Acorn Squash (Microwave)

Joyce Knott (United States) says:

This is the first time I cooked an acorn squash and found this recipe to be so wonderfully simple. My squash was quite large so I needed to cook it an additional 5 minutes. I'm going to cook a spaghetti squash next using the same method.

Linda Jenkins (Missouri) says:

This is the only way I've ever cooked acorn squash. But to make this recipe perfect, add pecans to your butter and brown sugar!

Linda (Florida) says:

The squash might not explode in the microwave, or it might, if it's not pierced. I have had them explode and believe me it is NOT NICE. So Pierce it. I usually cook them whole and pierced on a paper plate, cool them and bake the squash later in a casserole dish.

Dianne (Pennsylvania) says:

I started it in the oven, looked at the original recipe again and did a search and found this recipe. I had cut it in half already and 4 minutes was all it took. I added the butter and brown sugar and put it back in the oven to finish it up for another 20 minutes.

Michelle (Massachusetts) says:

Always a winner! Size of squash requires varying the time but it's easy to tell if it needs more time. Scoring the squash before adding the butter and other ingredients works well too.

Tara (Connecticut) says:

I followed the instructions and did not pierce it. It did not explode but it did need about 12 minutes more in the microwave after it was cut.

Risa (Nebraska) says:

This worked great. I didn't pierce the squash because I didn't think about it. It didn't explode.

Nick Xidis (Kansas) says:

Worked great, we changed the last step in the microwave for finishing in the oven.

Velda Saldana (California) says:

Fabulous! No need for an hour in the oven on a hot day, substitute butter for maple syrup and cinnamon if desired. Yum!

Laura (California) says:

Make sure you pierce the squash or it will explode in your microwave.
