Content: A tightly sealed lid is necessary to capture enough steam to blanch the spinach. If direct blanching the spinach, note that the water will likely turn green as it cooks. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/05\/Freeze-Spinach-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Freeze-Spinach-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/05\/Freeze-Spinach-Step-8.jpg\/aid6652201-v4-728px-Freeze-Spinach-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Transfer the leaves to ice water. Scoop the spinach out of the stockpot and into a large bowl filled with ice water. Keep the spinach submerged for another two minutes in this cold water. The quick transfer should stop the cooking process and halt the loss of nutrients. It should also further preserve the color and flavor of the spinach. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/51\/Freeze-Spinach-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Freeze-Spinach-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/51\/Freeze-Spinach-Step-9.jpg\/aid6652201-v4-728px-Freeze-Spinach-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
