Steaming Kale on the Stove: Place the chopped kale in a steamer basket. Bring 1-2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot then carefully place the steamer basket into the pot. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, until kale is just wilted. If you don't have a steamer basket, put the kale in a microwave-safe bowl with about 1 teaspoon of water (the water in the kale itself will be enough to do most of the steaming). Cover the bowl with a paper towel or microwave-safe plastic wrap.
Harvest entire kale plants at 60 to 80 days after germination when they are full size and no longer growing larger. Gather the leaves of one kale plant upward and hold them in this position. Cut across the bottom of the plant, horizontally about 1 inch above ground level to harvest the entire plant for side dishes, main dishes, soups or stews. Place the plants in a container to transport them indoors for storage or use.
