Re: O/T Need help with cooking my squash

[Guest guest]

Whatever is cooked above 118F is dead. It doesn't matter how it is

heated. Dead food cannot give you life. That's why sprouts are so

important.

Urbara,

Please tell me where you got this information. I need documentation.

Re: O/T Need help with cooking my squash

Microwaves kill all the nutrients in food. The scientist who invented the

icrowave - originally for weaponry, forbade the use of the microwave in his

wn home. That should tell you something.

Just like the Chief Scientist who created aspartame advised against putting

t on the market due to its deadly effects.

I put it in whole. Sometimes I take a knife and just stick it in and pull

t back out to give it a bit of a vent, but I have also done it without and

ever had a problem. Microwaveing not only cooks it to perfection but

t makes the cutting, scooping out the seeds, and removing the good part

[Guest guest]

Hi All!!!

I can't believe my one little question about Squash got SO MANY replies. I know

I said I was going to microwave it today. Well, I didn't. Not because of losing

nutrition(actually I didn't know that microwaving killed any nutrition).

I just said to myself " Do I want to run my microwave for 30 minutes? " The answer

was no. I have never used my microwave for longer than 7 minutes. Usually it's

3 minutes.

So I got out my bamboo steamer, lined it with wax paper, poked some holes in the

squash, (after cutting it and scooping out seeds).

Because I was putting it face down in the bamboo steamer I didn't add any

seasoning until I got to the mash part of it.

So I steamed it, (very low heat), and steamed it. It took A LONG TIME. One hour.

But it was very tender. Then I scooped out the flesh, mashed and added some

cinnamon, some Olivio (no trans fat spread), and some Stevia.

Well!! Alan loved it.

Since my friend around the corner has been visiting her mother in the hospital,

I made her dinner and brought it over to her at 6 p.m.

I made grilled chicken, some bok choi and THE SQUASH. I didn't know she was a

squash lover.

Never saw anyone dig into my food do heartily. I loved it. She loved it.

So no microwaving for me. I am looking at youtube videos for various baking

recipes. They are all about the same.

But I am enjoying this vegetable. I haven't eaten it in a long time.

I also made zucchini as another side dish tonight. So actually I had two squash

sides.

How many kinds of squash are there? My landlord grows these 6 foot ones in the

back yard during the summer. These long ones are the only kind of squash that I

don't like. I do like the butternut, the spaghetti (I don't use it as

spaghetti), I just take the fork and do the strands and put it on my plate. I

have never used tomato sauce ona spaghetti squash. I just might do that some

day.

Nice talking squash with all of you.

Oh, I brought her a nice sprout salad. She gobbled it up.

Hi EW,

Well, to say that this whole article has me re-thinking my microwave use is

putting it mildy. I read each and every word and I clicked on a video about

diabetes and electrosensivity.

I found that video on youtube and I'm posting it here for all of the diabetics

to look at and come to their own conclusion. I also posted this video on a

diabetes forum.

Absolutely mind-boggling if this is indeed true. (And I see no reason why it

would not be true).

So here's the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJcM6RZwyfA & feature=player_embedded

Hey, why not use a sprout message board (where some of us are indeed diabetic),

to get some info out. Then people can make up their own mind, right?

I know me, I'm probably going to use my microwave oven MUCH LESS.

I'll heat stuff up on the stove, or in my oven.

Melody, there is absolutely no need to be diabetic. Diabetics can

generally be healed within one month. I have to search for a video.

As soon as I find it I will post it.

Thank you for posting that Melody.

i agree, with the information, we can make our own decisions.

I like that the researcher provided documentation for her assertions as well as

published in a peer-reviewed journal.

You have inspired me to get another bamboo steamer (I have worn out several!).

n

[Guest guest]

Hi n.

Before you go and buy that bamboo steamer, let me share what I discovered

yesterday when I grabbed my bamboo steamer to start cooking my squash. I had one

of those 3 tiered ones, meaning you can cook two separate levels and then put

the cover on it.

Well, yesterday I walked over to the bamboo steamer, separated the two steamers

and because I had only used that one (I had never used the other one), I noticed

that there were green round spots (dried completely) and I said " what the heck,

is this mold " ?

I wasn't taking any chances. I threw it out, because after all, I still had the

other one, which I used to steam my squash. And I rinsed and let it air dry.

Let me go and look (because 24 hours have passed), let's see if there is any

green round things on the one I used yesterday.

Okay, I just checked. It's clean, dry and no round green things on it. Perhaps,

(with the other one), I should have not restacked it when I washed it. Perhaps

one should (after using a bambooo steamer), just let it be exposed to the air

and not cover it?

I don't know but this time, I have it on the shelf with no cover and it dried

and it looks fine.

I have to go and research this.

Will update.

[Guest guest]

Melody,

thanks for the heads up. I don't know what happened there, but when I did use

Bamboo Steamers, I would let the parts dry out separately. The largest I have

had is a small 3 tier and a large 3 tier.

