Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Frozen spinach can be quickly thawed using the microwave. Place frozen blocks of spinach in a 10-inch square microwavable dish. Microwave uncovered on High 3 minutes. Break up blocks; microwave 3 more minutes until completely thawed. Drain well, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.
