If you want to cook the whole pumpkin, it usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. The exact time depends on the size and maturity of the pumpkin. It is recommended to easily penetrate the pumpkin with a toothpick or fork to check whether the pumpkin is mature. Cooking time will be faster if you cut the pumpkin into pieces. Usually, the pumpkin pieces are put into a steamer and boiled for about 10 to 15 minutes. Similarly, the degree of maturity is ensured by testing whether the pumpkin pieces are soft.
It should be noted that individual Beibei pumpkins may be slightly different, so please adjust them according to your personal preference and pumpkin size during cooking to ensure your ideal maturity.
