To speed things along, wrap each zucchini in plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Let the squash stand, still wrapped, for an additional minute before continuing with step 2.

Look for small, very firm zucchini squash with a shiny skin. They will be fresher and more tender than the larger ones and would therefore be a better value for your money.
