Exploding squash!!!

[Guest guest]

I poked holes in a spaghetti squash, per instructions. Then put it in the

microwave for 10 minutes. At 8 1/2 minutes, the darn thing blew up -- I

mean, blew itself into 3 pieces and one of the larger pieces blew the

microwave door open. So I had one chunk on the floor. Fortunately, no one

was near at the time (unfortunately, as I found out, the dog does not care

for spaghetti squash). This was the first time I've tried to cook spaghetti

squash. Should I have poked more holes? Bigger holes? Both? Put it in the

oven instead?
