Making a frozen block of spinach more user-friendly when I need just a little


So, I buy those jumbo 3-lb blocks of frozen spinach which are packaged for institutional use. And I may be the only person, here, who does that. But, I think this tip might be useful with those family-sized 10-oz blocks of frozen spinach.


I like to keep several small chunks of frozen spinach, wrapped individually, in the freezer. After chopping/sawing a 3-lb block into 4 12-oz chunks, I then take 1 or 2 of those chunks and cut into 2-3 ounce pieces. The same could be done with a standard-sized, 10-oz frozen package of spinach.


This smaller size is ideal for adding to a pot of vegetable soup, a casserole, or a frittata for the family. A bread knife works well for sawing frozen spinach. Then I wrap the small chinks in plastic, and pop back into the freezer.
