How to carve a pumpkin just like the pros.
When buying a pumpkin, always pick the healthiest. Which means firm, no-bruise skin. Also, look at the stem for clues: the greener, the fresher
While most people will carve a hole around the stem before starting to carve, these guys suggest cutting a small hole around the back. When you cut off the stem, you cut off the nutrients to the pumpkin, aka, a terrible plan for longevity. The thicker the skin of the pumpkin, the easier to carve. There are at least two ways to tell how thick the skin is, at the time of shopping for one. A pumpkin that feels disproprotionately heavy for its size probably has a thick skin. A thick stem is another indication of the skin.While these guys use a special, a sharp paring knife or a craft knife will get the job done.
When you're done carving, spray the pumpkin with diluted lemon juice, which helps to slow down some of the oxidation. Another piece of good advice? Wrap your pumpkin and refrigerate it, until you need to put it on display.
