Cooking Tips That Actually Matter

πŸ”ͺ

Don't Wash, Just Brush

Mushrooms absorb water like sponges. Use a damp paper towel or soft brush to clean off any substrate bits instead of rinsing.

πŸ”₯

Hot Pan, Don't Crowd

Cook mushrooms in a hot pan with room to breathe. Overcrowding makes them steam instead of sear, leading to soggy results.

πŸ§‚

Salt at the Right Time

Add salt after they've browned, not before. Early salting draws out moisture and prevents proper browning.

❄️

Freeze for Later

SautΓ© mushrooms first, then freeze in portions. They'll keep for months and work great in soups, pasta, or risotto.

⏰

Use Them Fresh

Fresh mushrooms are best within a week of harvesting. Store in a paper bag in the fridge, never plastic.

🌿

Keep It Simple

Mushrooms have great natural flavor. A little butter, garlic, and herbs are often all you need to make them shine.
