Cleaning Squash?

Why? If the squash is already cooked, a [serving?, dessert?] spoon
works fine. If it is raw, a paring knife works best [for me] to
remove rind from flesh.

For raw ones I reduce to 1 1/2" thick slices- and pare easily.

I'm sure Dimitri means to clean the seed cavity.
I use a soup spoon but an ice scoop would work as well.
I never remove the skin from winter squash, I bake/grill
them skin on... I like to stuff the seed cavity with sausage meat,
but raisins, prunes, butter, maple syrup/brown sugar works well too.

He's talking about removing the seeds, I believe.
I usually use a serving spoon or soup spoon. Never
had a problem.

I use the soup spoon (aka "tablespoon") from my flatware set. If I
need something bigger, I'd use my basting spoon.

To refine this a bit: Use a grindstone or whetstone to sharpen the top edge
of the scoop. It'll help with ice cream, too.

Good information...except...you didn't need the last line. Why do you
have to demean everyone with that little nastiness of yours? Must be
habit I guess.

Bullshit. You're a fucking clueless idiot. It works FINE, dumbass. You've
never tried it you're just an ignorant shithead with delusions of literacy.
I have actually DONE what I wrote, so I KNOW that it works.

Now go back to sucking your Vienna sausage and leave the discussion here to
people who actually COOK.

I have been wondering about that too. I have had some squashes that we
hard to cut, but cleaning out the seeds was never much of an issue. I
just needed a good firm spoon.

Khrist, I've used my hands to get the bulk of them out...in fact
that's the first procedure.

I zap a winter squash in the microwave for about five minutes or more,
after piercing with a fork. Makes cutting it so much easier.
