May be an image of hummingbird and text that says 'DID YOU KNOW? Hummingbirds enter a state called torpor each night, slowing their metabolism by 95%. Their heart rate drops from 1,200 beats per minute to just 50. It's like a Z mini-hibernation z 222 z every single night!'

Been there and done that mistake too Jimi! Mine was a pork roast in a glass baking dish, needed more water, yikes what a mess inside the oven,plus McDonalds for dinner that night. I bought metal roasting pans after that mess.
I use my Ninja on the pressure cooking setting for my butternut squash, under 10 minutes and delicious that way. I used to steam squash also in a regular pot on the stove, then remove the rind and mash, much quicker in a pressure cooker, but both ways taste great.
