Use Your Potato Ricer to Remove Moisture from Spinach

I love clever ideas like this. Thanks so much for posting it. I had used the towel to wring it out, but it gets so nasty. And this way I will be able to use the spinach juice for bread or soup or cooking rice too. Great idea!

A few years ago I saw a food show host use a green kitchen towel. You don't have to worry about it staining the towel. I don't have a green towel but I use a dark towel to get the spinach really dry.

That is a GREAT idea and one worthy of using! Thanks!

It never occurred to me to use paper towels or even a cloth towel. I just let the box of spinach thaw, then pick the spinach up in my hand and, um, SQUEEZE it over the sink. If I had a ricer I'd try that method though, as it sound easy.

Try it with shredded potatoes, too.

I don't have a ricer either, so I just thaw my spinach in a colander over a bowl, then hand-squeeze the rest of the moisture out.

I don't have a potato ricer. I just squeeze out the thawed spinach in a clean kitchen towel, then throw the towel into the laundry.

That is an AWESOME idea! Thank you! Now I have to remember where I put the ricer...
