SPECIAL OCCASIONS<\/h2>\n
Pumpkin carving is fortunately not a hard activity to do but when you want to do more than just triangle eyes and a smile, you need the right carving tools to help make your more complicated design a reality. Instead of grabbing your biggest kitchen knife and hacking away, try these suggestions instead.<\/p>\n
SERRATED EDGES<\/h2>\n
A serrated knife is going to be your best bet for carving out the large holes. You should be creating a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin so that it’s stable when resting. Large and irregular bumps allows it to tip over easily. Having a flat bottom makes it easier to place a candle inside as well.

There are spinners that you can get in stores that are meant to clean the insides faster and with less work, but you can simply re-purpose a tool you already have in the kitchen to save some cash.<\/p>\n Paring knives are the most helpful tools in terms of getting the intricate designs you’re looking for. You may even want to buy a kit from a store that can help you to get the exact dimensions, but pumpkins are fortunately somewhat forgiving in terms of dimensions and sizing.<\/p>\n You can use Vaseline to coat the carved portions as well as the inside of the pumpkin to prevent rot from prematurely spoiling your project before the holiday. Or you can spray it with a small amount of bleach or pumpkin preservation spray. You can expect your pumpkin to keep for up to a week with these precautions, though you might not want to risk much longer than that.<\/p>\n Taluswood Apartments wants you to have fun and entertaining holidays this year and every year.
