Blanch the spinach for 2 minutes. Quickly dunk the full batch of spinach in the water and cover the stockpot. Start watching the clock immediately, and remove it after two minutes pass. If steam-blanching the spinach, place the leaves in the steamer basket and immediately cover it with the lid. 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.
