ACORN SQUASH INSTANT POT WITHOUT CUTTING SKIN
I like to cut mine into fourths and I leave the skin on and eat it.You can roast them later just like you would pumpkin seeds. Use a large spoon to scoop out seeds and stringy parts and discard them.
Hold the acorn squash carefully and cut it in half with a sharp knife from tip to stem. Then you will have a nice flat top and you can place the squash top down onto a cutting board without it slipping. I think the easiest way is to start by cutting off the stem. This can seem very intimidating and not worth the work, but trust me it is worth it! When picking out an acorn squash look for one with dull dark green skin and a few orange spots.
