Winter squash are so versatile, easy to cook, and easy to throw in most dishes, sauces, and desserts. To save time, we often microwave a squash whole for 4-5 minutes to soften it up. Then, we halve and seed the squash, and steam the halves in a pan of water in the microwave 4-7 minutes more, until soft. The softened flesh can be scooped out and used immediately, or frozen in 1 or 2 cup quantities in freezer bags for another day. Just today I pulled out a baggie of frozen pumpkin to make Maple Pumpkin Pancakes. However, do not try to save EVEN more time by microwaving a whole squash until it is fully cooked. You may end up, as I did, with a mess...
