Remove Fibers from Squash with Electric Mixer

To remove fibers from fibrous squash, whip cooked squash with an electric mixer. The fibers will be caught up in the mixer blades.

To bake the squash follow the steps below.

Cut squash in half and remove seeds and stringy fibers.
Place squash halves cut side down in a baking dish, pierce the skin several times to prevent the squash from exploding while it is baking.
Bake at 350°F. for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check squash for doneness by poking with a fork. Squash should be tender when pierced.
When done, scrape the cooked squash away from the skin and place in a bowl.
If squash has a lot of stringy fibers, whip with an electric mixer to remove them. Otherwise, mash with a fork and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter and season to taste.
