This “how to” is for small to medium sized baking pumpkins also known as pie pumpkins.
These are smaller than decorative pumpkins and easier to handle and cut.
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and using a large chef knife cut off the stem and the bottom of the pumpkin.
Slice the pumpkin in half running from where the stem, use to be to the bottom of the pumpkin.
Happy Halloween!
