Description

Should you wash mushrooms or brush off the dirt? To clear up this kitchen conundrum, here’s how to clean mushrooms…the right way.


Ingredients

  • Mushrooms of any type (except morels*)

Instructions

  1. Fill a large bowl with water. Add the mushrooms and toss them in the water for a minute or so until the dirt mostly settles to the bottom. Remove from the bowl and pat dry. Or for a cheaters method, you can simply place the mushrooms in a colander and spray them with water until the dirt washes away.
  2. Cook using your favorite method, like Best Ever Sauteed Mushrooms, Roasted Mushrooms, or Grilled Mushrooms.

Notes

*Morels can be very dirty, so the require cleaning with a scrub brush.
