Content: To get rid of as much water as possible, grab the spinach in your hands and gently squeeze the leaves. Do this for all of your spinach. If you don’t get rid of the excess water, your recipe or sauce can wind up too wet. Did you make this recipe? Leave a review

1
Put your spinach in a microwave-safe bowl. A microwave-safe bowl is made out of materials that will not catch fire or melt in the microwave. Use a glass, plastic, or ceramic container, and put at least 5 oz (147.9 g) of washed spinach inside. To check if your container is safe for the microwave, look at the bottom. Most containers will read “Microwave-safe” if you can use them in the microwave.
