    I love butternut squash just the way it is - just steam bake & feast - no adding anything - especially extra calories. - 5/29/09

    I do this too, but I use the microwave, much faster. I also cut it in half first - 11/6/07

    I do something similar. I half the acorn squash and remove seeds, then place on a cookie sheet. In the well left by the seeds I put 1 pat of butter and sprinkle with either brown sugar and cinnamon or real maple syrup and bake 30 minutes covered with tin foil, then 15 uncovered at 375. - 11/18/10

    Delicious. My research found a cubed cup of raw butternut weighs 205 g. It must take a huge squash to yield 6 cups (1220 g). ;) Mine yielded just 375 g of uncooked squash. - 7/7/11
