Scrappydoo Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 [font="Georgia"][size="2"][color="#006400"]SO I was inspired by the fruit bowls I see at some of the higher end restaurants and I was thinking to make one out of a pear. I don't have any pears, but Abdullah dared me to that I couldn't make one out of a cuke. NEVER DARE ME! LOL! SO here is how you do it. Cut about 4" off the fastest cucumber you can find. Using a knife, scoop out 1 1/2" or so from the middle. Then I used a drinking straw to poke thru to the bottom. Using a thick band of foil, set the bowl in place, like an egg cup. You can pack it tighter than a normal bowl. Just as normal, top the bowl with foil and poke the holes, clear it and add the coals. The cons is that the shisha in the cuke bowl seems to take higher heat and it is hard to get a thick smoke. The Pros: smoke is so much smoother, moist and flavorful. I was just amazed. There was a slight flavor of cucumber but since I was using watermelon flavored shisha, it wasn't bad. I only used about a teaspoon of watermelon because my cuke was pretty small. I smoked this tiny amount of shisha for 45 minutes. I think to make it better I'll try to find a bigger cucumber, use some duct tape to seal it better and double layer of foil on top to keep my coals from cooling off. Here are a few pics. OK I can only load two pics, I'll put the rest on my gallery! Pretty crazy, right?[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Pretty cool! I would imagine this smokes really well with melon, mint and maybe even coconut? Who knows, maybe even lime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the grocer looking me over funny as I try to find the fattest cucumber he has, then only buy one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angekfire Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm with dave on melon with this. Melon cucumber is a common scent combination, so I imagine it would taste good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
