I usually carve my pumpkins the day of Halloween, set it outside until around 8:30 when we stop giving out candy. Then I cut it up and put it in the fridge. Then next day I can cook it up and use it for cookies, muffins, pies and stewed veg. Once its to that stage, I can freeze it to use later. We have never gotten sick cutting it up around 3-4 and leaving it outside in the cool/cold for 4-5 hours...
