i do microwave them to soften- i got "into" spaghetti and acorn/butternut in college, so i had super crappy knives. there is no safe way to cut those squashes with dull knives.....so it is just habit now.
Glad you are being careful- i managed to stick a knife in my hand a few years ago using the "safe technique" to get pit by sticking knife in pit and pulling it out. I had to get stiches and and when i finally got home from ER, the only food left in house was the salad i had been making.....now sprayed in blood
The salad was supposed to be my first meal of day (lunch) after a very long run....it was now close to 10pm....i ate the salad

after softening squash, i do prefer to cook in oven. they get watery in microwave- but just to cut them more easily, the microwave doesn't seem to damage them. plus you can cut down oven time!
