Yeah, a ladle, a putty knife, and ice cream scoop, or one of those little plastic buggers they sell in the pumpkin carving kits.

I use an ice cream scoop... they have paddle ones that professional ice creamers use to PACK ice cream tubs... that's the one you want. Search Ice Cream Paddle... on amazon.

3 for ice.cream scoop, better if it's a bit sharp on the edge.

You might also try a rice paddle. You can get them at an Asian grocery store. They come in plastic/wood/bamboo/metal.
Google "rice paddle" and turn on the images view, you'll see tons of options.
A wood spoon will work too, cut the handle down and sharpen up the edge as needed.
Also, a large serving spoon with the handle cut down. Or a maybe a larger utensil spoon modified to fit?

This is GJ. We HAVE TO make suggestions about tools that need to be "customized".
Besides, if you every bent or messed up a piece of your wife's flatware, you wouldn't be making the spoon suggestion.

If you want to go electric... perhaps if you sharpen the blades on an electric egg beater... ... just a suggestion... if you do tho... FILM IT
Steal a large spoon from kitchen. Grind it sharp. Drill hole thru handle. Hang on wall in garage. Show up, and hollow pumpkins in seconds onto newspaper.
Be a hero.
Good Luck,
PS: Make sure the large spoon is NOT the serving spoon inherited from her great great grandmothers estate.

Happy Holidays.

Look up a thing called the "pumpkin gutter". It chucks up in a drill and makes quick work of it.

I use a Stan lee yep give or take about three minutes all the inside pumpkin goo is gone clean as a whistle. Come to think about it another few minutes and the whole thing is missing also.
Darn thing costs me around $200.00 dollars , dang it he just ate my prized lilac bush last night...
Yes sir you also need one costs may vary.

It’s already out there.

I’ve had one for years. Use it to thin the walls of the pumpkin to make it easier to carve.
I use something like the middle tool, though I'd love something made with a bit heavier gauge and a sharper edge.

never thought a field of pumpkins would be grown only for seed.
is it really more valuable to throw the flesh on the ground than to can it or make pies or something?

My knowledge of pumpkin farming is pretty much knowing the equipment exists. I have to believe it can be used for end-of-season clean up at those places where families go out and pick their own. Everything thats left could be harvested for seeds or has to be disked under after the season is over.

Pumpkins grown for seeds are different varieties than pie pumpkins. The ones I'm familiar with aren't fleshy enough to be worth saving for the flesh. I have friends who raise a specific variety for seeds that are processed for oil.

I seem to be getting the hint to just google it and why bother to ask GJ
