Don't Try This At Home!

We love spaghetti squash! I knew better but the instructions said to puncture a few holes and microwave it whole 5 minutes per pound. I always cut them in half, scoop out the seeds and bake them, cut side down with about half an inch of water. I sometimes bake them in the oven and sometimes in the microwave. I've never tried cooking it whole and I thought . . it's so hard to cut them in half when they're raw, maybe cooking it whole would be great. Then, I thought . . I'm not so sure poking holes is enough so I poked about 10 holes even though the instructions said to poke a "few" holes. I set the microwave for 5 minutes, checked it, then set it for 5 more minutes and thankfully, walked away. When it exploded, it blew open the microwave door and there was spaghetti squash *everywhere*. I'll go back to my usual way of cooking spaghetti squash! Judy
