    Works better if you freeze it. Then drop the frozen ones in and when they melt the calcium will react forming a membrane and more uniform sphere.

      You're right, reverse spherification is much better with this kind of application or he can thicken the liquid to a nappé consistency to get the right outcome

      You need to make sure that if ur gonna do that you keep onto stirring as to not let the sphere stick to the bowl

      Gaurav, try adding more of calcium lactate gluconate (15-20% w/v) to your juice before adding it to alginate bath. In your case ionic gelation is not seems to happen due to lower crosslinking density.

    You should use the calcium lactate in the watermelon juice put in a semi spherical mold and freeze. Than to Alginate bath and warm water.

      @@davedenina7523 It's not about the dictionary, people simply define things a specific way and expect us to discern for ourselves, a watermelon labelled "seedless" is commercially used to indicate that the watermelon does not contain any of the denser black seeds that seeded watermelons do contain, while the white seeds are disregarded in this case.
