Depends on size of pumpkin and cooking tools. Take a 300g Beibei pumpkin as an example. If steaming the whole pot, it takes 25 minutes to steam in an ordinary pot and only 15 minutes in a pressure cooker. The smaller Beibei pumpkin takes a shorter time, and the larger one needs to be extended by 5-10 minutes as appropriate.

How long to steam the pumpkin depends on the size of the pumpkin and cooking tools. If you cut Beibei pumpkin into small pieces and steam it, it only takes 15 minutes to steam it in an ordinary steamer, and 5 minutes in a pressure cooker. However, because water will enter the pumpkin, Beibei pumpkin not only tastes slightly moist and soft, but also not sticky enough, and the 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. For 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 a soft and tender texture, you can also steam it in a pot. It is also delicious without any seasoning.