I am a little paranoid about mold. I do like steaming things though.

thanks for the info.

n

looking forward to stir-fried sprouts with garlic and onions tonight with crusty

whole wheat bread!

Hi.

I have seen this video before. I believe it. It's not that I don't believe it. I

lost a tremendous amount of weight simply by sprouting. I really don't know if I

can go completely raw.

I just might do another experiment someday and try a completely raw diet.

Years ago, I gave up all sugar, all the refined stuff, etc, but I still steam

stuff and eat some chicken, fish and bison.

For me, the way I feel after eating this way is GOOD!!!

I am only on a small amount of insulin.

It would be cool if I could someday go off it completely.

And when 2012 comes around, if what they say will happen, HAPPENS, then I

guarantee you ALL of us will be on a Raw Food Diet. There won't be any more

electricity. So no cooking.

But I am thinking about what I saw in that video.

some day...

lol

Hi all!!!

Well, today I made the absolute best acorn squash I have ever tasted. And the

way it looked!! So, naturally I made a video. It's only 90 seconds but you'll

see how lovely it looks. And the way it tasted. My husband said " this is

terrific " .

If you work in an office and the only choice, if you want hot food, is the

microwave, you have to use it.

Re: Re: O/T Need help with cooking my squash

After my husband and I read an article about microwave safety, we chose to

get rid of our microwave. I do not think it is true that microwaves kill all

nutrients in food. I have eaten a lot of microwaved food and felt nourished

afterwards. I certainly doubt that it could kill macro nutrients like

protein and carbohydrates. But I do think it can have very bad effects on

food and may contribute to diseases like cancer. I think people who are

health conscious needs to research this for themselves, and we can all make

our own decisions. I just decided it is not worth the risk, and I don't

think it takes much longer to cook foods on the stovetop then in the

microwave. The other day I wanted to use a frozen dinner (organic). It would

have taken about 5 minutes in the microwave or about 50 minutes in the oven.

And those are the only choices the box gave. But I thought outside the box.

Why not use the steamer? So I put some purified water in my pot, put my

vegetable steamer in that, took the frozen food out of the microwavable bowl

and set it in the steamer, turned the heat on to high, and walked away.

About five minutes later I had a great meal.

If I go to someone's house and they serve microwaved food, of course I will

eat it and not say anything. Likewise at work--though I would probably

consider having sandwiches or similar food that can be eaten cold. I don't

think it is usually healthy to be extreme, at least not for me because my

marriage suffers whenever I get too extreme about health food. It seems I

have to eat some frozen pizza now and then just to keep the peace! (but I

now have my husband trained to buy me vegetarian pizza so he can have his

fat-loaded sausage and pepperoni nasty pizza that makes me sick when I just

eat one bite while I eat my vegetarian spinach pizza loaded with broccoli

sprouts on top and feeling great afterwards! (that is what we are having for

dinner tonight . It has been a while since I've had broccoli sprouts, and

these are SO GOOD! (the caps are dedicated to Melody cause I usually don't

I just asked my husband how he feels after eating all that pizza--all nasty

and sluggish and about to throw up? And he said, " yeah, but I didn't want to

Not necessarily, I work on an office environment and love hot soup in

the cold weather. So I go a bit old school and use a thermos. It works

great. They have some really nice ones now. Not like the ones that broke

all the time when I was a kid.

I think we have just forgotten the things we did before microwaves.

Lorri in NH

[Guest guest]

Thermos we have now keep things so hot. They are greatly improved over the old

lunch box variety I also had (mine was a Cinderella and Shen that broke, lost in

space)

The insulated food containers are good too.

Luann, just be patient with your husband and support him. Eventually

he will come over to your side because deep down he also wants to

feel good.

I can attest to that--when I first met my husband he was amused by my eating

habits and would occasionally tease me about them. Like Luann, I would

compromise and eat some of the things he liked. Now the tables have entirely

turned--we both eat a vegan diet incorporating as much raw and living foods as

possible. He likes to tell other people about how we eat in the hope of getting

them to eat healthier.So change does happen. He went from being a serious

carnivore to a vegetarian to a vegan to a part-time raw foodist :)In the midst

of his transitions, someone gave us some trout. So I prepared it for him and

while eating it, a little round piece of fish rolled off onto the plate, which

he then ate. He asked me what it was and I didn't want to tell him, but he

insisted--it was the eyethat was the end of his fish eating.

Squash is just delicious if you saute it in ginger, garlic, onions then put

coconut milk, let it boil, then add the squash until it is a bit soft, add a bit

of mustard leaves until cooked. Remove from heat. you can add shrimp or

crabmeat before putting in the squash and mustard leaved if you wish. taste

would even be better.

because they have a great keeping ability. They will keep for a long time in a

cool dark place. So you can cook one now and one later. The yellow on the skin

is normal. There is even a variety that is all yellow that is called Golden

Acorn. Go to your favorite search engine and type in Acorn squash recipes. Lots

of thing you can do with them. Remember, they store well, so if you get an

opportunity to get more, take it.
