- Today we are making and eating smoked watermelon. Lots of requests for this video and quite frankly I was super curious as to what it tasted like. After it was all said and done there are a few things I would have done differently. The flavor was great and this would have been AMAZING had it been a piece of pork but as you will see in the video our thoughts on this interesting culinary invention.
Check out my kids’ reactions to this food at the end as well as mine and Cecelia’s.

In the Original recipe I believe that Ducks Eatery used Salt, Oregano, Oak Ash, and Coriander but we though we would SPICE IT UP for our version!!!
Recipe for the cure/Brine: Basically, you can do what ever you want!!
Weigh the watermelon multiply the weight of the watermelon by each percentage..
2.5% salt
1.5% Brown Sugar
1% mustard Seed
.45% coriander Seed
.36% all spice
.36% ground ginger
3 bay leaves
5 cloves
4 juniper berries
2 cinnamon sticks
.45% pepper flakes
1 Tablespoon of oak ash (optional)
Peel the watermelon. Make the brine. After the brine cools place the watermelon in the brine for 3 days. Remove from the brine and wash off the spices. Place back in the fridge for 12 hours on a rack to dry. In a smoker with Applewood smoke, smoke on low heat 130-150 for 4 hours then raise the temp to 190 for another 4 hours. Remove from heat, score the top of the watermelon, and prepare watermelon gravy. In a cast iron skillet add your watermelon juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, and 1 rosemary branch. Let cook till it starts reducing. Place your watermelon in the skillet and baste your sauce over it. Remove watermelon and add 2 tablespoons of flour to your skillet. Stir well to form a watermelon gravy. It should start to thicken up.
Serve and enjoy…

what a great daughter! .. eating it despite obviously gagging....
Absolutely. She's a trooper.
For sure. I dont know any kid that would do that. They would have spit it out.
The little boy looked like he kinda enjoyed it.
I detect a accent but cant figure out from where ??
Nice family!!
spitters are quitter.
Lisa are too good to leave the table
@@bilibiliism that’s what SHE said 🙄
I love the reaction of the children. The girl looks like her mom and the boy his dad...adorable
Son: *giving constructive criticism*
Daughter: "EUGH"
I'm so with the daughter on this one. She was trying to prepare her palate by sniffing but the tastebuds were like "Naw we're not THAT hungry." 😂😂😂
The kids are adorable! The son is so cute the way he's describing it. So grownup sounding😊
Person: how do u like ur watermelon
Me: very rare
Me too!
Wow I’m not the only one
Plz send this to Gordon Ramsey
The daughter gags. I nod in agreement. I feel ya, kiddo.
The kiddos' reactions were priceless, lol! Thank you guys for reaffirming my decision to never ever ever try this.
It looks like that scene in 'dances with wolves' where they rip out the liver of a bison and offer it lol
I'm sorry for your daughter. I can't watch her suffer tasting that lol
"Your taking me out for a stake after this" lol
I enjoyed your confidence as you raised the gravy and your childrens reactions and explanation were awesome🥰
I'd be curious how this would be if you dehydrated it! Dehydrated watermelon is AWESOME if you have never tried it! Really like cotton candy, but strangely refreshing!
Oh wow, that sounds awesome. Trying it this weekend!!!
Great feedback, thanks for the info.
Stumbled across this video, so funny to watch the kids react to this, I had to laughed, your wife is adventurous, lol, I would never get my fiancé to try that haha, great family video. 🙏🏽
LOL Yeah, it was wild!!
That girl is like:”Omg....Wat the hell is this?”
Be sure to share with your kids that there is a correlation between a persons ability to try new foods and their intelligence. Good on them, the kids i know arent as adventurous
What an excellent point. I'll be sure to share that with them. My daughter started making videos with her brother eating some of the strange and exotic fruits from where we live. The noni and the nance video was hilarious!! Thanks for the comment.
ahahaha that poor wee lassie! i have texture aversion troubles with a lot of food, mainly juicy/slimey vegetables. i can tell by lookin at this i'd be the same way she is haha. at least she managed to eat it though! i'd have hurled on contact haha
LOL. You will want to stay away from this one!
Waetermelon: imma spend four days in the fridge
Me: In the meantime I've eaten 4 ribeyes
Your kids are adorable. 😊
But I tell ya, your son's descriptive language + your daughter's facial expressions and choice selections to show to the camera really kill this idea! Hah-hah!!
And your wife: "I would want anymore...or. to. try it....again."
Anyway - no, I would not be ruining a watermelon like this. So thanks for trying it in my stead.
#TakeCareBeWellDoGood
😂😂😂 Their feedback is priceless
And the kid was right the whole time. Its crunchy, so bizarre. Loved the reviews.
michael scott! eating a watermelon
My son has been asking me for a month now
Bought the Mellon today, brineng it on Tuesday, smoking it on Saturday
Lmao that’s deep haha he said I wouldn’t recommend it 😂
Smart kid.
I was watching your daughter's reaction.... lol. Your wife!!!! 🤣 "Cure to veganism!" LOVE it!
Your poor daughter!! She was so brave. I agree with her. Melon just doesn’t look right
Your son is adorable and open minded about food.
How was the pineapple?
