I have a 3 lb spaghetti squash I want to cook for supper tonight. Can
anyone tell me how long to boil it before I try to scrape a spaghetti-like
substance from it? I've seen conflicting information on it. Are the
leftovers edible when reheated?

You can absolutely reheat spaghetti squash.
How To Cook Spaghetti Squash
• Bake It -- Pierce the whole shell several times with a large fork or
skewer and place in baking dish. Cook squash in preheated 375°F oven
approximately 1 hour or until flesh is tender.
• Boil It -- Heat a pot of water large enough to hold the whole
squash. When the water is boiling, drop in the squash and cook for 20 to
30 minutes, depending on its size. When a fork goes easily into the
flesh, the squash is done.
• Microwave It -- Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Place
squash cut sides up in a microwave dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover with
plastic wrap and cook on high for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on size of
squash. Add more cooking time if necessary. Let stand covered, for 5
minutes. With fork "comb" out the strands.
• Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot - Choose a smaller spaghetti squash
(unless you have an extra large slow cooker) so that it will fit. Add 2
cups of water to slow cooker. Pierce the whole shell several times with
a large fork or skewer, add to Crock Pot, cover and cook on low for 8 to
9 hours.
Once the squash is cooked, let it cool for 10 to 20 minutes so it will
be easier to handle, before cutting in half (if it wasn't already) and
removing the seeds. Pull a fork lengthwise through the flesh to separate
it into long strands. (See photos.) You can do these steps ahead of
time, then prepare any of the spaghetti squash recipes whenever the mood
strikes.
