A question about pumpkin carving. I want to get started carving but it's a little early. I was wondering?

Question

if you can carve a pumpkin then put it in the deep freezer and pull it out later when i am ready to display it. I know that you can carve a pumpking then seal it with plastic wrap and put it in the refridgerator but i don't have much room in my fridge, so i wonder if the freezer would hurt my pumpkin.

Answer 1

i always care mine then coat the inside with Vaseline it makes them last longer

Answer 2

I think it would. After the pumpkin defrosts, it will be a little mushy and soft. I was at the fabric store the other day, and they had true to life Styrofoam pumpkins that you could actually carve and put a light ( NOT A CANDLE) it, and it really looked real. They ran any where between $3 & $12 depending on the size. I live in Conn. and the place where I saw them was JoAnn's Fabric.

Answer 3

Freezing it would probably make it mushy once you take it out of your freezer as it thaws.

I'd wait until this weekend to carve. If you live in a cooler area, like the Mid West, set it outside after you carve it and it will keep it from decomposing as fast.

Answer 4

hmm, I would think when it defrosts it would sort of liquify. I would suggest going and getting a small one, just do something sort of generic in the carving realm and the defrost it after a day or two and see how it is. The length of time its frozen shouldn't have anything to with its performance so to speak.

Answer 5

Answer 6
