However, it is necessary to pay attention to the temperature, and turn it to a small fire first, and the time is generally about 20 minutes. If steamed in an electric rice cooker, the temperature will rise slowly, which usually takes about 35 minutes. If steamed in a microwave oven, it will be cooked in about 10 minutes with high fire. If you use a pressure cooker, the pressure is much higher than that of an ordinary steamer, and the steaming time can be greatly shortened, which only takes about 5 minutes.

1, peeling and steaming: Although keeping the pumpkin peel and steaming can better lock the nutrients contained in the pumpkin, it is inevitable that the surface of the pumpkin skin bought in the supermarket will be unclean or have residual harmful substances, so peeling is safer, and peeling and steaming can shorten the cooking time.
2, steaming with hot water: steaming with hot water is faster and can better retain the nutrients in the pumpkin.
3. Master the steaming time: If the steaming time is too short, the immature pumpkin will feel raw. If the steaming time is too long, the pumpkin will be soft, the taste will be poor and the nutrition will be lost. Therefore, the time for steaming pumpkins should be just right.
