Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Emma and I made this from the files yesterday; it was out of this world. Emma cooked it but I had to cut the butternut. Is there any trick to cutting the butternut or peeling? I know Emma would have surely cut herself on this arduous task. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 A few pricks with a fork, and 5 - 10 minutes in the microwave with soften the squash enough to peel and cube more easily. It works on any hard rind squash - I use the technique on acorn squash to make it soft enough to cut into rings, which I stuff. --- Ronald Hess <ronhess0760 wrote: > Emma and I made this from the files yesterday; it > was out of this world. > Emma cooked it but I had to cut the butternut.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thank you to all who recommended cooking the squash a bit first. Next time we will try this.

He suggest a chain saw. Will cook a little before trying to cut next time. I like spaghetti squash so far the best. My favorite fall veggie is a tie between sweet potato and pumpkin.

My daughter was at soccer but I'd like to try it when she is home so she can see the " strands " of spaghetti after you cook it.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I have a boo boo from cutting an acorn squash yesterday! I triumphed over the little bugger, but was let down at the amount of good stuff inside, definately not worth the injury in my opinion!

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 No, I don't think it would be worth the injury either. Hope you are okay. I found it easiest to cut part way through and then pry apart. In all honesty, I will stick with the usual sweet potatoes, pumpkin, yellow squash and zucchini for the most part. I will admit that I did pick up a liking for spaghetti squash so the experiments were worth it. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
