How to carve your pumpkin 🎃

[@wildfirefox1]

Also! If you sprinkle some cinnamon into the top of the pumpkin and use a tea light, it smells vaguely of pumpkin pie

[@aunt_b3365]

Oooooo nice tip. Thanks

[@Idk_brandi]

Nice!!

[@gingermonroe4153]

Oh so nice🎉

[@notstrong5789]

Put cinnamon in some water add a tiny splash peroxide and then spray it on the pumpkin. Cinnamon antimicrobial, help pumpkin last longer.

This is awesome! Love this! Just an FYI: save the parts you cut out and put them into soup. They're delicious and super good for you. Also, if you coat the pumpkin with petroleum jelly after it's cut, it will last longer.

[@highclassnetworkhcn2267]

It also rots way faster by cutting the bottom

[@eggmanthescrambled5286]

I feel like it won’t rot as fast now too since the moisture won’t pool in the bottom of the pumpkin and make a swamp. That’s so cool!

[@21KJH]

Seems like it will dry out, which will add to the effect of a creepy pumpkin.

[@weelewism8442]

But it would just get through the cracks on the bottom 😂

It actually rots quicker cutting the bottom out. There is a reason everyone cuts the top off. This guy just thinks he's smart.

The stem stays in tact when you carve from the top also. Except now you have a handle to lift it and don’t have to worry about the bottom falling out

[@crystocious6715]

What a smart way of doing it!! ❤❤❤

[@HZ-fg9sf]

Need tips to prevent them from molding please! Mine always molds in 2 days 😭

[@senji5741]

If you rub a little bit of vegetable oil on the fleshy parts of where you carved it can help prevent it from rotting and molding hope this helps!

[@katherinegaston5229]

I’ve used to methods one is to rinse with a 50/50 salt solution the other is a 10% bleach solution. But the very best is just to bake very soon after carving and make pumpkin bread. 3 cups pumpkin mash (allow to bake long enough to carmelize a bit brown), 1 ripe mashed banana, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 cup finely chopped nuts, 1/2 mini chocolate chips, 5 Tbsps butter, 3 eggs, 1/2 tsp baking powder. Hopefully that is incentive to not allow mold to start (if doing this use the salt rinse method).

[@HikeandPaddlePA]

Loving all the pumpkin carving tips 🧡🎃

[@magikdust2095]

I think the reason people used to remove the top of the pumpkin, where the stem is, is because they used to put actual candles in the jack-o-lantern, and the heat from the candle needed an opening to escape. If you left an actual candle (one with a fire flame) in a pumpkin without a top hole where the heat can escape, then the heat will cause the pumpkin to cook, and that will make it rot far faster. I actually have used tea lights in carved pumpkins before, and you really need to leave the top off while the candle is lit. Otherwise, the pumpkin will get really soft, pretty fast... and it'll start rotting... and all the carving you did won't last very long.

[@queenroyalty7550]

But you put the lid back on and carve out a face, so wouldn't the heat escape through the carved holes?

[@magikdust2095]

@@queenroyalty7550 Some of it would, but not enough. Heat rises directly from the candle... this is evident to anyone who has tried to hold their hand a little above a flame before... the heat rises directly from the lit flame. So, some of the heat would escape through other holes, but the majority of the heat will rise right above where the the flame is, which is what would cook the top of the pumpkin (if you don't leave the top off).

[@johnbinford6706]

No offense but this is totally wrong. Tea candles do not have nearly enough heat to "cook" the pumpkin. Try putting your hand the same height above a tea candle that the top of the pumpkin is (~12 inches for a decent size pumpkin). You will feel some mild warmth and that's all. The only effect it has it that it slightly dries the inner top of the pumpkin over time. This is not a bad thing because less moisture means less rotting.

[@queenroyalty7550]

@@johnbinford6706 Thanks. I knew better but wanted to hear the explanation.

[@monikahardegger4671]

@@magikdust2095I put always the lid back on with real candles. Of course just outside the house. The lid gets sometimes a little black or dry because of it, but it works.

[@donnapersiani9466]

You made it so enjoyable you know I subscribed

[@izukukageyama7552]

I don't get it. Just cut a hole around the stem angling inwards and you can use it as a lid while actually having a place for the candle inside.

[@sophie.3.]

YES. my mother in law carved a pumpkin like that a couple of days ago (carved the bottom) and I got so pissed off lmfao. She was like what? You’ve never seen that? Girl….. don’t act like you’ve been doing this for years. No one carves the pumpkin from the bottom. She said it’s so the top doesn’t “fall in” when you cut it open….like… what??? I don’t get it. Never had that happened.
