Well, there’s good news: you might cook spaghetti squash in your pressure cooker.
In general, your pressure cooker gets things done much faster.
Step 1: Wash
Start bywashing your spaghetti squash.
Note: We tested 3- and 312-pound squashes, which both worked.
Add 1 cup water.
Lock lid in place.
Step 4: Cook
Set electric pressure cooker on high pressure to cook 7 minutes.
Release any remaining pressure.
Step 6: Shred and Serve
Can You Pressure Cook Spaghetti Squash Whole?
When the squash was cool enough to handle, we found inconsistent cooking throughout.
The edges were cooked but the center was not.
And when we tried to start shredding the strands, it was too difficult to remove the seeds.
In a nutshell, we do not recommend cooking a whole spaghetti squash in the pressure cooker.
