Microwave Hack Makes Pumpkin Easier to Cut, But Some Parts May Cook
A TikTok and Instagram life hack suggests warming a pumpkin in the microwave to make it easier to cut. This method, tested by heating the pumpkin on high for 2.5 minutes, can indeed make the process less challenging. However, it's important to note that some parts of the pumpkin may become cooked, which might not be suitable for those who need it raw.
Pumpkins, commonly used in cooking, especially in October, can be quite hard to cut due to their tough outer layer. The microwave hack offers a quick solution to soften the pumpkin. However, an alternative method involves peeling and soaking the pumpkin in water or a brine solution before cutting. This can also help soften the outer layer, making it easier to slice. While the heated pumpkin can be cut more easily, it still requires some force. Always remember to handle the heated pumpkin carefully, as it becomes hot.
The microwave hack can indeed make cutting a pumpkin easier, but it's essential to consider that some parts may become cooked. For those who need the pumpkin raw, peeling and soaking it before cutting is a viable alternative. Always ensure you handle the pumpkin safely after heating.
