I once tried this with watermelons. It didn't work... the fruit just squished inside and was ruined. Hope it works for you, though! Take the box off and pretend it grew naturally.
I'm pretty certain that it would work with nep pitchers, as my n. truncata has a pitcher with a nice dent in it because it was inside the pot when it matured. And behold the dent is still there after all these months.
I'm sure with the right mold, you'd be successful.
My first Bical pitcher is still around and it's got a funny dent in it from initially forming against the lid of the pot.
Don't forget, Asians have square watermelons, and even Buddha pears.
The trick is to use molds that will hold near the same volume as the fruit should grow up to be. If the mold is too small, the fruit would burst the mold. Too big, and you get voids.
