can you cook whole acorn squash in microwave
To cook whole acorn squash, place a single squash on a microwave-safe plate. Pierce the squash several times with the tines of a fork. Microwave on HIGH for 6 to 8 minutes for a 1 1/2-pound squash. Add an extra 2 minutes per 1/2 pound of squash.
Directions. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place 2 whole acorn squash (about 2 pounds each) on a rimmed baking sheet; bake, turning occasionally, until very tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 1 hour.
