How to store pumpkin after cutting
南瓜一般买回家后,只要不切开,放在家里阴凉干燥,且避光的地方,保存3-5个月是没有一点问题的,但是南瓜切开后,就会接触空气,很容易从中心开始腐烂变质,放入冰箱冷藏保存也就是3-5天左右,要是误食会对我们的身体产生极大的危害。 So everyone will basically choose a small pumpkin or a vegetable market to cut and sell a small portion of pumpkin, but I like big pumpkin, I think it is healthy and rest assured to buy it this way, I don't have to think about when the pumpkin in the store is cut, and then go home to peel the leftover pumpkin, steam it directly, and save it after freezing, which is very convenient.
Yesterday I bought a big pumpkin, there are more than 6 pounds, I ate a stew, there are a lot left, I use my old method, steamed and frozen, so that it will not be bad for a year, whether it is to make porridge in the morning, make soy milk, make pumpkin pie, or make noodle soup, take it as you eat, it is very convenient. Let's take a look at the correct way to store pumpkin after it is cut.
【冷冻保存法】
第一步,把南瓜清洗干净,用刀削掉外皮,去掉南瓜籽,然后改刀切成大小厚度均匀的薄片,放入盆中。
The second step is to pour water into the steamer, after the heat is boiled, put the container containing the pumpkin into the cage drawer, steam on high heat for about 25 minutes, turn off the heat, and then let it cool.
In the third step, after the pumpkin is cooled, it is pressed into a puree with a spoon, and then put it into a plastic bag according to different amounts.
The fourth step is to put the pumpkin in the refrigerator and freeze it, and take it out when eating, so that whether it is porridge or pumpkin soup, etc., as long as you take the size of the family to eat, you can eat it as you go, and it is not wasted at all, and it is not bad to put it for a year.
【冷藏保存法】
用小汤勺把南瓜中心的籽取出,再用刀把内膜削干净,然后晾干,或是用厨房纸巾擦干南瓜里面的水分,在南瓜表面的切口上抹上一层薄薄的食用盐,然后把南瓜用厨房纸包好,装入保鲜袋中,放入冰箱冷藏,这样可以冷藏保存1个礼拜。
取出南瓜籽和内膜是为了减慢南瓜腐烂变质速度,涂抹盐能够起到杀菌作用,包上厨房纸巾是为了吸潮,这些都是为了减缓切开后的南瓜腐烂变质速度。
epilogue
The most feared thing at home is that it is not easy to preserve the pumpkin after it is cut, and we can't eat pumpkin every day, so we might as well use this preservation method of steaming and freezing, no matter how much pumpkin there is, it is not bad, and it is not bad to freeze for 1 year. When eating, take it out and thaw it in advance, and then add it according to your own recipe, which is very convenient and does not waste at all.
