Watermelon Done Right: De-Seed Like a Pro

Step 13 Do The Mash - The Watermelon Mash!

Use a potato masher, or the like, to mash the leftover scrap watermelon. The object is to press the juice out of the watermelon and through the small holes in the sieve or collander. Ignore the seeds, white or black. They will not pass through the strainer, and the potato masher will not break them up, nor does it need to break the seeds up.

You know what I think would work great instead of a potato masher? Fingers. You sure do have a lot of plastic kitchen tools, though. Wish I had that kind of storage space.

You're right! Think of the old-time vintners mashing grapes with fingers and toes...it's got to be better than some sort of utensil!
