Cooking Tips

1. When making the pie filling, using a food processor to mix the ingredients is the most efficient and convenient method. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the steamed pumpkin into a puree with a spoon, add other ingredients, and use an egg beater to mix until smooth to prepare the filling. 2. After preparing the pumpkin filling, it is best to let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the pumpkin and other filling ingredients to fully combine, resulting in a smoother texture.
