Kitchen Gadgets

Instructions

- Place the lid on the steamer and then place in the microwave.
- Microwave for 2 minutes. Though check on it at 1 minute as your wattage might be higher than ours.
- When it beeps load into a serving dish that is microwave safe, being careful to not add the water from the steamer bowl. Then cover the top with parmesan cheese.

Notes
- Optional – I love my wilted spinach with melted butter and cheese, but it is totally optional.
- Quantity – Remember that spinach wilts a LOT and don’t do less than a bag, because you won’t get much spinach!
