This was helpful. Thanks!
quite a few people have issues with contact dermatitis from prepping this squash. It comes from exposure to the clear, thick liquid that comes out of the cut skin. Personally I use a kitchen towel to hold it while cutting of the skin with a sharp knife. This will reduce greatly the chance is getting this rather nasty reaction. 😉
you don't have to peel these kind of squash, like Hokkaido
I'm more afraid of the cutting it into the planks part. That's where I feel like I would a finger or two
I saw the thumbnail before I saw the title and thought it was a video about cheese. :/ Great tips!
Thanks for the tip! Just cooked one of these up for soup for the very first time the other day and yeah… it was interesting! Haha
