You can also blanch spinach in a microwave steamer. A steamer allows you to season the steaming liquid so that the scent and flavor clings lightly to the cooked leaves. Fill the bottom part of the steamer with stock, wine or water and seasonings, such as garlic cloves. Steam the spinach, covered with the vented lid, for 3 minutes on high for a 1/2 pound of spinach. A steamed spinach recipe can also be prepared in a microwave-safe plastic bag, as long as it can be partially sealed. Because the seal in a plastic bag is much tighter, it will take less time to cook. Microwave spinach on high for about 2 minutes. As is the case with the basic steaming method, keep your leaves moist or sprinkle a few drops of water into the bag before cooking.
