butternut squash......how to peel EASILY?!!

[smeeinit]

i love butternut squash! unfortunatly i dont like cutting my hands to shreds every time i try to peel it!
any suggestions on how to get the skin off easily?!

potato peeler

ditto

Cut into rounds then hack round the edges with a big knife

if roasting, some people prefer to leave the skin on and just pull it off afterwards

i've given up on them

life's too short

oh! i thought soeone may have a miraculous way off peeling a butternut squash without getting shredded!!

Roast it in the skin for an hour or so and then peel the skin off when a bit cool
so much easier

I only ever roast them. Scrape insides out and mash with butter.

buy it ready peeled and chopped from supermarket so all i have to do is cook it!

Use a y-shaped peeler - piece of piss then.

oh ready peeled?! havent seen that in sainsburys! where do you buy it nulnulcat?
and hunkermunker whats a y shaped peeler?!

smeeinit its in asda dont know about sainsburys as there isnt one near me

in read online somewhere to microwave for a min then cut long top bit off round then peel, it works if you let it cool down after it comes out microwave otherwise you get scraped burnt fingers

peeler -sharp- vegetable; mine is more u - shaped..
with sharp bit along top

takes no time to do..i half the butternut squash before, easier to handle then or only need half..

off 2 asda 2mra then!
if i cant find it i may just hire someone once or twicw a week to peel b.squash for me!

errr twice not twicw!

smeenit..you asked how to peel bns easily?
is it not a bit lazy to buy it already done? who did it, and did they wash their hands? you dont know do you?
its quite easy w/peeler type thing..

I cut in half, roast it then get the flesh out with an ice cream scoop.

I cut the beast into quarters lengthways and then peel each quarter with me ol' potater knife. Don't find it that much of a problem.

Do you have softy girly hands or something?

pointydog..lol the beast!

oh, and are you grizzly adams?

I have no problems so long as I'm using mt Good Grips peeler (the central, horizontal bladed one). Just pin the bugger down on the chopping board and peel from top to bottom - it comes off in lovely long strips.

no, suzy, grizzly palms

I wash it, chop it up, boil it then peel it when cool enough. But maybe lose nutrients boiling it, perhaps should roast it after all!

pointydog..sounds itchy on palms...grizzly paws?
