How to prepare mushroom
Mushrooms are mostly water, which is why they steam and turn grey in a crowded pan and brown properly when you give them room.
- Choose: Pick mushrooms that feel firm and dry, with tight caps and no slimy patches or dark wet spots.
- Store: Keep them in a paper bag or an open box in the fridge. Sealed plastic traps moisture and they spoil faster.
- Prep: Brush off soil with a soft brush or wipe each cap with a damp cloth, then trim the dry end of the stalk. A quick rinse is fine if they are really dirty, but dry them straight away and never leave them soaking, or they will boil in the pan instead of frying.
- Cook: Use a wide pan on a good heat with butter or oil, and spread them out in one layer, in batches if you must. Leave them alone until the underside is golden before you stir.
