Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I cut butternit, acorn and spaghetti squesh all the time. You need a very sharp heavy duty knife like a Santouku, here;s a link to the type I'm speaking of: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_hg/002-6551122-2787252?initialSearch=1 & url=sea\ rch-alias%3Dgarden & field-keywords=santoku+knife & Go.x=12 & Go.y=12 This is my favorite knife. They need to be used with caution. I have no problem with a knife but give me a potato peeler and I have Bandaids all over.LOl Donna --- Heather Scholl <dracaenaz8 wrote: > I love squash, but have resorted to simply baking > then mashing the winter squash (mostly butternet) > because I have a heck of a time getting through the > peel/core.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 You've heard Donna's secret. My #1 secret is to buy the squash already cut/cubed at Trader Joes. ;-) I've also been known to cut squash by using a strong knife and a mallet. You know those wooden mallets used to tenderize m**t? You can also use them to help get the knife through the acorn squash. :-) Sharon Donnalilacflower wrote: > I cut butternit, acorn and spaghetti squesh all the > time.
