Not sure why, but the thought of gooping out all the slimy mess from inside a pumpkin makes me a bit queasy. This Halloween, I’m going to keep my hands clean and give this power-drill-propelled Pumpkin Gutter a shot.
The Pumpkin Gutter by Dakota Products looks and works much like the beater wand from a hand mixer, except this is designed to fit into a standard drill chuck. Its fast-spinning steel blade quickly and cleanly tears out all the stringy material and slime without damaging the seeds. It can even thin the pumpkin’s walls for more elaborate Jack-O-Lanterns.
It retails for $12 at Amazon.
