This is part of why my family only eats spinach raw, with the exceptions of soup or pizza.

I feel like my level of cooking skill is on par with someone who thinks they have to change their blinker fluid. I can turn on a stove and cook things in a pan but... Oh wait you wanted it to taste good too? Lol. Sweet summer child.

Frying super market bought ground beef (where I live) feels kinda the same.

Do chefs know about shrinkage?

There are a couple youtube channels about restaurant work that I shared with my coworkers, and they big time agreed that the content is almost literally spot on. Yes, we work at a restaurant.

Cooking tip:
Buy the biggest bag of spinach you can find as you usually get a better price. Once home, steam the spinach in about 2 oz of water in a large skillet until wilted and flattened. Use a spatula and transfer to a glass container. Using a stiff spatula, chop into the spinach using a "grid" pattern. Sit aside and let cool. Transfer to refrigerator in an adequate container. Takes up much less room. Use within 1 week.

Potentially useful, but I suspect that for many people the biggest bag of spinach they can find will be more than they can or want to eat within 1 week...
cytherians
The largest I've ever found was 20 oz. The average is about 8 oz. For two people in my home, we love spinach and sometimes go through about 20 oz of it a week.
Of course, buy what you'll consume. But my point is the bag is like 4x the size of the container for holding the cooked spinach. Big space saver cooking it ahead of time. Reheat with so many options. I like half-cream and turmeric. Goes really well with the spinach flavor profile.

I feel the same way about collard greens, too. Buy enough to fill a literal garbage bag. After filling a pot up and letting them cook out comes about 3 bowls worth.
Niagaran
As someone who cooked collard greens for the first time ever a few days ago, I can relate to this.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
I've found that pressure cooking them maintains their volume exceptionally better and helps infuse flavor better.
IslaNublar
Oh definitely. I prefer pressure cooking them now because of those two very reasons. I mean the time savings alone is ridiculous. Simmer for 8+ hours or pressure cook for 20 minutes? Gee, that's a hard choice!

spinach reduces to a fraction of its volume when cooked
Redshadow09
Because spinach has a lot of water. you lose so much volume its not even funny
OverthinkingThis
.....it's a little funny
Rogahar
But so, so tasty. Also thankfully not pricey either, so yeah I might use most of a bag in one dish but goddamn it's delicious when cooked with a little oil and garlic salt.
Redshadow09
I pretty much use the whole bag or plastic box
Rogahar
The recipe I most often make with it (tuna and spinach pasta) doesnt need the full container, but my husband also prefers spinach as his leafy green of choice for sandwiches so he's more than happy when there's some left over lol

Yes to the trash with that horror lettuce. Some may like it but to me tastes soapy and makes me blow up the toilet 10min later
putcleverusernamehere
No lie, I work part time for my son in law at his farm and every time the CSA box has kale I've told this joke. Always gets a chuckle
Mycologics
As a dutch man, it's so weird that kale is so hated. Like kale has been a staple in dutch (especially autumn and winter) dinners
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
STAMPOT IS THE BEST POT
Sickmindsmakehistory
Hey je was me voor!
trickflo
I think it's because it became a fad food here in north America maybe 10 years ago and a lot of restaurants were doing things the shouldn't have with it
SecondSince
I feel the problem is them trying to eat it without properly cooking it. As a fellow dutchman i love me some boerenkool!
Mycologics
I will admit, stamppot is not my favourite meal. Because I was blessed with being on the spectrum having my food altogether isn't for me. But with enough spekjes and rookworst I will not say no
TehBox0rz
I’m also on the spectrum and stampot was my fav when I was little. carrots and potatoes, kale & potatoes, sourkrut and potatoes. Nom nom nom. I was not a fan of the cabbage and potatoes or the French cut green beans and potatoes versions.
The way we made the first three kinds the entire dish had the same texture and taste- so there were no surprises. The latter two had more of a stringy texture and just didn’t taste as good…
FlatPlutoSociety
Man, if you can't make good food with kale, you're just a bad cook.
NZSheeps
No, you're thinking of bacon
CaptainAsshat
No, bacon is the bad cook's way of making easy food. Lower on the difficulty scale.

Or cheese
DefinitelyaFakeName
I can't make good food with bacon, because anything with bacon makes me sick. More for the rest of you.
NZSheeps
Ironically, I'm the same with kale (it interferes with my meds)
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Kale is one of the worst possible vegetables to cook with. It's immensely healthy but it is not a flavor that goes well with other things.
WorthEveryPenny
Kale is for texture, not flavor. You can boil it and it stays nice and crunchy for much longer. It's great in soups
Valharroth
I think kale is great with a lot of things, recently been putting it in salmon fried rice, just turn it into the rice at the end of frying, you don't want it to cook, just get residual heat. Gives a hint of bitterness that goes well with fishy savoury.
Mistruths
idk I thought kale went pretty good with Caulifla.
saiyoucho
That sounds super.
Etherealvalentine
There are many different kinds and many different preparations. Expand your kale horizons?
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
And before you get on me about all the things people mix it with; it's all things to cover it's flavor. You never enhance or compliment it.
justfillingthespace
Y'all need to try more new things. The average person's palate is insultingly basic.
Valharroth
Disagree with you, but you can like what you like. It complements fatty foods pretty well imo.
aperanis18
I think roasted kale goes pretty hard in couscous tho
md22mdrx
Make the couscous with beef bone broth. Add sautéed shallots, finely grated Romano cheese, then fresh basil … you’ll thank me later.
Etherealvalentine
Agreed
