It's just, I'm not kidding, I was worried I was going to break the knife in half it was that hard as I was struggling to cut it in half. I even had my father come in and try and he could barely get the blade to move into the flesh (and he's an ex-football player). Admittedly, it looked effortful in your video when you did it but it didn't look quite that bad so I was wondering if I had missed something or if there was some hint you could give me. I'll try cooking it a few minutes next time or maybe have the people at the grocery store see if they can cut in half in the back before I take it home. Yep, I watched the video.

I just have a technique to make it a little easier but I always do it raw. It is a tough job! Cooking it slightly may work but I've never tried it. Did you watch my video?

It was VERY hard (the flesh inside seemed fine, but the rind was almost rock like). Do you do something to help you along like leave them out to ripen or...I honestly don't know, but am wondering if there's a trick to it. Should I try baking the whole squash for a few minutes at high heat? I don't think it's my knives as they seem pretty sharp for everything else.

Anyway, I really want to try these butternut squash fries but I can't get the video to load. Can you email it to me directly, or check the posting. It may just be my computer, but all of the other videos have been working fine. Thanks! Rachel Hi Roni,

You mentioned that you sometimes cut the pieces on Sunday and store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. How long will they last in the refrigerator like that? Could you also freeze them? Thank you! Hi Roni,
