    I saw this link posted on Facebook this morning and within a few minutes, had popped two squash into my slow cooker. A few minutes ago (six hours later), I took the squash out and am so impressed! It is thoroughly cooked, nice and sweet, no scalding, *easy* to remove the seeds, and clean-up was a dream. This is my new favourite way to do squash.

    The squash used by the author of this article was Butternut, but I cooked a smaller variety, about the size of an acorn squash. I see in the comments below the article that people have done small pumpkins this way, too.

    The author mentioned cooking the squash on low for 8 hours. Mine were finished when I checked them at the 6 hour point, and likely were done at 5 hours.

    UPDATE - This is such a convenient way to cook squash, but if you have any sensitivies to seeds, then you should probably cook them the usual way in the oven, cleaning out the seed pocket of the squash beforehand.

    Very cool. I have one small butternut squash from my garden, but haven't gotten around to cooking it yet.

    Oh my goodness - i have just finished this. It was so easy!!

    I had a small pepper squash that i threw in my crockpot , as well as a sweet potato.
    Did 1 hour low, then 2 on high.
    Checked with a knife and it went in so easily - let them cool a few minutes, cut the squash in half -those
    seeds came SOOOOO easily. It's fabulous!!

    Thanks so much for sharing!!
