How to Cut, Cook, and Peel Pumpkin

Pumpkins can be used for cooking and also for carving jack-o-lanterns around Halloween time.

Since the shell can be quite tough, we will show you here how to peel a pumpkin easily for cooking.

SLICE pumpkin in half AND CLEAN it, removing all the seeds and fibrous strings.

Instructions

To make peeling the shell easier and quicker, cook it first. If cooking in a MICROWAVE, place pumpkin cut-side-down with a bit of water in it.

If cooking in the OVEN, place clean pumpkin half or halves cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at until fork tender.

LET COOL just enough to handle without burning your fingers.

PEEL it using a knife (oven method) or your fingers (microwave method).
