I did add about 3 tbs. water to the pot.
For the seeds, it was just that much easier to scoop them out with the pulp all soft. For the non-seed part of the squash, I just scooped the flesh out of the skin with a spoon after it was done.
For squash puree (including pumpkin) I think this is the way to go! Just pop the squash in first thing in the am and you're set to go. And I have nearly 4 cups of squash in the fridge. Soup, maybe?
