How to make a Shisha bowl out of fruit?
Yes! It is true. You can use the rind of a fruit as the shisha bowl. It is a popular shisha flavor-enhancer, and a great emergency bowl to use in times of needs. Pears, apples, kiwi, oranges, watermelons, pineapples, and lemons, are among other fruits that commonly used. Here are the basic instructions (different fruits require slightly different steps):
Step 1: Gather materials
Step 2: Cut about ¼ off the top part of the fruit, usually under the stem. Make sure the cut is flat, so the coals will sit correctly on the top of the bowl.
Step 3: Carve out the core of the fruit, scooping out any seeds or pulp. The inner lining of the fruit should be at least ½ an inch thick. Shape the inside of the fruit so that it makes a small bowl.
Step 4: Using the potato peeler, corkscrew, or small knife, saw out a tiny index-finger-sized hole in the bottom of the fruit bowl.
Step 5: Cover with foil, poke small holes evenly throughout the foil.
Step 6: You may need more coals than usual to adequately heat your fruit bowl – enjoy! This is the home way to do. Come to our place and we show you the Shisha.id way.
A few additional things to note:
1) Only hollow out your fruit according to how much shisha you will be using (make a smaller divot if you want to use less shisha).
2) Leave enough fruit rind so that it will be stable on the hookah stem – this is because the juices and the heat can change the physical properties of the fruit, and it may become unstable if it isn’t thick and sturdy enough.
3) The coolness of the fruit may require you to use more coals to really get your bowl started.
