1 acorn squash

Prick squash several times with fork to allow steam to escape. Place in oven. Microwave at high (100%) until soft when pricked with fork, 10-12 minutes. If using oven other than sharp carousel, turn squash over and rotate after half the cooking time. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut in half and remove seeds. Remove the meat of squash and season to taste. I use brown sugar, butter, salt and pepper. Put in microwave just long enough to melt the butter.
