You know the one that we love to eat but hate to cut open? Yeah that one. Cut open, deseed and enjoy! Spaghetti squash Cuts real easy after it is cooked They are very seedy.Īllow to cool slightly before carefully removing from IP when done. This is not a big squash and sometimes you can even do 12 minutes if it is a smaller one. High pressure for 13 minutes and allow to naturally release when done. Set it on the trivet (use the one that came with your IP) and add 1 cup of water for a 6 quart or 1 and a half cups water for an 8 quart.
#Cooking acorn squash in my insta pot skin
You don't have to get it really deep, just through the skin a little bit. Take a fork and poke some holes into the top of the squash - 4 pokes is good. You can even use your dish sponge to wash it (I have) and rinse it well. I think I will be using this in my stuffing this year instead of chestnuts since chestnuts don't seem to last as long from the store.įor cooking it, I wash it with some vinegar and rinse with water to get germs off. If you have never had it, it has a flavor that kind of reminds me of chestnuts. It had me curious and well, when I am curious it usually comes home so I can try it. Usually being adventurous with food, I decided to try it when I saw it in the store. I have to admit that this year was the first time I have had red kuri squash. The rest is all squash (or meat as you will often hear it called.) The seeds are just in one little spot here where there is a bigger bump on the squash. Very meaty is more like butternut squash where it only has seeds in the bump close to the end. There is a big center of seeds and just a little bit of squash around all the seeds Very seedy means it has a bigger center with seeds like this red kuri. The very seedy ones take a little less time while the very meaty ones take a bit more time and sometimes don't cook as evenly. I have found that most of them are in two categories when it comes to cooking them in the IP. I prefer to use my 8 quart for this because sometimes they fit better, but most of them will fit in your 6 quart if that is what you have.
#Cooking acorn squash in my insta pot how to
We will cover a couple of different squashes here, but pumpkin is here - how to cook pumpkin in the Instant Pot. We use the quart storage bags and divide it into each bag in amounts we think we will use it in. It freezes well after cooking and we have quite a bit of it in our freezer now. I have been cooking a lot more squash lately now that I don't have to struggle cutting it and then cooking it in the oven. We still love our roasted sweet dumpling squash, but otherwise I prefer to use the Instant Pot for cooking our squash.
It is so much easier, because easy is what I am all about! 2 smaller squashes can fit together in the 8 quart It's not easy to cut them open when they are raw! But if you cook squash in the Instant Pot, you cut it and deseed it after it is cooked. Have you ever cut open a squash? Any kind whether it be spaghetti, acorn or any other kind.
