Carving guide |
Practice makes perfect – but every pumpkin face is unique! |
Which pumpkin should I use? Any pumpkin is suitable really, whereby the following applies: smaller varieties, and especially the very irregularly shaped decorative pumpkins, only suit very skilled carvers because you have to work very carefully. The typical "pumpkins", i.e. the large, round, orange coloured, edible pumpkins, which are also used in the USA, are most suitable. Larger varieties such as Hokkaido pumpkins are also very suitable.

A fresh kick for the pumpkin |
The carved pumpkin can last for up to 10 days; the cooler it is kept the longer it lasts. |
Fresh kick 1: There are simple tricks to avoid rotting: rinse the pumpkin with vinegar after carving, dry it and spray it generously with hairspray. Allow the hairspray to dry out thoroughly before you place a candle inside and light it – otherwise there is a fire hazard.
Fresh kick 2
To stop the pumpkins drying out, simply grease the cut edges with Vaseline.
If it has already dried out a little: put it in a bucket of water and let it stand a few hours.
More fantastic tips:
Tip 1
If you want to use real candles to light the pumpkin from the inside then it is advisable to drill a hole into the lid so that the candle can get enough oxygen. This is not necessary if you use the LED lights available from Heitmann Deco.
Tip 2
Pumpkin supplies for the next Halloween: Pumpkin seeds can by dried and planted out in the garden next year.
