In reply to J. Sly. I had wondered if I could bake without removing the seeds.

Once the pumpkin is removed from the skin it is a good idea to put it into a sieve and let it drain before processing it. Any winter squash may be watery and allowing the excess water to drain from the flesh will make your pumpkin more like the puree you get from the can.

I use one of those Jack-o-lantern knives with the orange handles found in the Halloween decoration department. It works well for cutting any winter squash!

I bake my pumpkins whole as the pie pumpkins I have gotten lately are very hard to cut. Once they cool a bit I take out the seeds etc and go from there. I still roast the seeds.
