Actually, storing yellow pumpkin is quite easy if it is still intact. Pumpkins that are still whole or have not been cut should be stored in a dry place with good air circulation. However, sometimes storing it this way can cause the pumpkin to rot over time.

So, to overcome this, a netizen on the RWS Kitchen YouTube account has another trick for storing yellow pumpkin so it doesn't rot quickly. He didn't immediately store the pumpkin in the refrigerator, but added 1 kitchen ingredient first so that the pumpkin would last longer.
