Pro Tips for Microwaving Spinach
When cooking Spinach in a microwave, it is important to be careful with the water you add to cook them. Only add a little water when cooking them. However, if the Spinach is wet, do not add more water; otherwise, it will become extra moist, and further will not provide the best taste and cooking results.
