Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with compounds composed of atoms, i.e. elements, and molecules, i.e. combinations of atoms: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other compounds. Chemistry addresses topics such as how atoms and molecules interact via chemical bonds to form new chemical compounds.
squash requires a brief heat treatment, called blanching, in boiling water or steam, to destroy the enzymes before freezing. Cook (blanch) the squash for 3 minutes. Begin counting the blanching time as soon as you place the squash in the boiling water.
Directions. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a pot, blanch the squash until slightly tender, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. In an ovenproof saute pan, melt the butter and heat until it becomes a caramel color (be careful not to burn it).Toss the squash with the browned butter and season.Place pan in oven and let the squash finish cooking, approximately 15 minutes. **Chef notes: If you don't want to keep the dish in the oven, then keep cook the squash in the water, during the blanching process, and serve immediately after sauteing.oss the squash with the browned butter and season.
