question: if you bake it whole, isn't there a chance it could explode in the oven if there's no vent for steam to escape?
Like a potato can explode in the oven if there are no vent slits.
I suppose that is a possibility. I've never had it happen to me, thankfully. This particular squash, on the side touching the ground, there seemed to be a hole from something. Maybe that helped.
