Can these household items help make pumpkin carving easier?

Make a jack-o-lantern with kitchen tools?

One Halloween tradition that is almost everyone loves is carving pumpkins, but it can get messy and take a lot of time. You might not want to touch the stringy insides, or maybe not feel comfortable using that sharp knife to cute designs... (cue Halloween theme song). Kila Peeples may have found a way to make carving a jack-o-lantern a little easier by using a hand mixer and cookie cutters.

To get the inside of your pumpkin clean, Kila used a hand mixer to clean off the sides. It also is supposed to help make the scooping the guts and seeds out by turning them into a more soupy mixture. Then, instead of using a knife to cut out shapes, she used cookie cutters and a hammer/mallet. Did these interesting ways to “carve” a pumpkin work?
