Spaghetti Squash

[rozigrl221]

Does anyone have a better way to cut a Spaghetti Squash? I use the biggest butcher knife I have and it is so difficult to cut. I feel like I have no strenghth to do it. I was thinking of using an electric knife, but it is sarated and I don' t know if it will do it.

Throw it off of a balcony!

I have to use a knife and a hammer to cut through a spaghetti squash. It's really hard to cut throught it.

someday I expect to see a device on an infomercial that will slice and dice through a spaghetti squash for only $19.99.

Silly- I would throw it, if it wasn't so damn yummy. I love the stuff.

You know I was kidding, right? I love them too. I just grew two of them, they look like footballs!

And also, I have pierced them in 2-3 places - still hard to do but easier than cutting it in half- wrapped it in saran wrap and nuked it like that (on a plate). Or, wrapped in foil in the oven.

I put about 2 or 3 slits into it for ventilation, microwave it for 10 minutes, and then cut it. The thing cuts like a knife through butter! Or a knife through squash...

After it's cut in half, I continue cooking it.
