Last time I tried cubing butternut squash, I almost gave up. I read online to put some slash marks in it, and then microwave for 3 to 5 minutes. Made a huge difference. I used one of the y peelers (new so that blade was sharp), and it peeled great.
Not too bad really for a good homemade soup, or whatever else you can make with the squash.
