Cut it in half, cover with brown sugar and some honey and bake for 45 minutes and it is amazing.
thats how i eat mine! Its like yams but better!
Basically any squash acorn squash is delicious this way as well as spaghetti squash
Tim Wise Yesssssssss😋
Never heard about adding honey. Interesting 🤔
I enjoy a good amount of cracked black pepper as well. Just to add a bit of zip to the sweet.
Every American on here is confused by his confusion. Like, we eat these. A lot.
TyrealArchea I think most Brits are too. Thought everyone knew about them. I’m a Brit.
🤣👍 American here, I thought he was joking at first.
American here also...I was like huh? Hes gonna turn it like its wood 😮
These are popular here on Canada too. In our house we often slice ours in half, put in brown sugar and nutmeg, plus a dollop of butter, then wrap the halves back together to roast it. Then add some Maple syrup
I'm another Brit who is baffled. How has not come across one before????
Weeks ago: let's make a bowl
Months ago: let's make a pot
Today: let's make soup!
@EpicUndead 🤦 😂
Butternut squash soupe with cream serve in a butternut squash bowl :-p
Ya see he needed to pot to boil the soup and the bowl to put it in for dinner.
Butternut squash: *exists*
NZ: I have to show everyone this
I've had like two hours of sleep in the last two days and the way he pronounces butternut squash as "butt-a-nut" made me laugh harder than it should have.
😆
Take a nap
@@faithreturns333 It's 2:07 in the morning my time and I have insomnia.
I got 10 hrs last night and it made me giggle pretty good lol
Now that is funny as hell 😂
Haha me too. Hope ya got some sleep.
NZ: I have no idea what this is...
Also NZ: Lets throw it on the lathe!!
😂😂😂😂
Yep and take revenge on the veggies ! 😄
And I'm living in NZ!
And Butternut comes from NZ 🤣
NZNZNZ
Best!
NZ: “Look at these! These colorful sticks are labeled.... trini - trot - ul - ene. Huh. Let’s put it on the lathe!”
Us: “No, wait! That’s not how you pronounce that! That’s TNT! ..... 😨😨😨
I have never laughed so hard when you got to the seeds, I'm from Australia and eat butternut pumpkin all the time. Never have I ever thought I would turn it in to a pot.
Very entertaining..Thank you
If he'd ever eaten one of those he wouldn't have done that with it, he'd have cooked it and eaten it.
Those are delish! We eat them all the time.
They’re nasty.... better turning than eating... 🤢🤮🤢
That's exactly what I was thinking. Delish, can even get the kids to eat it yet they say they hate pumpkin lol
@@coffebug I make them savory or sweet, my granddaughters eat whatever we put in front of them I guess I am lucky.
@@mystikarain one of my boys is good and will eat most vegetables except pumpkin and the other would rather fight about why he won't touch them . One night it was a 3 hour stand off over carrots and how they are disgusting his brother ate all of his got dessert and he got to eat the carrots cold.
Yeah I'm from Australia, and when I saw it I was like:
..... ummm.? It's a pumpkin...
Yeah it's definitely a pumpkin
Yeah it's a pumpkin,
It's literally a butternut pumpkin. I was like, squash?
To us Western hemisphere folk, 🎃 minus the face is a pumpkin .
@@jenni8982 Yeah until you cut them open and its the same thing
Most people: Get the knife. I want to see what's inside.
Nick: No, I'm going to use the lathe.
we love butternut squash here in america. i've been eating them all my life lol
you know, the shape of the butternut squash almost makes it look like it's already been on a lathe 🤔
by the way, please try eating a butternut squash too, they're delicious!
I would say you went bananas, but I squashed that idea!
🤣
I came here to be Entertained, I am.
Butternut Squash makes a delicious cream soup! Great for a cold Fall or Winter evening! Cheers!
Good heavens, no!! 🤮
When my husband was vegan one of the few foods he'd make that was good was a butternut squash and apple soup. So tasty!
I'm in NY and butternut squash is grown every year here lol IT'S FROM THE SAME FAMILY AS THE PUMPKIN
I’m in nj it’s wired to hear someone say they have no clue what it is
We have them everywhere in the UK too. He must live in a cave if he doesn't know what one is.
@@fishstikk89 Lol. He's cool though. I'm in the central US and still find new veggies that are native to the US as I get older.
It IS a pumpkin 🤷🏻♀️ As Nick said in the video, we call them Butternut Pumpkins here in Australia. They're the most delicious tasting pumpkin to roast, steam, use for pumpkin soup 🤤😋
@Cierra Young Technically it's just a regional name, certain regions would also refer to the varieties as pumpkins or squash as a "gourd". If you want to be scientifically correct they're Curcubita.
