Advice from experienced chefs on how to easily peel a pumpkin: if you pierce the peel in several places and keep it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, it will become softer and easier to peel. To prevent the pumpkin from being watery, after boiling, drain it in a colander, and the best thing is to steam it
