This was the perfect, no-nonsense video. I actually dropped my jaw, as well as laughed at some points in the video. I'm a pretty versatile cook and have had tons of acorn squash in my day, but tonight-TONIGHT! is my first try at butternut. Many thanks. 💛
so glad i found a how to video that gets right to the point..i like entertaining recipe videos but something like this i just want to see the process...thanks..this was a big help.
Butternut squash is such a pain to peel and cut. You can definitely see even Kenji struggles with it (assuming that's the person in the video). I'm way happier just roasting it with the skin on then peeling off the skin after the squash is nice and soft.
@dtape I was thinking the same thing when watching this video. If I ever need diced, I'll cut the outside with a knife (even though there's a little more waste).
You may find it much easier to peel by leaving the whole thing intact. Place at the edge of the counter so when peeling you don't thump your knuckles with each stroke, make one long pass, with a peeler like yours, from top to bottom. I can't get the peels to hit the trash can but they are easy to pick up. Very easy to peel this way. Thanks for the video on best way to cut it up.
How do you make it look so easy. It was extremely hard to cut butternut squash to me. I was working with a brand new peeler and a brand new knife so they are not dull
Toss squash in microwave for a minute or so to make it easier to peel. Cut off top and bottom for an even base. Peel. Then cut and scoop seeds. I'm kinda surprised they didn't do it that way.
For getting out the seeds, I've found an ice cream scoop works much better than a mere spoon. Also, I cut it in quarters so I don't have to go digging so deep.
killerbiene243 I don't think I'd like to make a soup with the skin on. if you know something I don't pray tell. I like to learn new things. There is no sarcasm in my comment, promise.
@@ItsAllBeenDecided i always leave the skin on a butternut squash when i just make soup, its delicious (it ll be blended anyways). If i make purree out of it i cut it in half, unseed it and put it face down in the baking oven for 30 min or so. It ll be all soft and easy to just scoop out then :)
@@ItsAllBeenDecided This is really interesting to me. I always leave the skin on with Butternut and Red Kuri squash, and haven't noticed any negative effects on texture in either pureed soups or baked. Then again, I have never tried peeling it, so I might next season! Thanks, greets
It's always good to see a woman with hands that aren't shy of work. Some women spend a small fortune on their nails etc - but not this lass! Girl Power! :D
Too much work, really When I prep Butternut squash for soup, I roast it…remove the top stem and then slice in half lengthwise. Next scoop out the seeds, and place in a long roasting dish, cut side face down. Depending how much water is in the squash, add about a half a cup of water…it helps steam and cook the squash. Place in an oven pre-heated to 375 degrees, Fahrenheit, 190 degrees Celsius. During cooking, always maintain a small amount of water in the pan so the squash sugars don’t turn brown. Sometimes you will need to add water, but many times the squash will throw out excess water…Cook for about 45 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the outer skin of the squash. Reserve all liquids and add to your soup. When the squash is cool enough to handle scoop out the insides to use in your soup recipe and discard the skins. Because the sugars have not been diluted by cooking water, you soup will be deliciously sweet. A nice touch when making butternut squash or even pumpkin soup is to throw in a handful of spinach greens at the end to boost nutrition and to give a color splash.
Thank you for just doing what the video said you were going to do and not giving me 10 minutes on the history of butternaut squash. 😂
😂 frfr
exactly !! lol
😂
this is all how to cooking videos should be done, no nonsense, clear picture, straight to the point Thanks!
Ugh can xfkxzzspadxgyyukpo it e xx x
We G h I mmm ccdtyred
Exactly
Yep, just pure documentation. I love it.
Great not having distracting music or unwanted voices. Straight to the point of task. Many blessings
This was excellent!! Straight to the point, no silly commentary. Thank you!!!
I appreciate that there is not excessive editing here too, so that you see the actual work that goes into the job, including the harder parts.
There's an adage that says, "You learn something new every day." This video epitomizes that! Straight forward! To the point! Easy to follow!
love that there is no annoying talking and commentary. so refreshing! thank you!!
Thank you for the slow and steady pace; everyone else goes too fast and then doesn’t even explain what they’re doing. This needs no explanation. 👍🏼
Instant like and sub for just simple visual instructions, no Wadsworth constant. Extremely refreshing, informative. Thank you.
I have to agree with everyone here...love the no nonsense straight to the point video. Thank you.

