I see a couple people said they roast the pumpkin whole. Isn't there a danger of the thing exploding without some sort of vent to allow the steam to escape? The last thing I want is to spend the weekend scraping pumpkin guts from my oven. Lloyd, I'll bet simply stabbing the pumpkin in several places would allay that danger (if it exists... not sure. Although I do recall a spaghetti squash exploding in our test kitchen microwave a few years ago. As you say - not a pretty picture!). PJH
