Blanching tho.

AMIRITE?

You can start with the saddest piece of broccolini you've ever seen in your fridge, blanch it, and it's bright and crisp and glorious.

Blanching~

You boil water, chuck in green stuff for, like, a minute tops, drain it and chuck the green stuff in cold water. Instant pretty green stuff!

So far as I'm aware it works on any cookable green stuff. Bok choy, broccolini, beans, snow peas, whatever. I haven't tried it with spinach but I imagine that'd work, too.

Trust me it's awesome :D

Either or =3 Mostly yes, but you don't have to plunge them in cold water for long. If you take them out almost straight away they'll still be warm. Mostly it's about keeping them crunchy and green.