Thank you for not talking crap all over the video, I had to go through 5 videos before I could find one that I could tolerate.
Perfect UA-cam content. Just the facts, NO fluff. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks!! it took me 15 minutes to peel and cut one up. Don't know if I am weak or had a bad knife? It was a royal pain in the A--!!

I use the slice part of a cheese grater. Works great

I was hoping there would be an easier faster way, but happy to say that there is no other way but the hard way thanks for your work
kenji cornering the asmr market
I am back for my yearly view right around Thanksgiving as I prepare diced butternut squash for my chili. Thanks for a great video!
Love the video! Especially having no music which prepared me emotionally for how I will feel cutting up the squash.
Something about this video is incredibly soothing...
Thanks. Happy New Year!

Same here. arm workout

Thank you for the great, to the point, informative video. You have my thanks!
Wow I’m literally amazed!
For getting out the seeds, I've found an ice cream scoop works much better than a mere spoon. Also, I cut it in quarters so I don't have to go digging so deep.
No one noticed he doesn’t show cutting the bottom half of it?
That’s exactly the part I wanted to see, how do you dice the seeded part into cubes ?
😂😅😊
Very Satisfying to watch
Squashes can be really quite uncooperative
THANK YOU, REALLY HELPFUL!!!
I had to make a big batch of butternut squash soup once. Maybe it was the dull knife, but woof never again, only frozen and squash for me now.
Love the chapters here. Prepping the chicken. Making the sauce. Lol.
Thank you for not talking - no offense 😂 right to the point 💯💯
I can feel my hands hurting seeing this cause I've been there and done that and let me tell you.... my hands got so sore and my nerves got inflamed!
This was so satisfying. Thank you very much for this video.
So, there's no easy way, no hack, to peeling a butternut squash. Damn.
Why do you peel it?

@@forforkssake30 I will definitely keep the skin on the next time I make soup. Thank you!

I always microwave a butternut squash for about 5-7 min before peeling and cutting. Easier for me that way.
Now you tell me! Wish I had thought of that sooner..lol
Omg thanks!
My butternut is way too big to fit in my microwave...
@@luluhutton2663 girl you need a new microwave!
I do the same thing with sweet potatoes.
very helpful! Thanks
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you for great video
Danke für die Informationen
Nice one I’ve got a peeler. Was worried about the funny shape
Thank you!!!!!
Would a cleaver or serrated knife like a bread knife not be better? Great video
So you mean to tell me... my dumb ass is out here cutting my fingers open trying to cut out the flesh... when all I needed was a potato peeler? Lmao.
A great demonstration!
Not all speed peelers are created equal. Whoever made this vid (Kenji) should get an oxo goodgrips.
Not all peelers are created equal - there is a joke there somewhere.
Thank you
POV: me getting creative this thanksgiving and now i own a butternut squash. Look at us. Who would have thought?
It's always good to see a woman with hands that aren't shy of work. Some women spend a small fortune on their nails etc - but not this lass! Girl Power! :D
Well, after the fact of watching this video, I have "rustic chunkettes.."...lesson learned!
how about pumpkins with thicker skin?
seems like kenji needs a new scraper
that sexy squash ASMR
👍
I should have watched this before cutting into my butternut squash because I have totally butchered it 😅
Killing me dragging the knife across the board but good vid.
looks like he cut in half but the bottom had a lot left
Ok what about the other part that is the part that sucks...
after i cut it add it to veggie pasta cook about hour
ok...
Clearly not meant to be eaten by humans as it's such a ball ache

hheheheh butternut squash looks like a dong and the name is funny to XD
That knife is dirty
knife skill..... use peeler. :/
Ugh the sound irritates me! HATE ASMR videos! But it was helpful
Clean those nails
What a nasty knife
👍
