Here's a tip on squash. I do this when I need squash for a casserole such as Tim's. You can put the squash in a microwave safe dish, either sliced or whole with some holes punched in them, cover the container with plastic wrap and punch some holes in that. I just sort of have a feel for how long to cook it. Usually a big bowl of squash takes about 8 minutes to steam well in the wave. I normally put them in whole because I'm a pretty good guesser on how many I need to make the cup amount.

I find this method to make draining them a lot easier. I don't lose as much of the squash meat during the draining process. Less chance that the moisture will water down the texture of the dish I'm making, as well. Give it a try.