You should Immerse it in silica gel for a few weeks, it'll dry it out and preserve it, then varnish it! Pukka!
That's a fantastic idea.
Or stick it in resin
Has very little structure when dried. Need to replace the water with some kind of polymer. They use this to preserve shipwrecks and even cadavers.
I was wondering if you can maybe dry and stabilise it somehow. ... What am I even saying...
Me: oh noooo he’s gonna try turning it and hit the nasty insides!!
Him: SO IVE HIT SOME PITS
*pumpkin guts fly everywhere*
Need a long handled spoon
I started laughing and told my hubby Nick was going to get a surprise when he got down to the seeds😂
I cracked up when he called it "pits". We always call it the guts.
I honestly thought everyone knew what a butternut squash was😂it’s literally just a squash and SO delicious
One of my favorite squashes ever! Split in half lengh-wise and remove the seeds. Bake in the oven (I use a glass dish) with about a half inch water cut side down at 350° F , covered with foil for about 30 minutes. Remove foil, flip cut side up, lather with butter and brown sugar and finish roasting sans foil for about 10-15 minutes. OMGosh! So good.( Oven temps and times might vary 😁)
🤣🤣🤣 the confusion at the beginning had me laughing way too hard! cause i actually eat those all the time (they are quite common here in Argentina)
Common in USA too. I have a few planted in my garden right now.
Probably the fastest and easiest way to peel it 😂
meh
*Edit*
TH-cam recommended me this video with it being uploaded 6 seconds into posting. Never watched this TH-camr before, but I am here to stay :D
Welcome aboard! It may be hard to believe, but this isn't the weirdest thing he's done. It's up there though.
Welcome to the rabbit whole that's called wood turning it soothe my panic attacks so im also here ti stay and found some cool others also but nick i the zaniest funniest off them all
You won't be disappointed, hes crazy but brilliant.
Welcome, like it's been said, he's crazy but brilliant, if you haven't already seen it, check out his Ketchup Bowl project.
😜🙏🏽🤣👍🏽
Nick : "Maybe we can make something!"
Me, an Oklahoman : "Um, yeah! Supper!" 🤣🤣🤣
Throw those seeds on the windowsill and when dry, throw them in the ground to run along a fence away from frost!! I think in spring😊
Everyone saying you make pies out of butternut squash and I'm over here like I must be basic cuz I like it just baked in the oven and then some butter and brown sugar on top. Scoop it right off the rind! 😄
Nothing wrong with basic butternut.
But when your vines go nutz,* well, you're going to want some alternatives.
*They really do tend to over-produce.
I cut it in half, brush it with a little oil to keep it from drying out, and roast it. Great with butter, salt and pepper. I also put roasted butternut through a food mill and make pumpkin pie with it. It’s very versatile
Haven't read al the coments but it seems everybody is missing the ingenious way of peeling it!! Try doing that with a knive. 😎
That's what I was going to say!
Never snickered so much at a butternut squash before 🤣🤣🤣 Also still waiting on the colored pencil crown, Sir! 💞
God willing and I am still alive and kicking, I'm going to TRY to make it to Makers Central in May, 2021. I'm not a wood Turner (only because I do not have the tools or the health), but I am SO in love with this channel and all the beautiful things that you make. I want so badly to meet you in person and (hopefully) buy something that you (and/or Charlie) have made. Your channel and your son's bring so much joy and entertainment to my otherwise pretty dreary life. Thank you for that ❤ my husband says to tell you "hello" from him too.
BTW, Butternut Squash is amazingly delicious when you cut it in half, lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds, then place the halves in a shallow baking dish filled with water (making sure the water is lower than the height of the squash so that it does not leak into the cavity). Fill each squash half with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees f. For about 45 minutes. Then remove squash from the pan being very careful not to spill the buttery GOODNESS out...then scoop and eat with a spoon. It is AWESOME!!! If you have Acorn squash, you cook it the same way, it is wonderful too 😄❤🍽
This comment section is a whole recipe book complete with oven degrees and everything
Place the seeds of the butternut into the oven (don't forget to remove the strings and excess squash) at about 350 for about 10 minutes... Those are so delicious 😋
I like to do that with pumpkin seeds too
Toss them with melted butter and salt.
Or Old Bay seasoning.
I didn't know you could do that with butternut squash! I've been wasting the seeds all my life😭
Yep , yummy. Those were really plump, so otta be really good!
Trying to cut these things when my kids were babies were the bane of my life. They loved butternut squash, but it hated cutting and cooking the damn thing
No Yorkshire Grit this time? Dissapointed.
