Boil squash with the skin on?

It is not recommended to boil squash with the skin on. The skin of the squash can be tough and fibrous, and it can also contain bacteria. Boiling the squash with the skin on can cause the skin to become even tougher, and it can also make the squash more difficult to peel.

When boiling squash, it is best to peel it first. This can be done with a vegetable peeler or a knife. Once the squash is peeled, cut it into cubes. Then, place the squash in a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Cook the squash for about 10-15 minutes, or until it is tender. Drain the squash and serve.

Boiling squash with the skin on will not make the squash more nutritious. In fact, it can actually reduce the nutritional value of the squash, as some of the nutrients can be lost during the cooking process.
