Sue:
I used to spend a lot of time cutting up winter squash. It was so hard
and so slippery that I dreaded the task. Now, I simply wash the squash,
cut it in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, put about 3/4" water in a
cake pan, and bake it at 325 until I can poke a fork through the
skin (40 min. or so). If you want to cube the squash or mash it, it is
so easy just to slice each half into smaller pieces and then peel off and
remove the skin. Otherwise you can eat it right out of the shell.
Enjoy your winter squash! Yum!