Not even any shella wax
Lol
Just some Henderson's! 😂
Came here for this comment
I wanna know what it looks like once the butternut squash drys out
That would be interesting I would want to see that too
What fun to watch you discover butternut squash! It's so YUMMY!!! You can dry the seeds in a window sill then plant them and grow your own. Enjoy Nick!! Thank you, again, for sharing your with with us. Love watching what you create. 💚
OMG I want some butternut squash now lol
I want to see a resin filled pumpkin. Then peel the outside off and look at the seeds. Maybe too much water.
Matthew kizziah definitely too much water BUT I like where you're headed! Maybe toast the seeds and cast them in an orange resin? Shape it like a jack-o-lantern?
It's a real pleasure to see your enthousiasme about something as simple as a butternut squash. 😀
Your vids always can cheer me up. Im going through a really hard time in my life rn, so it means so much to be able to just, not think about life for a few minutes and just be genuinely happy. Thank you for being you! ❤️ Never stop wafflin.
Bless his soul, he didn't know there are different types of pumpkins/squashes
Lockdown does strange things to people 😂😂
I dig your humor and art. One of my favorite "wood and resin "tubers! Thanks for sharing. Your kiddo is quite the future star also
Nick. I always walk away from the end of your videos, every sentence starting with "I never would have thought...."
I never would have thought you could turn a squash
I never would have thought you could turn a potato
I never would have thought of using stir sticks from a coffee shop
The list starts there and goes on. Nick, thank you so much for sparking other's imaginations by using your own in such fantastically diverse and weird ways.
They're called butternut pumpkins here in Australia - great roasted!
Cut in half, remove seeds, put some olive oil on the cut side. Cut side down on a baking sheet, 350 (Fahrenheit) until a fork stabs with no resistance. Scoop out into a blender, add chicken stock, salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder, I also personally recommend a hint of cinnamon and smoked paprika. Blend until soupy and garnish with bacon
One of my favorite soups! You’re making food art!! You should make a whole series with different fruits and veggies!
Great to hear that Makers Central will be on again next year. Can't wait!
I wonder if you can pre-prepare a whole meal with your tools, Lol I love your videos
Maybe his work place will turn onto one. Pumpkin stripes everywhere. 🙈
I’d imagine he’d have to at the very least clean the lathe and tools thoroughly. Splinters and resin in my food, no thanks
One of my favorite squash. Stuff and bake it.
Jennifer Forrest maybe post a recipe? I just bake with butter and brown sugar.... nummy!
Thank you so much for your wholesome content. This is the exact medicine that I need in this crazy crazy world right now. Stay strong and keep going!
Sweet! That was a really delicate touch to keep that together through the turning. Nicely done.
It’s a type of pumpkin, we get them all time here in Melbourne, they make lovely pumpkin soup and also roast really well, very yummy.
The proper tool to remove the seeds is a long-handled spoon.
You know, if you ever want to try this again.
I just shared the video with my 88 year old mother who used to teach Home economics. She used to cook squash like this for Thanksgiving or Christmas for the family. Very delicious!
This is so cool! His excitement to it is inspiring. But I was also like, “who’s gonna tell him it’s not solid inside” 0.0 still cool seeing him not give up and make something cool!!
I was waiting for it to just explode and fly apart the entire time
That was the best. I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing. Only you my favourite crazy man of many materials. Love your Back to the Future sleeve! Have you seen the floating DeLorean on Facebook. You were the first person I thought of when I saw it.
Happy days! I just put one in my backyard to dry, do that I can make a pot. I ordered a wood burner and inks to decorate it ♥
Nick this is why I love your channel. Never know what to expect. You always bring a smile to my face. Thanks for a another great video.
Definitely keep us updated as it drys out please, it should be interesting. Love your videos
Butternut squash? YES PLEASE!
I haven’t even watched yet but this is a waste of perfectly good potential soup.
As someone who grew up in a region where you can't walk more than 10 feet without stepping on one of these during the fall, watching someone who's never seen one encounter a butternut squash for the first time and experiment with it in order to learn about is just about the most pure thing I've ever seen. Look up some recipes next! You wont be disappointed!
Great job Nick! Love the squash pot. 😂😂
Your videos are among the best of youtube in my opinion. And it's neat to hear you talking about makers central again.
Oh Nick!! Thank you so much, I really needed a good laugh today and you didn't disappoint, I just have this image in my head of your lovely wife standing there palm to head🤦♀️saying to herself 'this could go horribly wrong '. It didn't, it was brilliant and thanks for saving MY sanity. X
Next: wood turning a turnip!
I can't wait for Makers Central next year.
I had an awesome time at the event last year, I went as a post dissertation celebration and I am already hype to experience it again!
I would pay to watch you carve pumpkins all day long! Can't wait till October! Love to see what you do!
