Step 1: Start by preparing your pumpkin. First, cut off the end of the stem.

Important tips for making

pumpkin
When you are preparing pumpkin to put in the pot, it is important to use a very sharp knife. These pumpkins can have a thick skin, so be careful when cutting!
Also, do not forget to add the water to the pressure cooker. This creates steam for cooking the pumpkin. Without it, you may receive a burn notice.
