How do you peel the skin off a pumpkin?

Answer

The easiest way to get the skin off the pumpkin is to slice it into chunks (removing seeds and stringy parts with a large spoon. You can either steam it in a steamer or put water in a large roaster just to cover the bottom of the roaster with a wire rack and place the pumpkin (with skin) on the rack. Cook at 350 degrees for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. You can check by poking a fork through the skin. Take out and cool. Then peel off the skin. This is also a good technique for Hubbard squash that has a very tough skin.