Lol. They are awesome. Me and my daughter just got done eating Chinese cured duck wings. 😂😂. The pineapple was the best part. Would do that again in a hear beat...
its so adorable. r=w weely weely good.. so adorable. my daughters do the same thing.
Smoked pineapple next
Pretty sure someone made grilled watermelon on Hell's Kitchen and Gordon Ramsey said it was poo! (That's putting it nicely!)
Maybe try the same recipe the restaurant uses including the brine
Yeah, I'm thinking that the balsamic vinegar would have changed things entirely, and not in a good way. Too many strong flavors conflicting with each other.
I see great potential in your channel.
Thank You! That is very encouraging. I appreciate the comment...
He needa pay for this
Your daughters face makes me think that's what my face would be. The texture looks horroble!
LOL!! It was very Weird... Looked soft but was chewy...
What a lovely family. You and your wife should be proud. Your daughter is magnificent and poised, like her mother. Your son seems like you. I see both of them in both of you. I would get the shotgun out now and sit on the front porch. Oh, and the watermelon is interesting, but the reaction of your family is magnificent. God Bless your family.
Burnt wood chips really? What planet are they on? 😄
How did the Smoked Pineapple turnout?
Incredible. I would do that one again
Hey boss....how was the pineapple?
Truthfully it was the best part. The curing and smoking brought out it's sweetness and it caramelized just a touch on the outer skin. I would do that one again. The watermelon not so much..
In other words... He dropped it
It might be good together with a salad
Did you edit out your daughters hurl 😂😂😂
Oh That's funny. Thankfully I didn't have to...
You look like michael scott
What a weird watermelon
Right. It tasted weird as well...
I hate apple crunch lol.
Given the amount of work put into it... I'm not sure $75 isn't reasonable.
Make a salsa out of it.
Hi let us know what happened to the pineapple ?
I didn't want the pineapple to steal the show but we ate it and it was incredible. Smoked Pineapple where the outer part started to caramelize just a little bit was really good!!
What happened with the pineapple???
That's turned out super good!! Slightly caramelized, smoky, sweet. We ate that up!!!
@@2guysandacooler glad to hear it!!! Im gonna try that instead 🍍
I think I'm with the girl there. You owe her a steak. I thought the poor kid was going to puke. I'm sure it's just a texture thing.
I bet smoked portabella mushrooms would taste good, but not watermelon.
You are so right. Smoked Ports are so good. Smoked Watermelon----not so much.
What about the pineapple???
Poor girl
A vegan delight
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought that was meat...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm with your daughter.... I'm thinking that would suck. Buy me a ribeye steak.
near the end of the video: "Guys, it's really easy to make" - looked like he put more work into it than anything I've ever cooked! This video looks like a Kansas family suddenly decided to go vegan, but didn't want to learn any new cooking techniques.
my God what have you done.
is that weed?
Ha but does it taste good?
Not really. It was too weird...
Lol
Why
Dat li'l gir' li' i don' wanna 'struu' mu' paren's chann@ 'fo' it ev'n star' s@ i' jus' grimace 'n saah' not'in.......😹😹😹😹😹
We just gonna ignore the daughter gagging?!?! I doubt it was morning sickness lmao
Oh no no no no no….
Ik it tastes nasty
Guyszzz it’s gross lmaooooo they’re just being so ridiculous about it haha 😆 it looks disgusting
Gross, lol 😂
its fucking raw!
It's a perfect medium rare😅😅
She was gagging alright. You can tell that he way over spiced it and marinating for three days is crazy uneccesary. Just add one spice.
LOL. The whole thing was unnecessary!!!!
What an awful idea... 😔 smoked watermelon... 😢
I assume you are not vegan.
@@judymiller5834 I have never understood why anybody likes the taste of smoke. It's poison, that's how it preserves some things. And it tastes like poison. 🤕
That looks nasty. I'll just take a fresh watermelon.
poor kids, just look their faces, kids don't lie especially about food, this consistency is disgusting and the price for this is a rip off, this vegetarian meat look a like replacements are terrible.
Nope...not gonna do it.
Mmmmmmmm no
It looks like cooked but uncooked meat...
Vegans just stop... I mean, a steamed water melon?
Thu
Oh thats disgusting looking and tasting. Haha!
I truly felt sorry for the poor children they had to eat that garbage. I have watched literally thousands of cooking videos for years and I have never seen anything this horrendous in my life. That perfectly good watermelon was abused to the point where it reduced in size by about 80% and it’s just a bunch of trash now. You seriously need to stay out of the kitchen. Let the children cook for you. There’s no question it would be a lot better. Truly never seen such a horrible treatment of watermelon. - well of course it’s crunchy! Omg! You have cooked all the water out of it. All that’s left are the compressed fibers. Geese. Stay out of the kitchen.
Get over yourself🤣🤣🤣🤣. Watch my other videos and judge me properly
@@2guysandacooler No thanks. You have nothing to share. No one who knows the first thing about cooking would have done that hideous mess. Give it up.
@@beck645 figures. You must be one of those😋😋. No worries. Keep on keeping on. See you on the 🙃. Untill then give me a RIFLMAO if you secretly love my content 🤣
@@2guysandacooler RIFLMAO!!
Gross
