Have you noticed Cavindish take ages to turn yellow?

I would avoid doing that. Far better to hang the bunch in the house and cut off fingers as they ripen gradually. Otherwise one day you find you have 85 ripe bananas to eat! And let them ripen completely. Try one and see to get a feel for this. I have found that different cultivars taste better at different stages and look different when full ripe. And thin skin ones will split. So ---- practice your bananas.
