The perfect after-work meal: The microwave pumpkin is cooked in just ten minutes and tastes particularly delicious with melted cheese.

Of course, not every type of pumpkin can be cooked whole in the microwave.

But if you have chosen the right variety, you save a lot of time and energy compared to conventional preparation in the oven.

There are no limits to creativity for the filling.

However, cheese is particularly suitable because it cannot be surpassed in terms of simplicity.

If you want to eat quickly after work, microwave owners can look forward to autumn.

Because then the time has come for pumpkins, which can be found in all sizes and shapes.

In the meantime, so-called microwave pumpkins with the designations Surprise, Buttercream, Puccini or Lil-Pump-Ke-Mon are available in the supermarket, which are specially bred for preparation in the microwave and whose seeds can also be purchased in stores.

These pumpkins are usually striped yellow or green, weigh 200 to 300 grams and cook within five minutes.

If you can't find one or grow pumpkins in your own garden, you can also choose small specimens of a squash, for example nutmeg squash.

Hokkaido pumpkins are often the ideal size for the microwave, but according to the cooking

Depending on the variety, it makes sense to check the cooking time.

If you can pierce the flesh well or softly with a knife, it's done.

Of course, the pumpkin can also be filled with vegetables, fried minced meat, as a soup, even sweet, or in a very puristic way after cooking with crème fraîche and herbs.

And if you are still looking for a quick snack, you can also make your own potato chips in the microwave – without any fat.
