softening squash?

My squash is too hard to cut. I've had the same problem with jicama and I wondered if there was a way to soften them without nuking. Perhaps soaking for a long time? I have an acorn that may well have been cooked from sitting in my car this summer. Anyone know how hot car interiors get when it's about 104 outside? Probably in the 130s so I ought to just toss it. Anyway, the question still stands, How do you soften a squash without nuking or similar high temp treatment?

  • Well thanks that was quite informative! I think I'll go the soaking route because there's no way a squash is fitting in my dehydrator.
