Yes, and I used to have fingers!
To make peeling easier, you can heat the whole squash up in the oven for a few minutes and let it cool. I am not sure why cutting one up would be so difficult if you have a sharp knife.
That was directed to the original poster, but since you felt the need to chime in I would sincerely advise you to keep your fingers out of the way of the blade.
I can assure you if you drop the knife on your toe… It'll hurt.
Yes it was. I broke a knife and cut a chunk out of my thumb. Never again.Why? It's not that hard...
Exactly and I cherish what's left of them.
That's close too - thank you Bonehead I'll give them a call.
I'm not being a smart ass here, but what kind of a knife are you using?
That knife was really sharp - maybe not strong enough though. All I remember was it was miserable and I was already in a panic from having to cook so much, my thumb bled like crazy and probably needed stitches, I still needed to get the oysters, and drive all the way to Leonardtown to pick up the stuffed ham.
Yeah - I'd probably need a better peeler too - that's why I'm going with precut. Did you see the beginning when the knife got stuck in the squash? That's what happened to me. Only I yanked it out and started on it again and within seconds managed to hit my thumb.You need better knives.
