Cooking Tips

🔥 High Heat is Key

Get your pan very hot before adding mushrooms. This helps them caramelize instead of steaming.

🚫 Don't Overcrowd

Cook in batches if needed. Crowded mushrooms release moisture and won't get crispy.

💧 Clean Gently

Use a damp cloth or soft brush. Never soak mushrooms - they absorb water like sponges!

⏰ Fresh is Best

Use your mushrooms within a week for best flavor and texture. Store in a paper bag in the fridge.
