated, I'm going to go ahead and put this
Starting point is 00:38:06 in one half of that watermelon. This is crazy. This is crazy. A little bit of extra marinade on top, this for good measure. Gently close it all up. It fits perfectly. I think we're ready to bake. Let's do it. Into the oven, we go. A few hours later, our chicken should be done. The juice that came out in this. It is insane. And the kitchen smells amazing. It smells fantastic. Oh, you see that steam?
Starting point is 00:38:30 Oh my goodness. It's been stewing inside this thing. There's so much liquid. It smells so good. Yeah, you're right. Is it like a bite? Yes, please. Perfectly cooked.
Starting point is 00:38:42 And it looks juicy. It is literally just flaking right apart. The key is to also dip it in that liquid on the outside that sort of came off the outer watermelon. That gives it this sort of beautiful dark shimmer. That is amazing. It just slid off. Look at that meat.
Starting point is 00:39:02 It is fall apart tender. This is a big win, Patrick. Before we find out how many rubber bands it takes to explode a watermelon, we just celebrate a little bit. Let's start our celebration with some watermelon cupcakes. Super easy to make, by the way. Only a couple ingredients. This goes in to our cupcake wrapper.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Then whipped cream. Nice and slowly around the cupcake. Oh, that's beautiful. Now we're going to top it off with some watermelon seeds or just chocolate chips. And I gotta say, these cupcakes look pretty good. Well, not yours, but this one looks pretty good. Hey.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I feel bad enough that yours looks like that, then I'm just gonna let you take a good bite of mine. Thank you. Go ahead. Be gentle. Mmm. Look at that cross-section. Whip cream, watermelon? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:39:43 You can't get any better than that. Or can you? Wait right here. One more surprise before we do the coolest stuff of the entire day. This is insane. It's a watermelon cake. We've got some pineapple on there, some strawberries, some brown.
Starting point is 00:39:55 some blackberries and raspberries. This is so beautiful. I would have this at my wedding. Oh, you got a watermelon knife. Perfect. Let's take a nice clean slice out of the side. D-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. It's just watermelon, though. We know what this is going to taste like.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Yeah. We don't know what the carbonated watermelon is going to taste like. As you probably remember, our carbonated watermelon has been sitting in the background this entire video, and now it's time to taste it. Moment of truth. Part of the reason we're wearing our safety goggles
Starting point is 00:40:25 is because, as you can see, There's been quite a bit of pressure that's built up around the edge of this cooler. And we don't want any explosions in our face. Hopefully not. Three, two, one. Ha ha ha. Oh, wait. Sizzling. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:40:49 It's pretty cool, right? That's awesome. Like, more carbonated than a drink. Yeah, it's so carbonated, listen to my mouth. We've tested out a lot of things in this video. We did just about every single watermelon experiment that we could possibly think of. But there's just one question left. How many?
Starting point is 00:41:10 How many rubber bands does it take to explode a watermelon? Let's find out. One, two, three. We gotta go faster than this. Six. Nine. 14. Oh! Should we just fast forward?
Starting point is 00:41:26 Yeah, let's not bore the people. That's fast forward. Oh, okay. 487, 489. One second, one second. Okay, we gotta keep going. 492. 499?
Starting point is 00:41:40 500. 5001 oh 5003 504 505-05-3 504 505 no 515 no I'm freaking out oh my god 517 528 531 that's 531 rubber bands and it still hasn't done much it's curved yeah yeah I see it I see it curved I could feel stuff Please go subscribe so we can catch Gordon.
