Cook’s Tips
To clean the mushrooms, use a damp paper towel or a dishtowel to remove any dirt one at a time. Cleaning mushrooms with water will make them waterlogged. Mushrooms absorb water like little sponges and they won’t brown well when cooked if they are full of water.
When cooking the mushrooms, cook them in a large pan, without a lid and over high heat so that they do not release liquid and add the salt only at the end of cooking
