I use a carrot peeler on the raw pumpkin skin, then boil the chunks until soft. Then I don't have to wait for it to cool to scrape out the insides and it seems like you get more pumpkin meat. I like either steaming or boiling for the cooking process; it is very dry where I live and roasting dries the chunks out.
Thanks for your feedback, Naia - another way to "skin the cat"! PJH
