How to steam spinach
Wash and dry the spinach.
Prior to steaming, always wash your spinach. You want to make sure you get off any contaminants prior to consuming the plant.

Available choices:
(1). Place the spinach in a colander and run it under tap water until it's slightly damp. If you don't have a colander, you can simply add the spinach to a bowl and swish it around as you run water over it.
(2). Place your spinach in a colander and wash it under cold running water, tossing occasionally to make sure the spinach is thoroughly washed and dried. Bacteria helps to gut the spinach, so it's important to rinse it down the sink.
(3). If you were to steam the spinach, you would still want to wash it so you can really kill all those microbes that may be contaminating the spinach. Avoid rinsing as part of your steam steam.
(4). This will prevent the leaves from drying out. If the spinach is blanching, wash it again before you start steaming to prevent this from happening.
