How long will the newly bought cantaloupe be cooled with tap water?

How long the newly bought cantaloupe is cooled with tap water can be decided according to the individual's specific situation. Generally speaking, however, the soaking time of cantaloupe in tap water should be controlled at about 15 minutes. The reason is that the temperature of tap water is low, which can take heat away from the surface of cantaloupe through conduction and convection, thus reducing its temperature.

To expand, besides tap water, there are other ways to reduce the temperature of cantaloupe. One way is to put the cantaloupe in the refrigerator for a period of time, which can reduce its temperature more quickly. In addition, if time permits, you can also put the cantaloupe in a cool and ventilated place and wait for natural cooling.

It should be noted that high temperature exposure and direct sunlight should be avoided as far as possible, so as not to affect its taste and quality. In addition, if the cantaloupe has been cut, it is recommended to eat it as soon as possible or store it in cold storage to prevent food safety problems caused by bacterial growth.

In a word, we can choose the cooling time and method of cantaloupe according to personal needs and actual conditions to ensure the taste and quality of cantaloupe.
