• Place squash in a 9x13-inch microwave-safe dish, cut-side down. Pour water into the dish so it is at least 1/2 inch deep.
• Microwave on high power until skin is soft and can be pierced with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. If dish is too big to rotate, turn off the turntable and rotate dish halfway through.

Steps:

• Score squash with a knife and microwave it for 5 minutes. It should cut in half much easier after that." Once the squash is cut in half and you've scooped out the seeds, just flip it upside down in a baking dish, fill it with about an inch of water, and microwave until soft. This usually takes another five to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the squash and your microwave.
