Instead of putting your fingers at risk, soften it up in the microwave. First, carefully slice off the top and bottom of the squash. Use the tip of the knife to prick the squash all over.
Like water softeners, dealkalizers contain ion-exchange resins that are regenerated with a concentrated salt solution - NaCl. In the case of a water softener, the cation exchange resin is exchanging sodium (the Na + ion of NaCl) for hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium .
Water softening is the removal of calcium, magnesium, and certain other metal cations in hard water. The resulting soft water requires less soap for the same cleaning effort, as soap is not wasted bonding with calcium ions. Soft water also extends the lifetime of plumbing by reducing or eliminating scale build-up in pipes and fittings.
Slice off the ends and cut the squash into 1/2-inch thick rounds or cubes, depending on how you usually use your squash. Place the raw cubes or slices of summer squash in boiling water for 1 minute.
Cut it open to find pale orange flesh that’s firm and dry, but bakes up tender, fragrant, sweet and nutty, similar to butternut squash, with a subtle maple flavor and aroma.
Lime softening (also known as lime buttering, lime-soda treatment, or Clark's process) [1] is a type of water treatment used for water softening, which uses the addition of limewater (calcium hydroxide) to remove hardness (deposits of calcium and magnesium salts) by precipitation.
Many hobbyists use a quarantine tank prior to introduction into the main tank as it helps to rid the tomato clownfish of saltwater-borne diseases. This species of fish thrives well even without a host anemone. In the absence of a host, it may "adopt" corals of a tank to reside. [6]
Preheat the oven to 350°. Brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and season the cavities with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring 2 cups of lightly salted water to a boil.
