Methods and apparatuses for preparing spaghetti squash

Abstract

A spaghetti squash apparatus includes microwaveable packaging configured to contain spaghetti squash. The spaghetti squash has a skin of the spaghetti squash removed and the spaghetti squash is cut into a predetermined number of spaghetti squash portions, the predetermined number of spaghetti squash portions being packaged in the microwaveable packaging based on weight. Additionally, the spaghetti squash apparatus includes instructions for spaghetti squash preparation located on the packaging. The instructions include heating the spaghetti squash portions in the microwaveable packaging, cooling the spaghetti squash portions in the microwaveable packaging, and interacting with the spaghetti squash portions in the microwaveable packaging until noodles are formed.

1 . A spaghetti squash apparatus, comprising:
 microwaveable packaging configured to contain spaghetti squash, the spaghetti squash having a skin of the spaghetti squash removed and the spaghetti squash being cut into a predetermined number of spaghetti squash portions, the predetermined number of spaghetti squash portions being packaged in the microwaveable packaging based on weight; and   instructions for spaghetti squash preparation, the instructions being located on the microwaveable packaging and including
 heating the spaghetti squash portions in the microwaveable packaging, 
 cooling the spaghetti squash portions in the microwaveable packaging, and 
 interacting with the spaghetti squash portions in the microwaveable packaging until noodles are formed. 
   
     
     
         2 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the interacting includes using fingers to squeeze the spaghetti squash portions until the noodles are formed. 
     
     
         3 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each spaghetti squash portion is substantially 1.5 inches by 2.5 inches. 
     
     
         4 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the spaghetti squash portions remain in the microwaveable packaging for the duration of the interacting. 
     
     
         5 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the interacting occurs when the spaghetti squash portions in the microwavable packaging are removed from the microwavable packaging. 
     
     
         6 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions are displayed on an outer surface of the microwaveable packaging. 
     
     
         7 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions are displayed on an inner surface of the microwaveable packaging. 
     
     
         8 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heating the spaghetti squash portions includes microwaving the microwaveable packaging containing the spaghetti squash portions for a predetermined amount of heating time. 
     
     
         9 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined number of spaghetti squash portions is at least three spaghetti squash portions. 
     
     
         10 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the spaghetti squash portions are cooked prior to being packaged in the microwaveable packaging. 
     
     
         11 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the spaghetti squash portions are topped and tailed prior to being packaged in the microwaveable packaging. 
     
     
         12 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the microwavable packaging includes a tear notch configured to be torn a predetermined amount. 
     
     
         13 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the microwavable packaging includes a first tear notch on a first side of the microwavable packaging and a second tear notch on a second side of the microwaveable packaging, the first and second tear notch configured to be torn a predetermined amount. 
     
     
         14 . The spaghetti squash apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the microwavable packaging includes a perforation extending across the microwaveable packaging.
