How to cook squash in the microwave?

To cook squash in the microwave, first wash the squash and pierce it with a fork. Then, place it in a microwave-safe dish with a little water. Cover the dish with a lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 5-10 minutes, depending on the size of the squash. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork. Let it cool before handling.
