In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When the pumpkin is soft and tender, remove it from the oven, slow cooker, microwave, or steamer. Protect your hands with oven mitts and transfer the halves to a wire cooling rack. Set the pumpkin aside to cool for 30 to 60 minutes, until it's comfortable enough to handle safely. . When the pumpkin is cool enough to touch, use your fingers to peel the skin away from the tender flesh. The skin will come off in strips, but be careful to leave as much flesh behind as possible. Use a sharp knife to slice away any stubborn areas where the skin doesn't want to come off. Transfer the peeled pumpkin to a cutting board with the cut sides down. Chop the flesh into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. You can use the cubes for salads, soups, roasts, and other dishes, or you can blend the cubes to make a puree for baked goods and other recipes. To make a puree, transfer the pumpkin cubes to a blender. Pulse the pumpkin for about 3 minutes, until it's smooth and free of chunks. Each 6-inch (15-cm) pumpkin will yield between 2 and 3 cups (450 and 675 g) of puree. Instead of a blender, you can also use a food processor, immersion blender, potato masher, or food mill. Line a colander with large disposable coffee filters or clean cheesecloth. Pour the puree into the colander and cover it with plastic wrap. Place the colander over a large bowl and transfer it all to the refrigerator. Leave the puree to drain overnight. If you don't drain the puree, there will be too much water in the pumpkin, and it will affect the flavor and recipe ratios.
Summary: Allow the pumpkin to cool for up to an hour. Peel off the skin Cut the flesh into cubes. Pulse the pumpkin in a blender. Drain the puree in a colander overnight.
