Have a question? First time cooking a real pumpkin. I cut it in half and baked it in the oven. I also put the seeds on a tray and baked them too.
Some of the pumpkin I cooked in the microwave to see the difference. Looks like the skin is pretty soft. Came out real good in about 10 min. Has anyone pureed it whole with the skin on? Hate to see it all go to waste. Any other suggestions how to use the outer part? Sueanne
Yep I just made pumpkin pie the other night and did this...I cut the pumpkin in about four big chunks, steamed till done, then used the spoon to scrape it from the skin/scrape the skin from the pumpkin.

I made my first totally homemade pumpkin pie last year and I cut the pumpkin (a "milk" pumpkin, the flat, light skinned kind) in a bunch of big chunks, then cooked it in my pressure cooker. When it was done, I just pulled the skin off and put the pumpkin in the food processor until it was smooth like baby food.
It was the best pumpkin pie I've ever had, and I got a lot of compliments on it from my DH's extended family.
