Pumpkin is the real king of autumn. The season of this vegetable falls in the fall. The product is used to make a variety of healthy cereals, soups, and casseroles. But in order for the fruit to really impress you with its good taste, you should follow a few important rules.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what mistakes are often made when cooking pumpkin. There are several important nuances.

When not to peel the skin

When cooking pumpkin, it is the peel that often affects the flavor of the vegetable. It is not always worth removing it.

For example, this applies specifically to the Hokkaido variety - with the skin on, it will be delicious in absolutely all dishes. As for other types, you don't need to remove the skin when baking the vegetable.

Don't miss the doneness

It is during the boiling process that pumpkin can be easily spoiled. It is very important not to overcook the product, because it will instantly lose its good texture and flavor.

Remember that the fruit should be cooked for no longer than 25-30 minutes if mashed. Baked - 25-35 minutes. It's important to time it and constantly check for doneness.
