When I bake an entire pumpkin (soup) I bake it in a souffle dish that just fits…serve right in the dish.
This is the best and worst thing i've ever seen HAHAHA! I'm a big Julia fan, the creativity this time of year with squash is awesome….holy moly butter and cream though, must be French! Must have tasted great but honestly looked pretty gross LOL I cannot believe you've never had sage before!?! It's a stuffing essential. Where are you from? Canada talking to ya LOL Thanks for the video
PS I feel so bad for your baking pans LOL
Why didn’t you wait to take them off the tray till they where cool so they wouldn’t be so fragile? Also please learn how to cut a pumpkin. I cringed a lot during this but it was still entertaining
next time.. use a hand mixer to clean the pumpkin stuff out! just learned this trick.
You really need to invest in kitchen parchment.
I used too much nutmeg once. I don’t like nutmeg anymore 😂
armenians have a similar traditional pumpkin rice dish called Ghapama! this was so fun to watch!
I've been doing sort of pumpkin pesto with fresh sage, it was a quite strong smell and taste and it gives "character" to the pumpkin. Unfortunately I haven't found a place who sells fresh sage since I moved.
I think the old ice cream scoops were more flat?
Use a kabocha pumpkin it’ll probably be stronger when cooked
You've never used sage?
Roast chicken/turkey?
Stuffing/dressing for Thanksgiving?
when you said spared no expensive i thought of John Hammond from Jurassic park XD
Your titles 😂 crack me upppp 😂
LOL!! When the stem came off…Man I just LOVE that you leave in your gaffes and flubs. I watch Babish, Chef John and Josh but you are now my total FAV to watch.
I'm a few days late the party. Ain't it always the way? I love seeing ways to use pumpkin that aren't just pie! I do remember reading somewhere that the normal carving pumpkins weren't as yummy as the ones grown specifically to eat. Also, I saw a tik-tok (prob someone else has linked it) telling me to use an electric hand mixer to get all the dangly bits out from the inside instead of a spoon, which I think sounds either brilliant or horrifying. I think maybe you did the pumpkins a bit too long, which is why they were so fragile, but I bet that made it easier to scoop out the innards when you were eating?
I make meatloaf stuffed in a pumpkin. It tastes like acorn squash and a forkful of meatloaf and squash is great.
Cut pumpkin lids with knife 🔪 at a 45° angle into pumpkin to prevent lids from falling in 👍😁
The best hack when chopping onions: CHEW GUM. It freaking works, but you’ll want to spit it out when you’re done 😂
I have so many pumpkins coming in due to the harvest! Im so happy to tey anything with them lol
Trying stuffed pumpkins tonight!
Just cook each pumpkin in its own deep cast iron pan or Dutch oven without a lid. That way if it splits you wont lose all that goodness. Looms yummy, messy or not. I'm gonna try it!
SO GLAD you finally got whole nutmeg! never buy the pre-ground again.
I hate cooking (sorta), but I wanna make these pumpkin recipes!
Suggestions:
1) Use a pie plate for each pumpkin. Easy to move from counter to oven and back. And has a slanted side to accommodate the pumpkin shape.
2) Cut out the lid of the pumpkin with your knife on a slant so that the lip of the hole supports the lid.
Found your channel a few days ago and absolutely adore you and all your cooking adventures. Keep up the fun and inspiration.
Make pizza from the seeds! 🎃
I've enjoyed all of your videos that I've watched, but this one? This one I'm making myself!
love how u just ram ur pumpkin juice covered hands in the drawer getting all the utensils sticky for later, then u wonder how they got sticky 😂
Literally just found you from your cassoulet video and I’m really enjoying this! I’m sure it’s not on purpose- which makes it better imo- but it brings me amused joy to see you just tossing and throwing and flopping things around while you work on. It vibes well with my personality and I love it 😂
Amazing, Jamie! And pumpkin season means that gingerbread house season is right around the corner! 😂😂😂
Two tips: 1. Use the kid-safe jack-o-lantern tools to cut the top off. I was surprised at how much more easily that hugely serrated "knife" cut through the pumpkin top than any of my best knives ever did. No worries about damaging the delicate knife point, either. 2. When cutting the top off, go in at an angle so the opening is wider at the top rather than going straight down. That way, when the top is replaced and shrinks in cooking it will still have something to rest on.
As for the problem of them falling apart, I'd say they're over-cooked. Baking as long as they do, I'd start checking maybe 5 minutes before they're supposed to be done to see if they're ready. I try inserting the tines of a fork under the "lid" of the pumpkin. (The flesh, not the skin.) When they go in without much resistance, it's done.
I'm with you. Pumpkins are one of the most wonderful foods, and so versatile. I'm sad they're hard to find except in October, at least, they are where I live.
