The time for steaming small pumpkins is related to the tools used. Generally, it takes about 30 minutes to steam pumpkins in a rice cooker, and it may take about 35 minutes to steam the whole pumpkin cup, which takes a little longer. Because the skin of pumpkin is hard, it takes a long time to steam. If the pumpkin skin is removed, cut into pieces and steamed, it can be eaten in twenty or thirty minutes.

Steaming pumpkins in microwave oven can be achieved with high fire for ten minutes, but because of the different functions and models of microwave ovens, it needs to be adjusted according to the microwave oven at home. Steam the pressure cooker for five or six minutes, and it will be cooked thoroughly. If the steam lasts too long, it will affect the taste of the pumpkin. Steamed pumpkin in wok is also commonly used in life. Generally, about 20 minutes is enough.

Matters needing attention in steaming pumpkin:

During the steaming process of pumpkin, there will be a lot of water vapor in the pot. If the pumpkin is cut too small and has too many sections, the water vapor will penetrate into the pumpkin, which will cause the pumpkin to eat too much water, lose its sweetness, and the taste is not soft at all. So let's not cut the pumpkin into too small pieces, just cut it into four or five pieces. We must remember this trick of steaming pumpkin.

If you want to steam the pumpkin soft and delicious, and it is especially sweet, you must learn to steam the pumpkin across the water, that is, let's put the pumpkin skin down, put it on a plate, seal it with plastic wrap and tie a few small eyes. In this way, in the process of steaming, the pumpkin is isolated from the water vapor, and the water vapor naturally does not penetrate into the pumpkin, and the steamed pumpkin is sweet and delicious after the sugar is mixed evenly.
