Halloween is coming soon. So it’s time to carve the pumpkins again. Before that, there is a tedious task: gutting. It’s easier than you think.
Pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie or simply as a spooky balcony decoration: all sorts of things can be done and prepared with orange vegetables. No wonder, then, that it symbolizes autumn like no other vegetable. But there is one annoying thing: the inside of the pumpkin, while delicious, is difficult to extract.
Pumpkin core very easily: Hollywood star Jennifer Garner reveals her makeup with the hand mixer
To do this, cut some kind of lid at the top of one end of the round vegetable to get inside. Now it’s time to remove the pumpkin seeds. Some go to the trouble of scraping them off with a large spoon, including the pulp. But this not only takes time, but can also sometimes lead to a real mess in the kitchen.
Hollywood star Jennifer Garner knows it too. That’s why she shares her so-called “hand mixer hack” with her 13.7 million Instagram followers in a short clip, showing how to peel the pumpkin faster. And the mother of three really puts her heart and soul into it.
Peel the pumpkin very easily: this is how to proceed with the hand mixer
First cut the upper third, then the hand whisk is used, which is usually used for kneading. To do this, he goes all the way into the resulting cavity with the hand mixer so that nothing can splash out. Now bring the device to the highest level and wait until it has removed all the pulp, including seeds, from the walls.
After all, he can easily remove the seeds with a spoon and put them in a sieve. There he washes away the seeds, removes the remaining pulp that is on them with his hands and which he then places in a separate bowl. The kernels can then be roasted and used to refine other dishes. With this trick, none of the pumpkin’s precious insides are lost. With the result that everything can be recycled and nothing has to end up in the trash.
Over half a million Instagram users think Garner’s makeup looks great and have already enjoyed his post. Also, countless of them comment on how “brilliant” they find this trick and that they really want to try it. By the way: the hollowed out pumpkin can also be worked beautifully with the peel. So it can be stuffed very well with cheese like Camembert, for a different cheese fondue.
