Lime Watermelon
Using a chef's knife, cut the top and the bottom of the watermelon. Stand the melon on a sturdy cutting board and carefully peel the sides of the melon. Make sure the melon is stable so it does not move in the process of peeling. Cut the melon into two 5-by-7-inch pieces.
Add the lime juice and zest to each of the bags with the pieces of the watermelon inside. Remove the boards from inside of the vacuum chamber (if it has any) and place one bag at a time inside of the vacuum chamber. Start the compression process until it is complete.
Place one piece of the melon inside of a vacuum bag and the other piece inside another vacuum bag. Prepare the vacuum chamber to compress them.
Remove from machine and reserve for up to 24 hours.
To plate, cut into desired shapes and serve.
