How Do You Know When Squash Is Done Boiling?
To check if squash is done boiling, pierce it with a fork or a knife. If it’s tender enough to pierce easily, it’s done. Another way to know if squash is done is to taste it. If it’s soft and not too crunchy, it’s ready to be removed from the heat. The cooking time for squash can vary depending on its thickness, so it’s important to check it periodically while boiling.
