Depending on the size of the pumpkin and the cooking tools. Take a 300g Beibei pumpkin as an example. If the whole pot is steamed, the ordinary pot is steamed for 25 minutes, and the pressure cooker 15 minutes. The time of the smaller pumpkins in Beibei is relatively short, and the larger pumpkins need to be extended by 5- 10 minutes as appropriate.

How long the pumpkin is steamed depends on the size of the pumpkin and the cooking tools. If you cut Beibei pumpkin into small pieces and steam it, it only takes 15 minutes for ordinary steamer and 5 minutes for pressure cooker. However, because water will enter the pumpkin, Beibei pumpkin is not only slightly moist and soft, but also not sticky enough, and its taste is not as sweet and delicious as the whole steamed pumpkin.

The pumpkin skin is too hard, so it takes a little longer to make a pumpkin cup, usually 35 minutes. To make other recipes, you need to peel off the skin and cook it, which usually takes 20-30 minutes.

The easiest way to eat pumpkin is to put it in the microwave and take a bite. It takes about 9- 15 minutes. If you like the soft waxy taste, you can also steam it in the pot, and it is delicious without any seasoning.
