How do you slice pumpkin?

The shape and thick skin on some pumpkins means it is important you start with a strong, sharp knife and secure chopping board that won’t move around as you slice into the pumpkin. Then, cut it into sections, always making sure your fingers are away from the knife and the chopping board won’t move.

Some people will insert a thick knife, point-first near the centre of the pumpkin, then make slices from there. Others may prefer a sturdy serrated knife they can saw through sections with. And for butternut or other longer pumpkins, you could top and tail it, cut it in half, then peel it before cutting it into rounds (and de-seeding it). Basically, there are lots of different methods but the most important thing is to put your safety first.
