Hello! Its me the new guy!! I was just worried about this as i just bought some Organic frozen spinach from safeway last night and cooked it. but now after finding this post after feeding in to my curiousity, i will be buying locally!

and on a side note, did i cook my spinach right?

i followed the directions on the package, brought a 1/4 cup of water to boil, put in a cup of spinach, turned the stove to about half, covered and let sit for 5 minutes.

is this ok?? im pretty freaked out about eating and cooking the spinach i bought........ but i remember also that maybe about 2 months ago, there was an e. coli scare from packaged beef from a distributor in Iowa i believe, but the government FDA says that as long as the beef is cooked throughly that the e. cloi is eliminated. is the same true for spinach and all other foods?

thanks again from the student out on his own and a hypochondriac about cooking for himself for the very first time!!
