You paid for it, carried it to the car, and half of it goes in the bin. I used to come home with those too, until a head chef named Chen Wei showed me the one thing he checked first at the market. In this video I walk you through nine signs on the outside of a whole melon, in the order I use them. I'll show you why a dull rind beats a shiny one, why that rough brown webbing is a good sign and not damage, and why the big circle on the end has nothing to do with male or female melons. I also tell you where I was wrong for years about the knock, and how to check weight at a deep Costco bin without hurting your back when a melon runs 15 to 20 pounds. The one that matters most takes about two seconds. Roll the melon over and look at the patch underneath: white or pale green, put it back; deep buttery yellow, that's your melon. At the end I cut open the melon I picked this way so you can see the deep red right out to the rind and hear the crack of crisp flesh. If you're tired of paying for watermelon that tastes like cold water, this is the simple check to use at the bin before you ever lift one into the cart.
