I think I zapped mine three times. And it came out perfectly wilted. Today I tried wilting my spinach in the microwave – about 15 seconds at a time on medium heat, gently tossing it between zappings.

This time I heated the dressing to boiling, then poured it over the bowl of spinach and tossed like crazy. That seemed to work. I guess it depends on how wilted you want the spinach to be, plus maybe how firm/tender the spinach is. Many is the time we eat our mistakes! Sometime mine winds up that way too!

I start it inside so I have transplants ready to replant when I harvest. I like tatsoi because it grows so fast, plus it makes lots of leaves.

I usually oversow and wind up with too many to start with. I got the idea of eating the thinnings from James Crockett on the Victory Garden series, years ago. I've never tried transplanting spinach. I've heard of mixed results with others doing it. If you sow the seeds far enough apart, you can skip the first thinning. I usually oversow and wind up with too many to start with.

I left a comment here earlier but I don’t know where it went... :-) Lovely spinach and I will remember that method of thinning twice. Did you ever try to just transplant those spinach thinnings?
