Tips & Tricks: How to cut, seed and peel a pumpkin

On By SarahIn Tips & Tricks1 Comment

How-to_Cut_PumpkinPreparing a pumpkin can be a pain in every sense of the word, if done incorrectly. To avoid unnecessary sweat and tears, I strongly suggest following the steps listed below.

  1. Position the pumpkin such that the stem is facing upward.
  2. Using a very sharp chef’s knife (also called cook’s knife), cut the pumpkin just beside the stem in half.
  3. Use a spoon to remove the seeds in each one of the two pumpkin halves.
  4. Cut the half with the stem in half; thereby leaving the stem intact.
  5. Cut off the stem and the not-so-edible part at the base.
  6. If desired, you can peel the pumpkin with a vegetable peeler.
  7. Cut the pumpkin in cubes.

PLEASE TAKE CAUTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS TASK. TECHNIQUE MAY VARY, DEPENDING ON PUMPKIN.

Knife? Check! Arnie muscle power? Check! Get chopping!!!

Vegan Zucchinni Banana BreadOver the last few months, I have become an absolute banana bread aficionado. After baking my first banana bread in September 2014, I was hooked. Not just to banana bread, but also to vegan baking itself. I can still remember clearly how I felt while taking the first bite of my masterpiece. It tasted like home. There is no better way to describe it. In the German language, we don’t have an equivalent word that expresses this sensation so accurately. Continue reading “Vegan Zucchini Banana Bread” →
