High-speed pumpkin cleaner
The one part of pumpkin carving that no one seems to enjoy is scraping out the seeds, fleshy pulp and stringy, gooey guts from inside the soon-to-be jack-o-lantern.
Now I'm not sure the tool shown here, called the Pumpkin Gutter, will make gourd evisceration any more enjoyable, but anytime you can introduce a power tool, you've pique my interest.
The Pumpkin Gutter resembles a mixing wand from an electric hand mixer, except that fitted onto the end of its shaft is a completely round cage of steel cutting blades. To use the tool, simply chuck it into any power drill, then run it at high speed around the inside of the pumpkin.
The spinning steel blades will rip free the seeds and soggy strings, and even remove some of the flesh, if you'd like to thin the pumpkin walls to make them a bit more translucent.
The Pumpkin Gutter is available on-line for less than $10.
