I have always cut pumpkins in half, placed cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet, and baked until soft in a 375 to 400 oven. Puree flesh in the food processor for ultra smooth pumpkin. Favorite recipe is pumpkin custards, pumpkin pie filling poured into custard cups and baked in large glass dish with water (bain marie). Pumpkin pie without the crust!
