You can get an estimate of aircraft operating costs on AOPA's website or at conklindd.com. For a small single-engine fixed-gear aircraft like a Cessna 172, operating costs can be between $100-$200 per flight hour.
Insert the vegetable steamer into the saucepan. Add the cut squash into the vegetable steamer and cover the pot with the lid. Let the squash steam, covered, until crisp tender. This will be about 5-to-77 minutes. Using the pot holder, remove the vegetable steamer from the pot and pour the steamed squash or zucchini into a serving dish. Serve hot with salt and pepper and melted butter if desired.
Next, you want to put the squash, face down, in a 9Ã13 glass baking dish. Fill the dish with about an inch of water and microwave the squash for 15 minutes. Check to see if the squash is soft enough â it may need 3 to 5 more minutes to cook. The squash will be steaming hot â be careful when removing from microwave.