Never thought I’d love watching someone turn a squash. Love these cute and quirky videos!!
Props to you for finding a new way to peel & prepare a butternut squash!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Nick, greetings from across the pond in Central Virginia. I am amazed at your skill as a wood turner to be able to do what you did to that squash. Keep up the great work!
I love these just diced and roasted, nothing added, just on its own.
This is hilarious and I laughed so hard hahaha adorable that you had never heard of those! It’s a super cute pot however probably wouldn’t last very long 😂👌
What! Where have you been loving 😂 I think you might be the only one that never heard of one Nick
Gives new meaning to the phrase 'playing with your food!' 😆 Lol!
I learned about butternut Squash last year. I love them drizzled with a bit of salted butter and pepper to taste then baked in the oven until tender. Yummy 😋
Only Nick Zametti could make a gourd such fun! You make me smile!!
Finally! An easy way to peel butternut squash!
It is just a pumpkin only more elongated. In Argentina it is common as water and It's called calabaza.
I remove the shell, the seeds and cook it in the oven, sliced with salt and oil until it softens. It is very delicious.
🤦🏽♀️oh my mielies that you did’t know this pumpkin. Bit so funny to see you had so much fun
Nick must make the most amazing jack-o-lanterns if this is him just playing around with squash.
😂🤣 Nick your weirdness makes my day. Really enjoy your waffles. Thank you for the Makers Central update.
Seriously, I thought it was going to explode and a bunch of butternut and seeds! It’s a sweet squash. You are amazing Mr. Z!
OMG!! I laughed SOOO hard during this whole video! Ive cooked and eaten many butternut squash over the years and knew what was coming next. It was hilarious to watch you discover this vegetable.
THANK YOU!! I needed a big laugh.
Looooove butternut squash! Acorn squash too. Cut in half, scoop the guts, butter in the scooped section, a little salt, wrap in aluminum wrap, and bake in oven. Sooooooo yummy!
Your workshop always looks so clean when you start....... and then the mess happens 😀
This makes me want to see what it would be like putting a pumpkin on a lathe 🎃
Glad to hear maker central is coming back, haven't been to one and won't be able to make this one, but love the community, and your work. As always keep making funky stuff!!
😂🤣😆🤪😀 this was so funny! You actually did a fabulous job creating a pot out of it. Thanks for the laugh. It’s been a rough week. 🎺🎺🎺
Nick, here in the US, especially in the Southern states, it would be common when deciding to attempt to turn a butternut squash on a lathe, to hear someone say"Hold my beer, watch this!" That was insane! I was laughing the whole way through and also a little sad. Butternut squash is DELICIOUS! We make them often. I encourage you to look online for ways to cook them and enjoy one. Great video!
So glad you guys are soldiering on with MakerCentral. Hope to make it over some time.
My favorite butternut squash recipe is a delicious butternut squash risotto. Now I’m starving. Thanks Nick.
Fun little project. Love me some butternut squash. Good stuff. Really enjoyed that. Especially your dialogue when you found the seeds/guts. Would love to go to Maker's Central. Just starting out myself and have lots to learn. Hopefully one day, as long as it keeps going, I can get over there. Happy Father's Day to you!!! Best weekend for us Dads!!!
This is why i like this channel 😂 you never know what you will see!🎺🎺
This is the most random thing I've seen all year 😂😂 Love You Nick ❤ Good Watch As Always x
All kinds of side dishes for turning out there. “ Hmmmmm. This looks turnable. What is it? “ 😂😂 Thank you, I needed the giggle. My 19 year old wants to go to the D.M.V. this morning . 😕
Very clever. This made me smile 😀 I love your show, please keep waffling!
I'm an Aussie and we call them butternut pumpkins. To us, a squash is small, rounded and yellow with a green top. Butternuts have seeds and pulp inside like a pumpkin, squashes are more like a zucchini (or aubergine).
You definitely love to live up to the crazy part of your statement about the show. I love it.
You freekin crack me up! Its so fun to watch what you come up with.
Well...you've gone done did it again!! Always so fun to watch and love that you're such a kid and have a sense of adventure!!! Also, really fancy the spectacles!! Keep it up Nick!! xx
Chop up some onions, celery and garlic. Mix it with some mince with salt pepper and basil. Stuff the mince concoction into the squash and place the lid back on. Put 2cm of water in a baking dish and place the squash into the pan standing up. Place into a 180c oven covered in tinfoil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil after 1 hour and cover with a GOOD cheddar cheese and then broil until the cheese is melted and golden brown. YUUUUUUUUM!!!!!!
Crazy! I can't believe you turned that.
Common vegetable most people have seen/heard of/eaten before
Nick: OwO what's this?
Never change 😂
