    Thanks for the tip about microwaving for a few minutes before cutting. And here's a safety tip for cutting winter squashes: put them on a kitchen towel or rubber glove while cutting. This will help stop them from rolling out of your control.

    You inspired me to cook up a spaghetti squash I had sitting on the counter for a while (in the instant pot). It turned out exactly like you said, so perfect! It was too big to go in sideways, so I cut in half the other way and cooked one end. With just a tiny bit of encouragement, the whole thing slid right out of the skin! Thanks for your tips, and I always appreciate your authentic sincerity.

    Jessica, you can buy cute little silicone chimneys for the instapot online. They direct the steam in one direction so that you can release the pressure without worrying about burning yourself.

    I’ve never cut my spaghetti squash before putting it in the instant pot. It cooks perfectly if you leave it whole! So much easier, too. 😊

      Well I don’t know about this but I am definitely going to check it out. Thank you. But I will tell you that all squash seeds toasted are delicious. And you Kinda have to soak them in some water and salt just like pumpkin seeds. But if you were to do what you just said it would make them softer and moist. Then you could just put them in the toaster oven straight out of the Insta pot. Put a little seasoning on them or whatever your jam is.
      I’m going to try all of this!!!!

    From Instant Pot manual: "Do not cover or obstruct the steam release valve/handle and/or float valve with cloth or other objects. Obstructing the steam release valve/handle and/or float valve can create a safety issue and may cause injury." Just an FYI so nobody gets hurt.

      Try your local farmers market or vegie co-op. They're still good to ewat and should be avail to purchase.

    You can also cut the spaghetti squash horizontally instead. I learned this recently. It is easier to cut and also keeps the "spaghetti" strands in tact so they are longer and more spaghetti like 😋

    Thank you for another video. I think with or without the "pretty" it looks good. I agree for the taco theme black beans would of been a better choice. Though, I wonder if baking it at the end to get a slight crust on top might per-say enhance it.

      Agreed! Sometimes we buy squash more for the seeds than the actual veggie.

  • @sherrijones3568
    @sherrijones3568 4 года назад

    Just wash the outside and put the squash in whole rather than risking cutting yourself. The pressure inside the pot prevents the squash from exploding. Once cooked, cut in half and scoop away the interior seeds and fibrous material. Easy peasy!

  • @brockey100
    @brockey100 4 года назад +6

    To get long strands .....
    It’s Simple: Slice Your Squash Across the Waist
    Getting the longest strands possible is all about how you cut the spaghetti squash, and the best way to do that is by slicing it across the waist. Crosswise, right across the middle of the squash - instead of from end to end.
    If you take a minute to look at the inside of a spaghetti squash, it totally makes sense! The strands of the squash don’t run from one end of the squash to the other; they’re actually arranged in a circular formation around the interior, like lines of latitude around a globe. Cutting the squash across the waist keeps the whole strand intact, while slicing from end to end halves the strands.
