# 1 - In Crock Pot - Choose a squash that can fit in your crock pot whole. Pole holes through the shell with a fork and place it in the crock pot. Add a couple cups of water, and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until fork sticking through the skin easily.
# 2 - In An Oven, Whole - Poke holes in the skin several times with a fork. Place whole squash in the oven. Cook at 375F for about 1 hour or until soft.
# 3 - Boil in a pot - Find a pot large enough to hold your squash. Fill with enough water to cover the whole squash and set to boil. When the water boils, add squash and cook 20-30 minutes, until fork sticking through the skin easily.
# 4 - in the oven, halved - Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place open side down on a baking sheet and put them in the oven. Cook at 375F for 20-30 minutes or until skin is easily pierced with a fork.
# 5 - Microwave in a Dish - Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place squash in a microwave dish with the open side up. Add a couple cups of water and cover with Saran wrap.
